Story
In Oliver Springs: This sweet girl is Misty. She is an 11-month-old Aussie blend puppy and gets along well with other dogs but can be bossy and will take toys away from other dogs and show resource guarding with toys and the couch. No growling but barks and is EASILLY CORRECTED. She is fine with less dominant dogs and seems to like and respect the foster mom’s female more than the male although they all play well together. She is loveable but can be a bit intense because of her size and puppy energy. She seems to love everyone she meets. No small children because she’s so big and high energy. She is a barker and will bark at other dogs when she sees them, but it seems like it’s because she wants to play and just gets excited. Misty does well in the car and loves to go for rides. She walks okay on a leash but needs more work to not pull. She does jump up on people because she is so excited to meet everyone, but we have been working with her, and she is getting better. She will counter surf and needs more work and correction and since she is still a puppy, she will also chew blankets, toys, shoes if available, so proper puppy toys should be available and important items kept out of reach until she is older. We do crate her when we are out and at night and she does great and will go in when offered a treat. She will chase cats because she’s still a puppy and thinks the noises they make sound fun to play with. I think she may grow out of this with a dog savvy cat. Mine just avoid her. Misty is a bundle of love with no concept of her size. She was 68 pounds on her last vet visit and is about 11 months old now. She will lay on top of you for love, snuggles and affection. She has so much love to give. If she sounds perfect for you, please fill out our application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee that includes registration and transfer to her new furever family.

Story
In Maryville: Hey! I'm Nelly, DOB 11/22/24! I live with my foster mom currently in Vonore, TN area! I was rescued from a shelter with ASF and I haven't had a great start. My background is unknown, however I do have some issues with nervousness and new people! While I'm a puppy, I prefer not to be picked up/approached. If approached I will tend to run away from you. Loud, sudden movements will make me jump. I will come to you, but coming or walking to me makes me anxious. My foster mom says I will get over this fear if someone works with me on building trust with humans! I get along with dogs fantastically! I tend to follow my foster sister around everywhere. I am her shadow. I play with her, cuddle with her, and look to her for guidance. I would do best in a home with another dog that will bring me comfort and teach me how to be a puppy! I need some potty training/leash training/basic training but I'm very smart and food motivated! Despite my skittishness I will listen for treats! I struggle on a leash because I get anxious being approached by people. However, when my personality comes out while I am playing with other dogs or on the occasion I play with my foster mom, I am a hilarious goofball that's just like any puppy! All I need is some love and patience! PS, I would do best with a slow feeder so that I do not get sick!! If I sound perfect for your family, please fill out the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to her new furever family .

Story
In Maryville: These sweet girls in NE-Tenn are ready for their furever home!! Starburst(deaf dm) and Ariel(border collie) came to us as owner surrenders through no fault of their own. At 11 years young, the girls are still full of life and would love to land with a family to fulfill their golden years. The loving bond these girls have makes me feel they must stay together. They play so well together and lounge together, but they also have a wonderful sense of autonomy. The girls are dog, cat, VERY kid friendly. They are very pleasant to take out and about. They pay no mind to others passing by while on walks at the park. They do need help in and out of the car. I would say the girls are approx 40 lbs. House broken, leash, and crate trained. They are fully UTD on all medical care. These girls are such little loves!! If you are interested in more info, please reach out via email and fill out the application --both listed below! https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application Our senior fee is $230 and we are going to reduce one fee to $150 and waive the 2nd fee to keep this bonded pair together. There is an additional $20 microchip fee per pup which includes registration and transfer to their new furever family.
