Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Lyra is about 2 years old and looks to be a shepherd/heeler type mix. She was found running loose, held for the LEGAL stray hold, and never claimed. She is very shy but becomes very loyal and loving companion once she's comfortable and secure. Lyra has been vet checked, spayed, chipped, and her fee is $150. Lyra has been adopted a couple of times and returned as she just hasn't been able to find the right fit yet. She is incredibly smart and learns quickly. However she does possess quite a few of the intense traits of a herding breed type dog. She is laser focused and needs both mental and physical exercise. She would love to have some type of job to do and would probably be a great candidate for agility training. She does tend to bond quite closely to one or two people and can be protective and territorial. Lyra needs an ADULT only home. She needs someone who is experience with herding breed types and their quirky personalities. She would love a home that is ready, willing, and able to continue with her training and helping her gain confidence. FENCED YARD needed. Lyra has done well with well mannered MALE dogs who respect her space. She does enjoy playing with other dogs once she's comfortable. Cats? Most likely a no. Cuddling is one of her favorite things. She's also in need of a home in which she won't be left alone for long hours. NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications can be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventative, and spayed or neutered.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 13, 2025, 3:41 pm

Story
Darling is a smaller cattle dog/Shepherd mix born in January 2021. She came in as a stray with another dog. Darling gets along ok with dogs smaller than her, but not so well with bigger dogs. Darling is very smart and aware of everything going on around her. She loves people and loves attention. Darling was adopted earlier this year, but her new mom had to move to assisted living and Darling couldn't go along. She walks well on a leash and rides well in a car. Darling is eager to find a new family and start a new life - would you like to be her new best friend? She hopes she can find a new Home for the Holidays! All pets adopted from the Humane Society of Freeborn County will be spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, testing and will be microchipped. All of this is included in their adoption fee. Fill out an application to adopt at freeborncountyhs.org When transitioning your new pet home please allow for at least 4-6 weeks for your pet to adjust to their new home. They will need this time to decompress, and adjust to a new routine and environment. During that time we will provide check ins and counseling to ensure a successful transition. Please review all basic adoption requirements listed on our website before applying. We take finding the right homes for the animals in our care very seriously. They deserve nothing but the best! Please allow 2-7 days for applications to be processed. If an animal is listed in foster care, these pets are not at our facility, but are in foster care homes. They are still available for adoption, and meet and greets are done with pre-approved applicants only. If you have any questions feel free to send us an email at freeborncohumanesociety@gmail.com, send us a message on Facebook, or call or text 507-377-8501.

Casper

Australian Cattle Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
🎉 Meet Casper — the shy guy with the heart of gold (and the soul of a professional belly-rub enthusiast)! 🎉 Casper is a one-year-old Cattle Dog mix who’s trading in his “crowded roommate lifestyle” (he used to live with 15 other dogs!) for a cozier setup with a human or two who appreciate his charm and cuddles. He was politely “evicted” from his old digs, but honestly — we think it’s the best thing that could’ve happened to him. New chapter, new leash on life! 🐾 Casper is currently working on perfecting his leash skills. Translation: he’s figuring out that leashes aren’t snakes and walks are actually kinda fun. He’s even started going potty on leash — what a star student! 🌟 Once he decides you’re one of the good ones, he’ll roll over and demand belly rubs like a total pro. This sweet boy can get a little overwhelmed by dogs who are too ‘in your face,’ so he appreciates calm canine friends and people who understand gentle encouragement. Slow, positive introductions help him feel safe and confident. In his foster home, he’s done great with one or two relaxed dogs who respect his space. Casper will be neutered on Wednesday, November 12, and then he’ll be officially ready for his forever home!💕 If you love a shy-but-silly pup who just needs a little time to come out of his shell (and into your lap), Casper might just be your guy. Once he trusts you, he’ll give you his whole heart — and maybe even let you pick the Netflix show. 💫 👉 Apply to adopt Casper at: www.campcompanion.org 💰 Adoption fee: $350 plus tax

Story
***This dog is housed at the Rochester Animal Control facility. In order to meet her, you need to submit an adoption application first. Applications can be found on the homepage of the Paws and Claws website. Once you submit an application, a PCHS staff member will contact you with next steps to meet her.***Meet Kylie Jenner!This beautiful girl was surrendered to Animal Control when her owners could no longer care for her. This bummed her out a bit but she is hopeful she will be able to find a new home very soon. Kylie has been nervous since being in the shelter, and who can blame her? But slowly and surely she is warming up to the officers and learning the routine.Kylie would benefit from an owner that has Cattle Dog/herding dog experience as has a lot of very stereotypical `herding dog traits`. For example... she is very smart, stubborn, and opiniated. With the right owner, she would make a great companion for roaming around the farm, patrolling a large fenced in yard, or learning agility!If Kylie seems like a good fit for you, apply online today!Adoption fee is $300 + $30 microchip fee + tax

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Argo arrived in November 2022 from our friends at the Rescue Network after he was rescued from a Reservation in South Dakota. He is about 3 to 4 years old and does have a lot of the trademark features of mixed breed dogs from Reservations - "Rezzies", as they are affectionately known in rescue. Like many Rezzies, he could be a mix of cattle dog and German and/or Australian shepherd, just to name a few possible options. He's a handsome and very active dog. He has been vet checked and neutered and his fee is $125. Argo has had some basic training and will require a lot of consistent exercise. This is of the utmost importance in order to keep him well balanced and happy. He is ready for action all the time but gets serious when leashed. He does pretty well on leash walks and loves car rides. He's an affectionate guy, too, who thinks nothing of climbing into a person's lap if he gets the chance. Argo would do best in a home with a large fenced yard. He's NOT a dog for apartment living. He's looking for an ADULT only, single person home as he tends to bond very closely to his person and becomes quite protective. No cats for him. He's incredibly smart and would be a lot of fun to train!
