Story
Meet Jolene 💛 Jolene is an almost 3-year-old purebred Australian Shepherd who is incredibly sweet with people and loves children. She is fully house-trained, affectionate, loyal, and a true joy to be around. Rehoming her is heartbreaking, but we are choosing safety and love for everyone involved. Jolene has developed territorial behaviors with other dogs in her space. This began in our backyard after exposure to aggressive neighbor dogs and has increased over time due to major life changes in our home. She does great with other dogs in neutral spaces like walks, parks, and dog parks — the issue is only in spaces she considers hers. She has never shown aggression toward humans. With young children and another large dog in our home, we are concerned about stress and safety. Jolene would truly thrive in a single-dog home where she can feel secure and be the center of attention. She is not a problem dog — just a wonderful dog who needs the right environment to thrive. 💛

Story
Bernie is a sweet, high-energy boy who needs a family ready to give him lots of love and attention. He is a purebred Australian Shepherd with a temperament typical of the breed. He enjoys playing, going on walks, riding in the car, and solving puzzles. Bernie does experience significant separation anxiety, which can lead to destructive or reactive behaviors. He often follows his owners from room to room and prefers to nap as close to his people as possible. He is crate trained and knows the commands sit and come. Bernie attempts to play with our cats, though his play can be too rough. He has bitten a few guests in our home, which we believe is related to protective behavior. He currently spends much of the day in a crate due to our full-time work schedules and would do best with a family that can be home more often. Bernie is taking anxiety medication, and we are actively working with him to reduce his separation anxiety.
