Story
Danny's tender, young life had been a tough road that ended with him being dumped at the shelter gravely wounded.  He had been dragged "accidentallly" by the truck taking him to the shelter to be dumped and his feet were raw, bloody and extremely painful and had some other cuts and bruises...he was lucky to be alive.   He could barely walk let alone stand without being in excruciating pain. This poor guy had been through so much in his very young life that we had to save him and get him whole and painfree.  It was a tough road as you can imagine but he was always such a great patient and he could tell we were trying to help him.  Weeks upon weeks of having to wear an Elizabethan collar and lots of TLC from us, he was mended and we began to see his amazing little personality shine through.   He just blossomed and has become the sweetest, funniest boy!  He loves to play with other dogs but is also content to play with toys by himself.  He is also very happy basking in the sun.   Danny is a smart boy and is willing to please.  He is food motivated so training him is a breeze.  He's a younger adult with lots of energy so an active person or family with children over 10 would be perfect.  He deserves his happily ever and his REAL day in the sun! If interested in possibly meeting him, please go to freedomfarmrescue.com and fill out an online application. We just like to know a little about you prior to a meet and greet.

Story
“You can’t resist reading Pointer’s profile  because he is so darn cute, but Pointer isn’t for everyone. Pointer is a Blue Heeler mix, weighing in at less than 30 lbs. Just like bigger herding dogs, Pointer likes to chase, herd, nip heels and is very strong-willed. Pointer needs lots of exercise and must have mental stimulation throughout the day. He enjoys learning commands and working on his obedience commands and would make an excellent agility, nose work, scent work or other sport participant. Pointer is not a couch potato and when left to entertain himself, he can get into trouble. Pointer needs a person who is experienced with herding breeds or dogs who are competitive in sports and are not put off by his strong personality.  With the right person, Pointer can be the ultimate friend!  I would not be a candidate for an apartment, condo/townhome or a home without a fence. If interested in giving me a forever home please complete an application at www.safeanimalhaven.com Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler Characteristics Standing between 17 to 20 inches at the shoulder, the Australian Cattle Dog is a sturdy, hard-muscled herder of strength and agility. The ACD is born with a white coat that turns blue-gray or red. Both coat varieties feature distinctive mottling or specking patterns. ACDs have immense work drive and excel at hunting, chasing, and, of course, moving livestock. Their boundless energy and supple gait make them excellent running partners.ACDs are true-blue loyal, famously smart, ever alert, and wary of strangers. If an ACD isn’t challenged, he easily becomes bored and gets into mischief. It is recommended that ACD owners participate with their dog in some work, sport, or regular exercise to keep him mentally and physically fit.November 5, 2024, 12:12 am

Story
Atlas is a sweet, energetic 6-month-old Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) who loves people, playtime, and learning new things. He’s fully vaccinated, healthy, crate-trained, and doing excellent with potty training. Why He's Looking for a New Home: We adopted Atlas shortly after losing our first dog, and in our shock and grief, we underestimated how much structure and space a young working breed needs. With small children, three cats, no fenced yard, and a neighborhood with loose dogs, we aren't the right fit for his energy level. He's genuinely a wonderful puppy. We want him in a home where he can truly thrive. We will send him with his vet records, crate, toys, and current food stash. If interested: Please message with a brief overview of your experience, home setup, daily routine, and how you plan to meet his activity needs. We're looking for the best possible match for this sweet boy.

Story
Hey friends! I’m Killogg, a happy, friendly guy who loves everyone. Seriously, I haven’t met a person (or dog!) I didn’t like. I’m the kind of pup who greets you with a wagging tail and a big smile, ready for fun or cuddles, whichever you’re up for! I love to play and have lots of energy for adventures, but I’m also a smart boy who will sit politely for treats (yum!). I’ve met some other dogs here at the shelter, and we’ve gotten along great. I’m pretty easygoing and just want to make friends wherever I go. Bonus news! If I can find a committed adopter or foster, I can catch a ride down to Petco in Huntersville, NC (10017 Biddick Lane, Huntersville NC 28078) on December 18th, 2025 so we can meet in person! If you’d like to know more about me or think I might be your next adventure partner, my team would love to hear from you! Email: ncteam@austinpetsalive.org Phone: (704) 266-3647 to learn more about me. I can’t wait to start our adventures together! Love and tail wags, Killogg

Story
  Izzy is a beautiful 4 year old, 55 pound Australian Shepherd beauty with a quiet, loving soul and a heart shaped by both deep love and loss. Once owned by a lovely woman who made Izzy the center of her world, our girl Izzy lost this wonderful owner 2 years ago to cancer.  A kind neighbor took care of Izzy and another dog while they lived in the now vacant home of her deceased owner.  Izzy was maintained in a very isolated and limited world of that house.  She was fed and given a few pets daily and fresh water.  Izzy's life changed forever 2 years ago in a way she couldn't understand.  The mortgage was paid on the house for those 2 years and now it has been sold and Izzy must leave immediately and by December 20th.  The clock is ticking for her life once again.  Change is about to come.  Through this all Izzy has maintained her gentle nature with a sweet, calm and afffectionate softness still showing through in her personality.  She never asks for much but offers steady companionship and devotion once she feels secure. She has lived well with other dogs and around farm animals, showing her easygoing and adaptable personality.  Izzy enjoys simple pleasures: riding quietly in the car, curling up on a couch, and being pampered with the occasional grooming session. What she wants most is a calm, consistent home and a person to call her own — someone who will let her take life at her own pace and remind her that she’s cherished. Izzy is ready for a new chapter — one filled with comfort, routine, and the kind of love that lasts forever. She has so much tenderness to give and is patiently waiting for the home where she can finally settle in and belong.  Can you foster Izzy or even better offer her a forever resting place to lay her head and to offer you her unconditional love?  Please hurry and contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com The Christmas rush is here but Izzy's life is not just about opening presents under the tree, but opening a new chapter in her life that has stability and a promise of deep love.       PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comDecember 15, 2025, 10:41 pm

Story
Hi, my name is Zara! I am a beautiful gray and white 3-year-old Australian Shepherd Poodle mix. While ladies typically don’t disclose their weight, I am about 50 lbs. If you are a smart and active person or couple looking to adopt a dog with a similar temperament, then we could be a great match! I love going for walks and would appreciate having someone who can incorporate that into my daily routine. Getting outside for exercise is something I enjoy, and I would also make an excellent running companion. Visiting the park or going on hikes would be a lot of fun, too! Not to brag, but I believe I'm quite a looker, and I’m confident that if you took me to the park, we would make lots of friends together. While I love people, I am not used to being around other dogs, so a dog park wouldn’t be suitable for me. However, I’m always up for hanging out where the people are! I’m also a bit too energetic for young children; I sometimes forget that I'm bigger than they are and might accidentally knock them over. It would be wonderful if someone in the household could work from home, as I am crate-trained but don't like spending long hours alone. I thrive on human interaction and am seeking a loving home.  I promise to return your love! If you would like to be considered for my forever family, please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com. Please note that an approved application and adoption fee are required. (I am currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)    July 30, 2025, 9:47 pm

Story
Stella is a friendly and intelligent dog with plenty of energy. We want her to be happy and have a space where she can run around and play with other dogs. Previously, Stella lived in the mountains of Colorado, where she enjoyed a large fenced yard and had lots of friends to play with. Now, she is living in a townhouse without a yard, which has been challenging for her. As a very active young lady, she is currently feeling unhappy. Stella is a mix of Australian Cattle Dog, Husky, German Shepherd, and Golden Retriever, and she is expected to weigh around 30 pounds. She is a loving and eager-to-learn dog who picks up new skills quickly. Stella would be an amazing agility dog, as this would engage both her mind and her need for physical activity. If agility training isn't your interest, she would also thrive in an active lifestyle with an avid walker, hiker, or runner.  Stella is a very quick learner and was immediately fully potty trained.     To ensure the best for Stella, her new owners should have a yard or live on a farm, and it would be great if they have another dog and children.  Stella has plenty of energy to add playing at home to her list of activities.    Stella has been spayed and is current on all her shots until May 2026.  To be considered for her forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Stella is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)  July 30, 2025, 9:47 pm
