Story
Meet Schnitzel. He’s a 10-week-old Shepherd/Aussie mix with soft ears, wiggly energy, and a serious love for cuddles. A good Samaritan found him alone at a park, and now he’s ready for a real home — the kind where he doesn’t have to wonder what’s next. Schnitzel is sweet, playful, and very into his people. He loves to snuggle, does well with cats, and is happiest when he’s included in whatever’s going on. He’s still a baby, so he’s learning the world one new thing at a time. A confident dog friend or a patient family would help him build that confidence even more. He is working through some food guarding, which likely comes from not always feeling secure. The upside? He’s already responding well to routine and positive training. With consistency, he’s showing he can relax and trust that his needs will be met. He’s not a “plug-and-play” puppy — he’s a real one. But the person who gives him structure and love now is going to end up with an incredibly loyal, fun, and devoted dog.

Story
Say hello to the beautiful Aussie named Cinderella. Cinder has a history of not being too much of a fan of small dogs and animals. She prefers dogs her own size, and a person to bond with. She is extremely affectionate and intelligent. Cinderella is on the medium end of energy but needs a job to do due to her intelligence. She requires an experienced owner who understands the nature of herding breeds. If you or a rescue you know would like to give Cinderella a chance, please contact us today!

Story
Mr pickles was a rescue, my boyfriend found his wondering when he was about 7 months. He is a very sweet lazy boy. He loves food, any type of food really. He’s good with other dogs. I want to rehome him because he deserves a home where he can get the exercise he needs daily. I am currently pregnant and my boyfriend is gone 5 days out of the week and we are not able to meet his exercise needs. He is crate trained, sleeps inside and hangs in the backyard all day. If interested message me. He does have a bonded pair. Marceline is more educated, prefer for them to be together but is NOT a requirement!

Story
Her name is Marceline, shes an Australian Shepard who looks like a boarder collie, she just turned a year on June 5th! Shes a playful and loving girl. She needs attention. She loves walks and does very good off leash in public spaces. Easy to train knows a few tricks and Is a very loyal loving girl. I love her with all my heart but I reached a point where I could no longer care for her. I work too much and am pregnant so energy levels are low and not enough to maintain her energetic needs. Shes a gentle girl and good with kids. But does require someone who can take her out for daily exercises! I prefer for her to be an only dog or someone with gentle dogs. I have a few other dogs and they bully her. She never fights back just allows the bulling to keep happening.
