Story
Bird found us about 9 months ago. We have determined he is an Australian Kelpie, might have a little bit of something else, but looks, acts, and has brains of a kelpie. He is a working dog, needs someone to give him a job. He tries to herd the cats in a line, loves to be chased, and he is very strong. Bird is also very protective of the house, no strangers are getting in. He is also very loving. He has been bred to be a working dog, and I feel so bad for him. Our lifestyle really doesn’t work for him. We both work a lot. He needs to be able to get more exercise, and it is about to get worse. We are relocating this summer and I look to have just a lot and a smaller place. When we couldn’t find his owners and a place to take him when he first came to us, we decided to give it a try, but quickly remembered why we never had a dog before. We are definitely not responsible dog owners.

Story
Hi! I'm beautiful girl Equinox!Like most cattle dog breeds, I need a job to do because I'm so smart! I want to sniff and work my brain daily! I love to be outside - actually, I prefer to walk and enjoy the outdoors over sitting around inside! I will make a great companion for someone who wants an active pup to go, go, go. Having a backyard yard or walking the neighborhood daily is a bonus! I have been spending time in a foster home so there's a lot that's known about me now! First off, I'm super sweet! I have had no potty accidents in the house, so I'm likely potty trained. I like playing with toys and know the command "sit." I get a little anxious if I'm indoors too long, so I need an outdoorsy adopter! Let's adventure together! Because of my cattle dog tendencies, I would do best in a home without small children, cats or small dogs. I do require an intro if there are larger dogs in the home!  Please apply for me soon so we can meet and become best buds! Love, Equinox

Story
Ivy is a sweet 5 year old Corgi/ Australian Shepard mix. We are in desperate need of a home for her. I am moving in with my mother who has a cat and I cannot take her with me. I took her from a home of an alcoholic that could no longer care for her. Ivy is overweight and on thyroid medication. She is a loving dog that just wants to be petted. She needs good veterinary care with lab draws for her thyroid . Ivy is good with other dogs. I dont think I would trust her with small children. If you are looking for a sweet , fun affectionate dog, Ivy is your girl.

Story
gordon is a sweet and energetic puppy he is about 7 months old We are trying to rehome Gordon for my mother because she has a rottie and as Gordon gets bigger her rottie does not have have the patience or energy for a young dog. Gordon’s parents are both my dogs his mom is a blue heeler and the father is a red husky. Gordon’s siblings were adopted after they hit appropriate age for adoption. Gordon is a sweet dog my mom was hoping her dog and Gordon would get along well. But Gordon is energetic and that doesn’t pair well with a 150 pound dog that wants to cuddle with his mom all day. date of birth-07/30/2023
