Story
✨ Meet Chelsea — Your Loyal Little Shadow ✨ Chelsea is a gorgeous 2-year-old Australian Shepherd who is every bit as smart, loving, and devoted as her breed promises. At just 35 pounds, she’s the perfect “take-anywhere” size — tiny enough to scoop up for adventures, but big enough to be your steady, loyal companion. Chelsea can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a moment and she’ll fall head-over-heels for you. Once she decides you’re her person, she bonds hard and wants nothing more than to be by your side. She’s an affectionate girl whose favorite place to sleep is snuggled close like a baby. Because she loves her humans so deeply, Chelsea does have a bit of separation anxiety. The ideal home for her is one where someone works from home, has a flexible schedule, or enjoys taking their pup along when running errands or heading to work. She truly just wants to be with her people. Chelsea enjoys the company of other dogs, but she’s equally content as an only pet — her heart is big enough to devote entirely to you. She would do well with older, gentle children, but due to her herding breed tendencies and active nature, she may be a bit too much for very young kids. If you’re looking for a loving, petite companion who will adore you endlessly, Chelsea is ready to give you her whole heart.

Marmaduke

Australian Shepherd German Shepherd Dog

Male, 1 yr 2 mos
Homewood, AL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Marmaduke is a big goofy lovebug! He adores children and other dogs. He is very curious about cats and chickens and is probably best in a home without those (or where he can be separated from them). He is only about 1 year old and has been in rescue all his life. He had a medical issue as a puppy that required surgery and he is completely healed from that. He will do best in a home with a secure fenced yard, another dog or dogs to play with that are not tiny since he's so big, and respectful animal-loving children that will love him as much as he loves them. If you are interested in Marmaduke, please fill out an application at our website: forrescue.net He is fostered in the Huntsville, AL area and could be available for transport but transport fees are on top of the adoption fee.

✨ Meet Tootie — Your New Snuggle Companion! ✨ Tootie is a gentle, affectionate 7–8-year-old Australian Shepherd who is ready to curl up right next to her forever family. Weighing in at a perfectly huggable 45–50 lbs, this sweet girl is all about cozy moments and quiet companionship.

She’s great with dogs, cats, chickens, and other farm animals — truly a peaceful soul who blends effortlessly into any home environment. If you’re looking for a loving, mellow companion who will reward you with soft eyes, warm cuddles, and a heart full of loyalty, Tootie is your girl. She’d be a lovely fit for just about any home, from a quiet household to a family looking for a gentle, well-mannered pup.

Sammy is a wonderful Australian Shepard. He is very sweet. He seems to have been abused by a male. So, it takes him a while to get close to people, particularly men. Just be patient and loving and he will return the love. Sammy has been with Sandy, a female Australian Shepard that looks like him, all his life and the two need to stay together.

Bella 🐾 Meet Bella! 🐾 Bella is a 5–6 month old pup with a heart full of love and a personality that’s equal parts playful and cuddly. 💕 ✨ Fun Facts About Bella: 1. Potty trained — no accidents since day one! 🚽👏 2. The biggest cuddle bug 🛋️ 3. Loves car rides (as long as she can touch you) 🚗❤️ 4. Super playful, floppy, and full of puppy energy 🎾 5. Smart girl who already knows “sit” 🐾 Bella’s favorite things? Sunbathing after potty breaks 🌞, flopping down leash and all, and “talking” at her reflection with the cutest little howl-growl combo. 🐶 She’s had a tough start to life and can be timid with men and kids, but she is never aggressive. She does great hanging out in a bathroom with her bed and toys, but a crate makes her very anxious. She’s working hard on puppy manners like “sit before pets” and “sit before food,” and she takes direction well. Bella is both a couch potato and a playmate — she loves walks, playtime, and then snuggling close. She just wants to be loved, reassured, and never left behind again. 💙 🏡 Ideal Home: Bella would thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention and get plenty of affection, exercise, and continued training. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’ll make you laugh, keep you company, and love you endlessly, Bella is your girl. 🥰 If interested in adopting one of our available pets, please fill out an application at https://www.cognitoforms.com/DixieGirl1/PetAdoptionApplicationForm2 Most of our are pets are fostered in Southern foster homes and are posted for adoption once they are completely vetted and ready to travel.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Sheesh, a one-year-old pup whose unique personality perplexed her foster mom until she received the breed results — border collie and Labrador retriever!  Sheesh’s hobbies are all lab. She loves playing fetch and brings the ball back consistently.  Sheesh also loves water and will go towards any source of water, whether it’s coming from a sprinkler in the neighborhood or running in a creek. She loves being outside in the rain and isn’t afraid of getting all wet. She’s so calm and easy during baths that her foster mom still bathes her in the kitchen sink even though she’s much too big for it now at 45 lbs full grown.  The border collie in Sheesh is also very apparent in how intelligent and obedient she is. Sheesh follows instructions without the need for a treat. She’ll come when you call her name and go to her crate when told to. She’s very smart and learns new skills quickly. She also has some herding tendencies and can get very focused on things like a squirrel in the yard. She’s of course energetic, but does take plenty of naps throughout the day.  Sheesh will do best in an active home with owners who want to take her on long morning walks. Sheesh loves her walks, but she can get a little too excited by other excitable dogs she encounters. She will need someone willing to work with her on this, possibly with a trainer’s help. Sheesh is very redirectable and responsive if the person walking her knows what to do.  Sheesh has been in her foster home since July 2024 and is fully potty trained, crate trained and has zero separation anxiety. She’s super friendly, happy and loving, and is friends with all the dogs in her foster home. There’s not a mean bone in her body. She even shows remarkable patience with small puppies, letting them climb all over her and chew on her beautiful, fluffy tail. Although she’s not perfect, Sheesh is a special young dog who will bring great joy to her forever family.”
