Story
Was it the smile that got you? We know it was! Introducing the oh, so sweet Sally! Sally is an adorable young pup who’s ready to leave her rough start behind and find the forever home she deserves! She`s been through a lot in her short life, and she`s finding the shelter environment quite stressful. That`s why a patient home full of love is exactly up Sally`s alley! When she has a safe, quiet space to relax, this people-loving pup is all about snuggles, pets, and snoozing beside you in bed. She’s a great leash walker, did great with respectful dogs in her previous foster home, and has loved her kennel since day 1. For her, a crate acts perfectly as a cozy safe space to retreat to for a peaceful nap or rest. Sally is also an excellent office companion! She can be left alone without destruction, although she does enjoy “collecting” a few treasures around the room. She’s smart and eager to learn, and is working on her jumping manners and house training. Because fast movements and loud noises can make her nervous, Sally would love patient, calm people who can help her build confidence. Give this one-of-a-kind girl a little bit of time and a whole lotta love, and she`ll be the best dog you`ve ever had!Sally is:- unknown with kids, supervised interactions required- unknown with cats, slow intros required- open to dogs pending successful intros

Story
Hi! My name is Cookie 🍪🤍 I’m a 1-year-old female Border Collie mix, about 15kg — a lovable medium-sized girl with a bright spirit and an even brighter heart. When I was still very young, I was placed on a euthanasia list. But someone chose not to give up on me. I was rescued and spent a month at a training center for evaluation — and the result was summed up in one word: “Perfect.” ✨ Now I’m living safely in a foster home, waiting for my forever family. My biggest charm? My social skills! I get along beautifully with other dogs, especially smaller ones. I’m playful and energetic, but also thoughtful — I actually prefer playing with dogs smaller than me and adjust my energy to match theirs. I don’t just play… I play kindly. 🐶💕 I love running, playing, and burning off my energy with friends. I prefer pottying outdoors, and after a good play session, I’m happy and satisfied. If you already have a dog at home, I think we could be the perfect team! When I first meet new people, I might look a tiny bit shy. But don’t worry — it doesn’t take long for me to warm up. I’ll gently approach, open my heart, and show you my sweet, affectionate side. I have a quiet kind of charm that sneaks up on you. 🤍 Because I’m still young, I’m happiest when I’m not alone. I truly thrive when I have a dog friend to run and play with. A life where I can share my days — that’s the life that fits me best. My second chance at life saved me. Now I’m hoping for a life where I’m never alone again. A home filled with warmth, family, and maybe even a furry best friend. Will you be my forever family? 🐾💕

Story
Hi, my name is McCall 🖤🤍 I’m a 2-year-old Border Collie boy weighing 18kg, and most people notice my eyes first. One shines bright blue, and the other is deep and dark — my special odd eyes make everyone look twice. But I hope one day, when you look at me, you’ll see more than just my appearance. I hope you’ll see my heart, too. Before rescue, my life was not very kind. I spent a long time tied to a short leash, without the freedom to run, play, or simply be a happy young dog. I didn’t receive the love and care every dog deserves. But somehow, even after everything, I still love people very much. Being with humans is my favorite thing in the world. I love when people play with me, talk to me, and spend time with me. Throw a ball for me, run around with me, or simply laugh with me, and you’ll see my whole face light up. I don’t just want toys or treats — I want connection. I watch people closely, respond to their emotions, and get so excited when someone gives me attention and love. I also enjoy making dog friends and playing with them. I’m naturally social, cheerful, and friendly, so I usually fit in well wherever I go. Because I’m a Border Collie, I’m a very smart boy. I learn quickly, notice patterns fast, and pay close attention to people and my surroundings. I’m happiest when I can use both my body and my brain. Training, games, learning routines, and communicating with my family are things that truly make me feel fulfilled. But I should be honest with you too — I have a lot of energy! I’m still young, and I love to run, explore, and stay active. A short walk alone probably won’t be enough for me. I dream of a family who enjoys adventures, outdoor time, play sessions, and teaching me new things. If you love spending time with your dog instead of simply having a dog beside you, we might be perfect for each other. There’s something important you should know: I’ve never really experienced normal family life before. Living inside a home, learning routines, waiting calmly alone, understanding house manners — these are all new things for me. Sometimes I may get excited, curious, or make little mistakes while I learn. But I promise I’m trying my best. I’m not a “difficult” dog. I’m simply a dog who is finally getting the chance to learn what love and family feel like. With patience, guidance, and kindness, I know I can become an incredible companion. Once, I could only watch the world from the end of a short chain. Now, I’m waiting for the chance to run freely, feel safe, and belong to someone forever. Maybe my odd eyes are special… but what I really hope you’ll love is my warm heart, my happy spirit, and how much I want to share my life with you. I’ll be waiting for my forever family. Maybe it’s you. 🖤🤍

Story
Meet Max, a lovable, energetic boy with a wiggly personality and plenty of affection to share!Max is a friendly, social guy who loves being around people and is always excited for an opportunity to get outside and explore. He enjoys sniffing around, going for walks, and discovering everything the world has to offer. He`s also been enjoying his outings with volunteers, showing off his fun loving personality along the way!Max has lots of enthusiasm for life and can sometimes get a little carried away with excitement, leading to jumping or playful mouthing. He`s still learning how to channel all that energy and would benefit from a family who can provide positive reinforcement training, enrichment, and consistent routines. Max also loves having his people nearby and may need some support learning to feel comfortable when left alone.With his affectionate nature, playful spirit, and love for adventure, Max is looking for a family ready to help him thrive and enjoy all the wonderful things life has to offer!A little bit about Max:Kids: Older children (16+) who can understand and respect canine body language is recommended. All interactions should be carefully supervised by an adult.Cats/Small Animals: No cats in the home due to a reported history of chasing and biting a resident cat.Dogs: Unknown history with other dogs. Potential to live with another dog pending a successful dog-to-dog introduction.
