Story
Hello,This is Lucy. She is a very loving Aussie to people, and indifferent towards cats. She does not get along with any other dogs after being attacked by another one while on a walk. She is about 9 years old.She was given to me whenmy mom no longer wanted her and I was moving across the country. I have since moved again cross country and am no longer able to give her the life she deserves.She does not do well in houses with carpet. This is the only situation that I have struggled with her going potty in the house. When we lived in a place with hardwood or tile we had no issues with her.She is a snuggle bug and is very much the velcro aussie you would expect with always wanting to follow you around. As long as a house is hardwood or tile she has proven to be good with being left to roam the house.She loves stuffed animal toys and to play tug o war with them.

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 the dogs 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. This smart girl has not had one accident in her foster home and is quite chill in the house. Her foster parents leave her free roam at night where she usually chooses to sleep on the sofa or a comfy dog bed. Foxy has been well behaved free roam when her foster parents leave for an hour or two. On leash, Foxy is so gentle. She does get a little interested in a squirrel running past or sometimes birds but is quite easy to walk. She is shy in new situations and takes her time to assess the surroundings. Someone who is willing to give her time and space to settle in will benefit her.  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, loving 6 year old female looking for the right forever home. She forms deep bonds with her people. 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 and eager to connect.Tobin is great with kids but would thrive as the only dog in the home. She struggles with resource guarding around other dogs in her home. Her ideal home is one that will appreciate the loyal and loving companion she truly is.
