Story
2 yr old tricolor M/N Kelpie/GSD mix Looking for a dogs dog?? Gunner is your guy! He was comfortable enough around me, allowed touch, took treats, interacted some with me, but he really really wanted to play with the big dog in the next yard. He wasn't aloof though! Took treats gently, eager to please and loved being called a good boi, it was a fun yard time for both us us He does seem to be feeling the stress from the shelter, some have had some trouble getting him out of his kennel but he was perfectly behaved for me. This is an active breed, he will need consistent physical and mental exercise to be happy, it is likely what is causing his current stress and occasional barrier reactivity. It is worth noting that he was a very loud bork monster when I first approached his kennel but after 3 treats he was ready to follow me anywhere I was going Knows how to sit, walks well on the leash (just a tiny bit of pulling) and seemed potty trained!! ##2528145##

Story
Ceasar is a 15mth old altered male kelpie mix 🐶 Ceasar Hey, I’m Ceasar. I’ll be real with you — I’m still figuring this whole “new people” thing out. Meeting strangers makes me nervous, and if I feel cornered, I might snap. But here’s the thing: once I get to know you and trust you, my softer side comes out, and I can relax and be myself. The good news? I get along with dogs way easier than I do with people! 🐕 They help me feel comfortable and confident. With patience, training, and someone willing to go slow, I know I can keep improving just like I did with my foster. If you’re the type of person who believes in second chances and helping an underdog shine, I’d love to be your project pup and, eventually, your best friend. ❤️

Story
DELI Breed: Australian Kelpie Mix Birthday: 7/25/2024 Weight: 40 pounds Health: Healthy, vaccinated and spayed Personality Deli is a bright, spirited young girl who’s eager to experience everything the world has to offer. She’s highly intelligent and quick to learn, making her a fantastic candidate for advanced training, agility courses, or interactive games that challenge her mind. Deli thrives on human connection—she’ll stick by your side during hikes, trot happily on neighborhood walks, and settle in for cuddles at the end of the day. She’s alert and curious, often tilting her head when you talk to her like she’s trying to understand every word. While she has an independent streak, Deli is also deeply affectionate and loves feeling part of a family unit. With the right environment, she will blossom into a loyal and engaging lifelong companion. Breed Information Australian Kelpies are known for their agility, stamina, and intelligence. They were originally bred as working dogs and need both mental and physical stimulation to stay balanced. As a mix, Deli may be slightly more adaptable than a purebred Kelpie but will still benefit from regular exercise and purposeful activities. ‍&#226&#153&#128&#239&#184&#143 Owner Responsibilities Provide daily physical activity and mental stimulation Continue socialization and training Offer love, consistency, and positive reinforcement Keep up with vet care, vaccinations, and grooming &#226&#154&#160&#239&#184&#143 Things to Consider High-energy breed mix; not suited for low-activity households Needs a secure, fenced yard (not to be chained outside) Consider the adjustment period and training time Be prepared for financial responsibilities (vet, food, supplies) Check that your housing allows dogs of this size and breed Be aware of possible household allergies &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Why Deli is an Excellent Choice Deli is a loyal and fun-loving companion for an active family or individual. Her intelligence and enthusiasm for life make her a joy to train and spend time with. She’ll thrive in a home that can match her energy and offer her love and purpose.
