Story
Meet Foxy. She truly does look like a little fox — with a delicate face that hints at Australian Shepherd & Cattle Dog, a slender frame, a stunning reddish-golden coat, and the fluffiest tail. But it’s her gentle spirit that stays with you. Foxy is sweet and deferential with every dog she meets. She wags her tail every single time someone looks her direction, as if she’s still surprised kindness might be meant for her. She’s learning that indoor living can be safe and comforting. She’s doing wonderfully with house training when given frequent breaks, and she’s slowly discovering that leash walks can actually be enjoyable. She’s only around a year old, but somehow already carries the quiet wisdom of an old soul. Sometimes that happens when life asks too much of you too soon. Foxy was found wandering down the middle of a remote two-lane highway with her best friend Zander, a male pit bull, beside her. No shoulder. Cars flying by. The fact that neither of them were struck is nothing short of a miracle. And the fact that a compassionate couple happened to be driving by at exactly the right moment feels like pure serendipity. Maybe for the first time in her life, someone stopped for Foxy. Whatever Foxy’s past held, it did not break her softness. It only made her quieter, gentler, more grateful for every small kindness. And now? Her life is about to get a whole lot better. If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   ##2730295##

Story
Meet Jewel — a little gem with a sparkle you can’t miss This fluffy, happy 6-month-old pup is as beautiful as her name suggests. We’re not quite sure what breeds came together to create her (a little mystery makes her even more special!), but one thing is certain — she is absolutely adorable and full of love She resembles a mini australian shepherd and maybe pappillon. At just 14 pounds, Jewel is likely to stay on the smaller side, making her the perfect compact companion for just about any lifestyle. She’s happy, affectionate, and brings a light, joyful energy wherever she goes. The kind of pup who greets you with a wagging tail and a bright spirit that instantly lifts your mood Jewel is still young and ready to grow alongside her forever family — learning, exploring, and soaking up all the love life has to offer. If you’re looking for a sweet, fluffy best friend who will shine by your side, Jewel might just be your perfect match If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $475 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   ##2727459##

Story
Looking for a new home for my very timid Australian shepherd. We are not the right fit for her. She needs quiet and a single female is preferred. She is 9 years old. We got her from someone that had rescued her from the shelter. She was in a hoarding breeding situation before that so she hides and is afraid of everything. I love her dearly, but my home is loud and chaotic. If you think you are a good fit please message me or comment here. No judgement or crappy comments please.

Story
Tobin is a sweet, loyal girl looking for the right forever home. She forms deep bonds with her people and loves being close to her people. Once she settles in, she’s affectionate, devoted, and happiest spending time with her family whether that’s relaxing at home, going for walks, or just being near her favorite person. She has had training and responds well to structure and consistency. She’s smart, eager to connect, and thrives when she feels secure and understood. Tobin would do best as the only dog in the home. She struggles with resource guarding around other dogs and is much more comfortable when she doesn’t have to share her space with another pet. On walks, she can sometimes be reactive toward other dogs, but has had training to handle this. Her ideal home is one that understands dog behavior and will appreciate the loyal companion she truly is.

Story
Colfax is a sweet dog but a little shy at first. She is used to getting a lot of love and attention. Ever since we had our daughter we had not been able to give her the same level of attention which causes some jealousy between Colfax and our daughter. We have been trying to get Colfax to adjust and bond with our daughter for the last 2 years to no avail. We would love to find someone who has more time and attention to devote to Colfax. The ideal home would have no kids so she could get the same level of attention as did were given before.Colfax has slowed down quite a bit in the last few years. A few years ago Colfax sustained a back injury when she was playing our other dog and they collided with each other. As a result, Colfax does need to be given occasional oral steroids when she has flares up that causes her to be stiff. A few days of rest and she’s back to herself again. Colfax is a great dog and it breaks my heart that she doesn’t get along with my daughter.

Story
Cora is a happy, funny, and incredibly sweet puppy who seems to win over every person and dog she meets. With her striking one blue eye and loving personality, she quickly becomes the star of any walk or outing and she soaks up every bit of attention along the way. Like a true Aussie, Cora has a fun, energetic side and loves getting outside for walks and adventures. She’s always excited to explore and would happily keep going as far as you’d like. After she gets her energy out though, she’s more than ready to crash on the couch and snuggle up as close as possible to her people. She loves being near her humans and would thrive in a home where someone is around often, especially a work-from-home household. Cora is also incredibly smart and eager to learn. She’s very food motivated, making training fun and rewarding, and she’s already making great progress with basic commands. She sleeps through the night in her crate, is learning that her crate is a safe and cozy space, and is almost fully potty trained. She’s also discovering how fun toys can be and is currently teaching herself how to play ball without a partner by throwing it up into the air and pouncing soon after.  Cora is the kind of dog who brings joy wherever she goes. Sweet, affectionate, social, and full of personality. She would make an amazing addition to a lucky home looking for a loyal companion, adventure buddy, and world-class cuddler all in one. ##2736215##

Say hello to Beanie Baby — beauty, brains, and a whole lot of heart This gorgeous 2-year-old Border Collie mix is the total package. With her striking looks and bright, expressive eyes, she’s definitely a head-turner — but it’s what’s inside that really makes her shine Beanie Baby brings all those classic Border Collie traits we love: incredibly smart, eager to learn, loyal to her people, and always ready for a little fun. She’s the kind of dog who will thrive with someone who enjoys engagement — think walks, games, training, and being part of the action. She’s not just along for the ride… she’s your enthusiastic co-pilot In her previous home, Beanie Baby lived with a cat and she currently lives with one in her foster home so she is cat friendly. (of course, every cat has their own opinion, so proper introductions are key!). She’s adjusting to this new chapter after her owner had to move out of town and couldn’t take her along — through it all, she’s remained the sweet, loving girl everyone adores. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who’s as clever as she is beautiful, Beanie Baby might just be your perfect match If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   ##2727412##
