Story
Meet Ganderin Goose - the 1-year-old Shepherd mix who never got the memo about "chill time." 😅 She was found as a stray, and now she's on a mission to turn every day into an adventure.Goofy, energetic, and always on the go, this busy body loves to explore 🌍. She's good with dogs, but her playstyle is definitely "bossy big sister" vibes. Ganderin has a short attention span, so one minute she's zooming around like a rocket, and the next she's distracted by... well, pretty much anything.She'll need some basic manners training (sit still? never heard of her 🤷‍♀️), and a home with kids 10+. If you're ready for a goofy sidekick who will keep life exciting, Ganderin Goose is ready to fly home with you! 🪿✨ Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 32.5 Age: 1yrs 9mths 0wks

Tilly is 6 years old. She currently weighs 39lbs but needs to lose a few. Tilly is very nervous when she first meets people, but she is coming out of her shell quickly. She growls if other dogs get in her face, but she likes to sniff them and seems to want to play. Tilly appears to be potty trained. She doesn't seem to make much noise. She is very sweet, loves pets and being brushed. Please include a phone number with your inquiry and/or check your spam folder for the application. Thanks!

Story
Lilly is a beautiful, young female Australian Shepherd. She is a black tri with gorgeous blue eyes. She is about 3years old and weighs 40 pounds. Lilly had a litter of adorable pups, but she has recently been spayed. Lilly's personality has quickly emerged the last couple weeks,and she is very energetic and playful. She has mastered the art of both chasing a ball AND returning it! She even conveniently drops it close by (to speed up the time until you fling it away again!) Lilly has shown no interest in chewing or gnawing on family belongings or furniture, but she loves to curl up on the floor or on a cushion right by your feet. Lilly eats well, sleeps well, and is an amazingly fast learner. She is coming along great with learning sit and shake and has made good progress in leash-walking. She is reactive on leash and will need continued training to overcome this. Lilly enjoys being with people and is eager to accompany you anywhere. She goes in a crate nicely with a treat and has been well-behaved when staying overnight in a crate.Lilly loves to be close to you, but she is also good about laying quietly nearby and giving space when you are occupied. NEEDS TO BE THE ONLY DOG -->>> Lilly has a more dominant, alpha female personality, and she would do best as the only dog in the family. Most of all, she is thrilled to be outdoors and would be phenomenal at any dog sport from agility to frisbee to flyball--she has the zip, speed, and enthusiasm to conquer any activity that you want to enjoy with her! Lilly was kept as a backyard breeding dog and as such will need continued training on leash, basic commands, controlling impulses and socialization. She absolutely LOVES LOVES LOVES people and is happiest spending her time with her foster humans! Spend some time with Lilly, and her bright and fun-loving nature will win your heart! Lilly is being fostered in Richmond, VA. If you think Lilly is the girl for you, please submit our adoption application at the link below! https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption... There is one additional fees: $20 microchip transfer fee to register and transfer her to her new furever family

Story
Hello, I’m Tatum! I’m a 1 ½ year old Australian Shepherd with a personality as big as my heart…and appetite. I’m on the smaller side of standard around 40lbs. When I am not busy running at mach 1 speed, I’m busy winning over your heart with my soulful eyes and a tail that wags more than a windshield wiper in the rain. I am a typical velcro dog so expect me to always be by your side. I absolutely love belly rubs and come with a set of commands that I already know, such as sit, paw and lie down, which always winds up with me demanding belly rubs. Did I mention that I love long walks anywhere and riding with you in the car? Like Hootie said, “I only wanna be with you!” While I must admit that I look quite stunning, do not let this cute face fool you. I need daily stimulation from my human, no matter the weather or time of day. It takes A LOT to wear me out, so a fenced yard is a must. I would love to work on a farm or get involved in dog sports like agility, flyball or dock diving. I prefer women, as men can be scary sometimes, which may elicit me to bark and growl at them, especially if they are standing. I have not shown any aggression toward men, I am just afraid. Any man in my life will need to commit to working with me and possibly seeking a trainer. I was adopted but returned when I began to guard my female adopter from my male adopter. I also prefer female dogs better but need slow and controlled introductions to any dogs. I like friends to play with but need to make sure that our personalities fit well together, so a meet and greet with all family members (human and dog) would be best! Finally, I do have some separation anxiety and can be frightened by loud noises and when I must go to the vet. I will need continued training to be the best boy that I can be. If given the opportunity, resources and a little bit of patience, I can be a very good boy and your best friend! I hope to soon find my furever home where I can be your constant companion. I have so much love to give! I am being fostered in Richmond, VA, but really need a new foster or adopter. (My current foster had to move into a smaller home & yard and 4 dogs is just too much.) Here is the application: australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.

Meet Quiet As a Mouse - the name may be soft, but this 4-year-old Cattledog is anything but quiet when it comes to life and fun! 🐭💥She's good with other dogs, loves to be social, and has that classic Cattledog zest that keeps things exciting. With her high energy and big personality, she'd thrive with an active family who's ready for adventures, playtime, and a smart girl who loves staying busy.Because she can be a little intense during all the excitement, she's looking for a home with kids 10+.
