Story

Zeke is a great and loving dog. My wife adopted him when he was a young puppy, and he has been a part of our family for 10 years! He has some anxiety issues, which have caused him to become a little snappy with most strange dogs, though he does occasionally meet friends he likes to play with, and has gotten along fine with our other dog for the last 5 years. He takes anxiety meds daily, which seem to really help him. He loves people, but is being chased around our house by our 2 year old toddler, and because of this spends almost all his time outside. He has never growled or snapped at her, but we don't feel comfortable with how much he does not like being around her. He is getting older, and occasionally has a small limp that the vet diagnosed as mild arthritis. Despite this he LOVES walks, and frequently comes with us on hikes. He loves playing in water and snow, but really hates thunderstorms. He really likes meeting new people and trying and get them to scratch his fave spot.

Story

#### Tipping the scales at 26 pounds, Cleo is a stunning 3 year old Miniature Australian Shepherd Mix with bright blue, soulful eyes. She has recently gone to a foster home, and her foster mom says she is just delightful. She has become quite a fan of soft, fluffy beds and is experimenting with these things called "toys". She is fiercely loyal to her foster mom, following her around the house and looking to her for bravery when she is uncertain. Though quite shy with strangers, Cleo has demonstrated her potential to bond very strongly with familiar humans. She even plays with her favorite humans outside: play bowing, zooming, and romping all around with a smile on her face! This sweet girl is so ready to be around her forever family.Cleo can be successful with other dogs with a slow introduction, but she would also be content to be your only pup. She has recently learned how to walk on a leash and enjoys sniffing and exploring the outside world. With practice, we think she could blossom into a wonderful hiking buddy. She will still require a home with a 5ft fence to keep her safe as she can be a flight risk when she is spooked. Cleo needs a patient and calm adult-only household who will allow her to settle in at her own pace. She is very cautious but has made significant progress in the last few months. We are confident she will continue to blossom in her perfect home. If you would like to meet this precious girl, please apply at NMDR.org.- - - - - -Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization. As a result, there is often an adjustment period when learning about life as a family pet. We typically do not adopt to homes with young children. Homes with older children will be considered on an individual basis. Common skills such as house training and leash walking will often take extra time. Patience, understanding and a gentle hand are a must. The great news is, many of these dogs come around with patience and being a part of their rehabilitation is an extremely rewarding experience.

Story

Meet Millie, a 27 pound girl! Though shy with new people, Millie blossoms into a social butterfly with people she trusts. She excitedly play bows and does the most adorable zoomies around her familiar human friends, grinning and hopping around joyfully. She can also be seen wagging her rear and tossing around a toy from time to time. Millie does well with other dogs and is comforted by their presence. Though she prefers they respect her personal space while she gets to know them, she becomes a total goofball and is very playful once she's comfortable with another dog. Millie would do best in a home with a canine sibling to help her adjust to her new life.Because she can be skittish at first, Millie would do best in a home with a fenced yard. We recommend a home with no young children as she prefers a quiet, calmer environment. Millie will thrive in a patient home with another confident dog. She has so much joy in her heart and lots of love to give to her forever family!If you would like a chance to be Millie's family and watch her blossom, please apply at NMDR.org.- - - -Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization.

Story

Hi there! I'm Everett, a 26-pound male Australian Shepherd. I might be a little shy at first, but once I warm up to you, I'll happily approach you for some attention. Treats are the way to my heart, and I'll be your best friend if you have some to share.I enjoy the company of other calm dogs and prefer to stay away from the high-energy ones. I'm a pretty chill fellow who just wants to hang out with a new friend. I've made a great transformation since my first grooming. When I came in, I was extremely matted and in pain, but after being groomed, my personality truly blossomed. I walk on a leash freely now and feel much more confident and happy. You'll know I'm excited by my joyful butt wiggles!Are you ready to be my new best friend?

Hi, I'm Whisper, a 34-pound female Australian Shepherd. As my name suggests, I'm a bit shy at first, preferring to stay calm and quietly investigate my new surroundings, but I warm up quickly to people and would spend all day getting pets if I could!I have a gentle demeanor and enjoy exploring my environment at a leisurely pace. When I went to the groomer, I was fantastic and felt so much better after having my mats removed. It was like a weight lifted off me, and I felt more comfortable and happy.I'm not just a pretty face-I'm a sweet soul who would love to leave a whisper in your heart, bringing you joy and companionship for the rest of my life. I thrive in calm, peaceful environments where I can feel secure and loved.
