Story
Contact foster at: jaacostar12@gmail.comSmoky is a perfect gentleman. He knows how to sit, shake hands and lay down on command. He communicates his needs by walking to his leash and harness or when he wants to join you on the couch. He`s a perfect adventure buddy that loves hikes, playing in the water or simply being in the car while you go on errands. He`s potty trained as well and doesn`t unnecessarily bark when he`s inside. His favorite things are walks, playing tug of war and running across the apartment playing fetch with his chew bone.More about Smoky:-Good on leash, can be strong at first-Enjoys playing with tennis balls-Quiet and polite gentleman -Potty trained-Gorgeous brown eyes and beautiful gray/black coat-Better interactions with female dogs-Needs to be the only dog in the home*-Slept through the night-Fetches, but mostly plays `keep away`-Took a bath, didn`t love it but was patient-Actually likes to play in water-Sweet, patient, fun-Minds his manners-Likes car rides-Spooked at sudden sounds, makes a few alarm barks, but not excessive-Likes to stay around you-Grabby with toys, not aggressive, just fast and mouthy...may be best without small children-Interested in anything

Story
Parfait is an Australian Kelpie mix who is full of love and kisses. This approx 18 month old girl is the perfect size at 44 lbs. Parfait came to her foster home after being a stray. She is cautious and timid at first, but once she warms up to you, she becomes an affectionate velcro dog. She is still learning household manners, and we’re just starting to work on basic commands. However, she is housebroken and crate trained. Parfait is great with other dogs and good with cats. She loves to run around the fenced yard with the other dogs. She walks nicely on the leash and is good in the car. Parfait will do best in a home with older children who will understand when to go slowly and give her space. This good girl will need a forever family who is willing to give her time to adjust. After a couple of weeks in her foster home, she is still jumpy with loud noises and sudden movements. Parfait will need some time and love to understand that she’s safe and home. --- To apply to adopt, please follow the steps for adoption on HalfwayThereRescue.com/Adoption-Process and apply directly here: https://fs26.formsite.com/htrnp/a2k3lsooud/index.html

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
