Story
Meet Selena—a 1.5 year old Australian Shepherd mix with a heart as sweet as her personality and just the right amount of spunk to keep life interesting. She’s the kind of dog who brings a fun, playful energy without being overwhelming. Selena is crate trained and walks nicely on a leash, making her a great companion whether you’re out exploring or just settling into your daily routine. Selena would do best in a home with larger dogs who can match her play style and energy. Like many herding mixes, she does have some prey drive, so she’ll need a home without small animals and with someone who understands how to guide her. She’s at that perfect age—past the tiny puppy phase but still young, eager, and ready to learn. With the right home, Selena is going to be an incredibly loyal, fun, and loving companion. Adoption fee includes the following: Spay/Neuter Rabies Vaccination Distemper / Parvo Vaccines (includes series of 3 for puppies) Bordetella Microchip with prepaid lifetime registration Deworming ##2394426##

Story
Meet your new adventure buddy and cuddle connoisseur! This 3-year-old Australian Shepherd is the total package—brains, beauty, and a heart of gold. With his stunning coat and movie-star looks, don’t be surprised when strangers stop you on every walk just to compliment him (he’ll soak it up, of course). He’s potty trained, walks like a gentleman on a leash, and has proven himself to be a trustworthy housemate when left home alone—no chaos, no destruction, just patiently waiting for his favorite humans to return. While the crate isn’t his favorite spot right now, he’s been doing great with a little more freedom.  This sweet boy loves everyone he meets and is always ready to lean in for a snuggle session. He’s currently living peacefully with a female dog and would likely enjoy a friendly canine companion. At his core, he’s a gentle, loving soul who’s just waiting for his forever family to give all his affection to. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who’s equal parts adventure partner and couch companion, he might just be your perfect match  Adoption fee includes the following: Spay/Neuter Rabies Vaccination Distemper / Parvo Vaccines (includes series of 3 for puppies) Bordetella Microchip with prepaid lifetime registration Deworming ##2718746##

HOMEOWNERSHIP REQUIRED! Meet Deimos (aka Saul), you loyal best friend in the making! Are you searching for a sweet soul to complete your family? Deimos is a 4-year-old, 60-pound bundle of love who’s ready to find his forever home. This handsome guy is fully potty trained, knows how to use a doggie door, and has mastered his basic commands — sit, stay, heel, lay down, come, and shake — thanks to a comprehensive board-and-train program. He’s crate trained, calm when left alone, and sleeps soundly through the night (especially if snuggling is involved — his favorite!). Deimos has all the fun, joyful energy of a puppy without the pesky puppy habits. Silly? Wiggly? Bouncy? Absolutely. Chewing and constant jumping? Not this gentleman. He’d love to be your adventure buddy on hikes and outings, but he’s just as happy to cuddle on the couch or serve as your very handsome co-worker during Zoom meetings. He’ll brighten your days with his happy thumping tail, curious fascination with animals on TV, gentle head nudges, and soft paw taps asking for pets. Deimos is friendly with his foster brother and could live with another dog, especially a confident one who can help show him the ropes. He can be a bit apprehensive about certain dogs he sees out in the world, so structured introductions and a supportive, confident handler will help him continue building positive experiences. He adores people and bonds deeply, though he prefers a thoughtful introduction. When meeting someone new, he just asks for a few minutes to observe and choose when he’s ready for affection — and once he decides, he’s all in. Given a little space and structure, he quickly shows just how loving and trusting he truly is. Deimos will thrive in a home that provides consistency, gentle leadership, and lots of love. In return, he’ll give unwavering loyalty, companionship, and endless heart-melting moments. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to start his next chapter. If you’re ready for a devoted companion who will be as loyal to you as you are to him, apply today to meet this true gem.

Story
Meet Andy Andy is a striking 11-month-old Australian Shepherd mix with a beautiful red coat, bright white markings, and all the intelligence and loyalty you’d expect from his breed mix. Raised on acreage in a large pack setting, Andy grew up in a busy rural environment surrounded by other dogs, cats, and constant activity, making him incredibly social and well-adjusted with animals. Now settling into foster care, Andy is beginning to learn the structure and routine of home life — and he’s embracing it with his sweet, affectionate personality. He loves people and truly wants to bond with his person, thriving on connection, companionship, and attention. Because Andy has spent his life in a free-roaming ranch-style environment, he will do best with an adopter who understands active, intelligent working breeds and can provide guidance, consistency, and plenty of mental and physical enrichment. He would thrive on acreage, a ranch, or with an active family committed to including him in everyday adventures. Andy can become very attached to his people and is still learning that it’s okay to be alone sometimes, so he may need patience and reassurance as he adjusts to a new home and routine. With consistency and love, he is already showing how eager he is to learn and settle in. Andy is friendly, well-socialized, and has been lovingly handled throughout his life. He’s now ready for a forever home where he can focus on his people and grow into the loyal companion he was always meant to be. ##2714215##

Story
Truffle is about a year old and appears to be a Dutch Shepherd / Australian Shepherd mix. This is a best guess based on her look, size, and behavior, and she really shows traits from both breeds. Dutch Shepherds are known for being highly intelligent, loyal, and driven. They are working dogs at heart, which means they thrive when they have a job to do. They tend to be very people oriented, quick learners, and can be vocal and alert. Australian Shepherds are also extremely smart and energetic, with strong herding instincts. They are playful, affectionate, and tend to bond closely with their people. Aussies often have a natural tendency to manage movement, whether that is other animals, kids, or even adults, and they do best with both physical exercise and mental stimulation. With a mix like this, you get a dog who is: Very intelligent and eager to learn Active and needs consistent exercise Loyal and people focused Likely to be vocal and alert Thrives with structure and engagement Truffle would do best in a home that can match her energy and give her an outlet for both her mind and body. A house with a yard is strongly preferred, as she is not a good fit for apartment living due to her activity level and tendency to be vocal. She is dog friendly and is currently living in a foster home with kids, so she has experience in a family environment. Because of her intelligence and energy, she would do especially well with an active household, someone who enjoys walks, hikes, training, or even dog sports. Overall, Truffle is the kind of dog who will thrive in a home that gives her guidance, consistency, and plenty to do. ##2714176##

Say Hello to Bear!  If you like floofers, Bear is certainly going to command your attenion! At 10 weeks old, Bear is already a showstopper. His gorgeous black-and-tan coat is incredibly soft—so soft, in fact, that he feels more like a bunny than a puppy. Between his fluffy fur, curious eyes, and adorable puppy antics, Bear has mastered the art of stealing hearts. Bear appears to be an Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd/ mix, giving him both looks and brains. While we can't guarantee breed mix, we do expect him to grow into an active, intelligent dog who will enjoy learning, exploring, and spending time with his family. Weighing in at 17 pounds, we expect Bear to be 60 pounds or more. Like any healthy puppy, Bear is curious and eager to please.  He loves to play, investigate new things, and earn your love and attention. He'll need a family committed to continuing his training, socialization, and helping him grow into a confident, well-mannered adult dog. Because Bear is expected to be an active dog, he is not a good fit for apartment living. He would thrive in a home with space to run, play, and enjoy outdoor adventures.   If you would like to adopt Bear, please complete an application at: https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee of $450 includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming, and microchip. ##2724068##
