Story

Ava is absolutely AMAZING with kids and people of all ages. She loves humans more than anything and craves deep connection — she wants to be as close to her person as possible at all times. If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you completely, Ava is your girl.She is fully potty trained, rides well in the car, and would thrive in a home with a fully fenced, secure yard where she can burn energy and then come inside for cuddles.Ava cannot live with cats due to high prey drive and is recommended as the only dog in the home. While she has had one carefully built dog friendship, she generally has a strong aversion to other dogs. She will also need some continued work on leash skills.Ava deserves a loving home that will embrace her big heart and give her the connection she craves.October 11, 2026, 5:03 pm

Story

Meet Our Resilient Beauty: Foxy Stop and take a look at those ears! This stunning Australian Shepherd mix is quite simply one of the most beautiful dogs we have ever had in our care. With her unique merle coat, expressive amber eyes, she turns heads everywhere she goes. She is a visually striking dog, but her journey is what truly touches our hearts. Foxy is 3.5 years old and weighs 42 pounds. The Truth Behind the Beauty The sad reality of shelter life is that some dogs get left behind. Foxy has been waiting with us for much too long. When she first arrived, she was a standard, slightly energetic pup, but since than has withdrawn a bit around new people. She is one of our few dogs that we have in boarding and even though she hangs out with 20 dogs and is great with them. She’s become shy around new people, but loves the workers. She is not a "plug-and-play" companion; she is a rehabilitation project wrapped in gorgeous fur. Because of this, she MUST be adopted into a home with at least one other confident, social dog. She needs a furry mentor to model good behavior, show her that the humans are safe, and remind her how to play. Her Perfect Person Foxy requires a very specific type of home. This isn't a placement for a first-time dog owner or someone with a bustling, loud household. Her new owner must possess the following: • Patience of a Saint: You will not get a "cuddle bug" on day one, or perhaps even day 5. She needs you to be her quiet, steady rock while she decompresses. • Zero Expectations: You must love her for who she is right now and celebrate tiny victories along the way • Time and Dedication: Training and bonding will require daily commitment to positive reinforcement and building trust at her extremely slow pace. • A Secure Yard: Because she is easily spooked, a fully secure fence is a must for her safety or a secure apartment. Let's Help Her Write a New Chapter We know that this is a lot to ask of an adopter. But we also know that for the right person, helping a shy dog like Foxy blossom is one of the most rewarding experiences! If you would like to meet Foxy, please fill out an application at https://muttsinneed.org/apply/adopt
