Please contact Constance (connibouchard@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Rescued dogImportant Information Please read! If you are interested in me after reading about me, please visit my site, http://www.breederadoptions.org and follow the instructions. The majority of the dogs we rescue, mostly breeder dogs, have lived their entire lives in less-than-ideal conditions so will need to be socialized, house and leash trained. Most have never lived in a house, walked on a leash, had a treat or sat in a lap. For many of them, their feet have never touched the ground after living for years on wire until they arrive at our main facility where they are evaluated, groomed and given vet care. Most of these dogs are not socialized and need to be cornered to be picked up, so are not suitable for people with physical disabilities or suffer from PTSD. They need folks who will make them the center of their world and help them learn to trust before even attempting to train.  Please do not apply if you do not meet the requirements of the dogs we rescue.  However, they will learn with time, love, patience and most of all, commitment. You must have an ample supply of all of these to reap the rewards of watching these very special dogs become your wonderful companion. We state any known health issues, all are altered unless there is a medical reason not to, which we will advise, any known medical issues addressed, are microchipped, are UTD on all vaccines and have been checked out by at least one veterinarian, usually two. We do not guarantee the health of any of our rescued dogs. The dogs we rescue have lived with other dogs all of their lives and most get along with other dogs. We state if they are dog aggressive. We require a permanent, full-time parent. That means you must be able to spend the majority of your time with your new companion to socialize and train. We do not, under any circumstances, place them in homes with young children as they have not been exposed to children, and we do not know how they will react. Please do not waste your time or ours if you are not prepared to adopt within 2 weeks and you are not willing to pick the dog up at its location. Hi! My name is Buddy, and I am a gorgeous Australian Shepherd puppy who was born 1/17/25, and I weigh 25 pounds. I was born with a fused knee and a dislocated hip, but I have learned to get around just fine. My Dogtor advises to let it alone and let me enjoy my life. I am very social and sweet and get along well with other dogs. A calm sibling to play with would be ideal and respectful children over 10 years old would be okay with me.  If you have been waiting for a gorgeous, please ask for me on your application to http://www.breederadoptions.org.

Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Elizabeth, CO *This dog doesn’t belong to ASF and hasn’t been evaluated by ASF.* Meet Rosie! She is an 3 year old Australian Shepherd and weighs 65 lbs. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on shots, but isn’t on heartworm prevention. Rosie is fearful of strangers! She is good with kids and cats! No dogs, due to her reactivity! She is housebroken and crate-trained. Rosie bit a neighbor’s child who walked into their house unexpectedly. She also bit a woman who tried to break up a fight between her dog and Rosie. The owner is surrendering her because she is aggressive towards their smaller pets and strangers. If you think you can provide a great home for Rosie, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions. This fee will be donated to Australian Shepherds Furever for their assistance in placing Rosie.

Story
In Buena Vista: Hi my name is Sven, I am 7 years old and looking for my furever family. I love working from home with my foster, enjoy going to sniff spots and love taking naps. I am the typical Aussie as I follow my foster mom everywhere, protect my house, and love to play. I am very smart and love to snuggle. I need a special type of home and a new family that will continue to help me get past my past training. I was trained inappropriately with a shock collar and I am so nervous when I see another dog as I was shocked for barking to have them back off. I have gotten so much better in my foster home but it has taken a while and a lot of snacks. I need a family that will only use positive training, has a 6 foot privacy fence, and will snuggle with me. I need to be the only pet in the home but I do well with older kids. I love to be active and look forward to finding my furever family. Sven is being fostered in Colorado for Australian Shepherds Furever, we are a 501c3 and are PACFA licensed. Please email asfmtnrep@gmail.com or PM Melissa Taylor for more information. All pups in our care are up to date on vaccines, microchipped,m spayed/neutered and loved. We do home inspection and reference checks. Sven is very obedient and smart, needs someone to call his furever. If interested, please fill out our application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which covers the registration and transfer to Sven's new family. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

Bear is a sweetheart. His owner of 6 years passed and the family put him into the shelter where I found him. He would do great with a couple with or without children. He is very well trained when it comes to basic direction and house trained/disciplined. Not a barker, very sweet. He likes to have distance when it comes to other dogs. I recently became a trucker and cannot take him on the road. He also would not do well with the lack of consistency.

Story
Freya is an amazing, loving dog. She is 4 years old, and I have had her with me since she was 8 weeks old. She has traveled the country with me while I was working as a traveling surgical tech. She loves hikes, fetch, and just playing. With my job, I am not able to give her the attention and exercise she needs. She does not like young children but enjoys playing with other dogs. I am looking to rehome her with her brother, Odin. Both dogs have been to boarding school and are very well behaved. I will not consider rehoming one without the other, as I feel that rehoming them separately would be traumatizing for them. They need a home with someone active, preferably with no children and no other dogs.

Story
I rescued Falkor (the name I gave him) in February 2025 from my local shelter. Upon rescuing him, the shelter did not know much about him aside from the fact he came from a garage. He seems to may have been abused in his past based on his mannerisms. He is a little scared of men but once he gets to know you is a total lover. He is very sweet and fully trained. Falkor has been on planes, trains, and automobiles. He does great on hikes and does not require a leash but when on one, does great. He is very food motivated and would probably love to continue learning new tricks. I unfortunately have started a full time job keeping me away from him. I want him to go to an active home where he will get plenty of love and adventures.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Remy is an approximately 11-month old male border collie mix who has lots of energy and will be your best friend. He follows his foster mom around like a shadow, and he loves walks and long hikes. Remy is a super fast learner: he is learning crate training (a good food puzzle helps), and he has made incredible progress in just a few days. Remy has been outfitted with a harness that keeps him on track on walks, and he’s already learned his name and will sit on command. Remy would do great with another dog or by himself, but cats are just too much fun to chase, so unfortunately, no feline roommates. He’ll benefit from continued training and should make quick progress once he gets started.Please contact Remy`s foster mom, Holly, at hshick@gmail.com to inquire about Remy or set up a visit. Please allow up to 24 hours for Holly to respond.

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I am 60 pounds of sleek, shiny, mostly black awesomeness! Hi! I’m Hobbs. I love to run and play. I also enjoy relaxing on the couch, next to your favorite chair, or by your feet. I’m a good dog with puppy energy. I thrive on routine and relax when things are calm and quiet. I'm very smart and love to learn! I'd do well in a home with older children. General Socialization Notes: I am super smart and very sensitive too. I learn quickly and am eager to please. I don’t need to be kenneled. I won’t chew your shoes. If I’m really stressed, I might chew up some of my toys. I’ll bring you any squeakers I pull out in exchange for a treat. I’m a bit reactive on leash especially around distractions. Rabbits, or rocks that look like rabbits, are too big of distractions for me. I definitely walk better if I’m somewhere they are not. I get really loud in the car at first - too excited. We are working on these things and I am willing to learn. Right now I have neighbor dogs that bark at me and jump at my fence. That upsets me but if my foster mom comes out with me, I try to ignore them but sometimes it's a little challenging. I love praise almost as much as treats though. I’m a little timid. The wind scares me. Loud noises too. I am getting better. I like to go someplace I feel safe or be next to a safe person who reassures me when I’m nervous. That makes me feel so much better. The vacuum and I do not get along. The lawnmower is no better. I'm willing to work on that. Does Hobbs like other animals? I’ve been living with 2 older dogs about my size. I would like a home with a dog around my age and size to play with me. I’d be fine as your only dog too if I get lots of attention. No cats or small pets. Certainly no rabbits! Does Hobbs like children? I think I would love children who are not too little. Maybe teenagers or near teens. Someone to play with me. I live with a disabled young man and I have learned how to be very careful and gentle with him. I even let my foster mom know when he needs her. Favorite Toys: I like a variety of toys. A tug toy, something I can shake if you’re not in a tug mood. Stuffed toys don’t last long. Squeaker balls are my favorite! I’ll put them right in your lap so you can toss them across the room for me. That’s my favorite game. I love to leap up and catch them. I’m really very good at it. I’m AMAZING at catching a ball tossed for me and bringing it right back to your lap. I like to play that game a lot! I’ve even learned how to take turns with my foster sister with catch in the house. I’m better at it than she is! Ideal Forever Home: My ideal forever home is one with a pretty big yard and some indoor floor space to play too. I’d love a dog around my size and age who will play with me. I would also be fine as your only dog. I do like getting all of the attention. A 6 foot privacy fence is a must. If you’re looking for a best friend who is smart, sweet, loyal, and playful, I’m your guy!

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
My current Mom tells me I am a stunning Border Collie/German Shepherd mix with the brains, heart, and energy to match my good looks. I am full of playful energy but already showing the loyalty and intelligence of my working dog breeds. I love snuggling, playing and being joyful. I am also VERY intuitive and I will come to you when you are anxious and upset and will put my paw on you or lay next to you to calm you. I am very good with young children. I do need time meeting new people so I need patience. General Socialization Notes: I would love to train with my humans! I am learning to tolerate loud noises (vacuum) and things that move quickly. Also, I do jump on you when you return home so I'll need to work on that. I'm smart and I am treat motivated! I am a bit unsure with new people so I need time to warm up. Does Milo like other animals? I may do best as an only dog or may do well with a calm dog. Does Milo like children? I do very well with young children. I can be very gentle but I have been known to 'herd' them so I'd need humans that understand that. Favorite Toys: I love steak bones, tug-of-war, chasing small balls around the floor, and my stuffy toys. Ideal Forever Home: I'd do best in a home where my humans are willing to train with me. I'd also love to be in a family that likes adventures. I am a higher energy pup so I need outlets for my energy. I'd be fine as an only dog where I can get all the cuddles and snuggles.
