Story
Ava is a beautiful 3-year-old girl who was adopted from us as a puppy and is now looking for a fresh start. She didn’t get much exposure to the big, busy world in her previous home, so she needs a little time and patience to feel comfortable with new people—especially men. Once Ava feels safe, her sweet personality shines through. She already knows how to “sit pretty,” and her previous owner shared that she was reliably housebroken. Ava would love a calm, understanding home where she can build her confidence at her own pace. If you have a gentle heart and a little extra patience, Ava will reward you with loyalty and love. Come meet her and see if she’s the one you’ve been waiting for! If interested, please fill out a preliminary at odas.org/canine and someone will contact you to schedule your visit.

Story
Attention, all friends - current and future - of Banjo! (That is, me). If you've got plans for this weekend, cancel them, because there's a PARTY AT MY PLACE! It's gonna be LIT. We've got a Kong bar, a tap water keg, and- get this- my buddy Chaz says his roommate has this crazy new tennis ball that smells like bacon. We'll have a butt-sniffing conga line and, best of all... there will be HUMANS. I'll provide the entertainment. I'm lots of fun to be around and I have all kinds of party tricks! I mean, yes, most of them involve giving high fives, but who doesn't love a high five?! I know I'm the life of the party. You don't have to tell me. I guess I'm just blessed with being a super social guy! I love children and have lived with other dogs and even farm animals and done well with them. In fact, what do you say we keep this party going? I've got plenty of energy, but more importantly, I just... don't want you to leave. Or... I mean, I'm good in the car, so if you HAVE to leave, maybe I could come along? I'll admit, sometimes I get lonely when my people leave and am scared they won't come back for me, so if you have to leave, I should be crated to keep me from getting into trouble while I wait for you. I've been told I'm a "velcro dog" and I'll own up to that. Things are just better with my people around, you know? So, about this party... there is one detail I haven't worked out yet: the address. See, I say it's at my place, but right now, I don't really have a "place" of my own. I was kinda hoping we could change that, though. Maybe su casa can be mi casa? I promise to be the best roommate ever. If interested please fill out a preliminary at odas.org/canine and someone will contact you to schedule your visit.

Story
Meet Remi, an Australian Cattle Dog puppy who is smart, driven, and not for the faint of heart.Remi is a true working breed puppy. She is incredibly intelligent and intense and she needs a very specific, experienced home to thrive.She requires a highly active, structured lifestyle with people who understand Australian Cattle Dogs and are prepared to meet her mental and physical needs every day. Long walks and backyard time alone will not be enough. Remi needs a job, consistent training, problem-solving activities, and purposeful outlets for her energy. A farm, ranch, working environment, or dedicated dog-sport home would be ideal.True to her breed, Remi herds everything, hyper-fixates easily, and does not have an “off switch.” When overstimulated or under-guided, she can become mouthy, pushy, and tune out cues. She will test boundaries and needs clear rules, structure, and confident handling. Breed experience is a must.Remi can be possessive and has little sense of personal boundaries with other dogs, so she will do best with careful management and continued training, or possibly as the only dog. She is not suitable for a home with children.She is still very much a puppy and learning. Remi is not fully potty trained yet and may whine in her crate as she continues crate training.In the right home—someone who understands the breed, enjoys training, and is committed to channeling her instincts—Remi has the potential to be an incredible working partner. In the wrong environment, she would quickly become overwhelmed and unhappy.Remi is not a city dog.She needs more than walks or free time in the backyard—she needs purpose, structure, and stimulation.If you are an experienced adopter looking for a driven, high energy puppy who needs leadership and a job to do, Remi may be your perfect match.Remi is 9 months old and weighs 24 pounds.The adoption fee for adult dogs, seven months and older, is $250. All pets are microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will be altered prior to adoption. If you are interested in meeting a dog, please stop by the shelter during open hours. Dogs may be in a foster home, therefore scheduling an appointment is recommended. If you have an existing dog at home, we recommend bringing it along to meet your possible new family member.helpingstrays.org
