Story
I AM SPONSORED! Thank you Spice, Koal and Zee for sponsoring me! Meet Tanner, a sweet and energetic Australian Cattle Dog mix with a zest for life. His curious nature turns every day into an adventure, and his intelligence allows him to learn new tricks quickly. Tanner is incredibly friendly and always ready to greet you with a wagging tail and a playful bounce. He thrives on interaction and would love a home where he can channel his energy into fun activities and bonding experiences. Adopt Tanner and discover the joy of having a loyal and loving companion who will bring endless fun and affection to your life. Dogs are usually tested with other dogs their size, and we encourage meet-and-greets with your dog before adoption. Cat tests are available if requested, but they only check for clear aggression. Always be careful when introducing dogs to cats. Advice about dogs living with children is based on behavior like energy level and how the dog handles touch. Young children should never be left alone with dogs, and we cannot guarantee how any dog will behave with kids or other pets. Behavior seen in the shelter is just a snapshot and may change in a home. Dogs come from many backgrounds and may need training, time, and patience. Dogs should not be fed together unless you know they do not guard food. We also suggest learning about a dog's breed or mix to be sure it fits your family. Moving to a new home can be stressful for dogs. Use the Rule of 3 to help them adjust: First 3 days: Dogs may feel scared, tired, overexcited, or not want to eat. First 3 weeks: Dogs start learning routines and may show new behaviors. Keep things calm and avoid busy places. First 3 months: Dogs usually feel settled and more comfortable.

Story
G'day potential Paw Parents! My name is Tucker and I am a male, 1 year old, purebred Australian Shepherd, and I'm looking for my forever home and Hooman. When I came to Golden Paws, I was pretty skittish, but I have improved a lot since then. I'll warm up to you after I get to know you a bit. Really, I just want to be loved and to play. Pretty simple, right? If you aren't familiar with us, Australian Shepherds are very intelligent. We are highly trainable and have a great work ethic. We love to have a job to do and have strong herding instincts. If we don't have sheep to herd, we're just as likely to herd chickens, or ducks or children. We love exercise, mental stimulation, and training. As I said, I'm still skittish, so I don't do very well with other dogs yet. I don't like fast movements from my Hooman either. I just need time with a very patient Hooman who will help me get over my standoffishness and shyness. Someone who will not give up. That's fair dinkum. (I know, Australian Shepherds were pretty much bred in the United States, but people still expect you to be Australian.) I am a tricolor Aussie and I will weigh between 26 to 60 lbs. I have been neutered and have had all my shots. So fill out an application and come on in for a visit Potential Paw Parent! Crikey! You know it's the right thing to do, for both of us. See you soon, and we'll go Waltzing Matilda together! Love, Tucker
