Story
  Meet Mini-Coop — the tiny adventurer with a heart as big as his beautiful blue eyes!  Just like the iconic little car he's named after, Mini-Coop is compact, eye-catching, and built for adventure. This adorable Red Merle boy was the runt of his litter of ten, but don’t let his size fool you—Mini-Coop is full of personality, curiosity, and quiet determination. Born on April 13th to a stunning, sweet-natured Blue Merle Aussie momma with piercing blue eyes, Mini-Coop has inherited her gentle spirit and her striking good looks. While we don’t know who dad was, this litter is showing strong Aussie traits, and Mini-Coop is no exception. Mini-Coop may start off shy and reserved, but once he knows he can trust you, his affection shines through. He’s playful and sweet, often busy exploring the world around him with wide-eyed wonder. Whether he's sniffing out new corners of the backyard or testing the doggie door with growing confidence, this little guy is smart and eager to learn. He’s doing great with his potty training and loves having a routine, especially when it involves time spent outside discovering the great outdoors.   What makes Mini-Coop truly special is his mix of thoughtful calm and playful energy. He’s not the boldest of the bunch, but he’s incredibly soulful and connected—the kind of puppy who will bond deeply with his forever family. He thrives with gentle guidance, love, and a bit of patience as he comes out of his shell. Because of his love for being outside and exploring, we’re requiring a home with a securely fenced yard and a family that enjoys the outdoors and is committed to helping him grow into the confident, joyful companion he’s meant to be.   Mini-Coop is expected to stay on the smaller side and will make a perfect family dog for those who want a loyal, smart, and stunningly beautiful Aussie mix to grow up with. He’s currently being fostered in Tennessee and will be available to join his forever family in the Northeast on July 11th via our safe and professional transport service.   If you’ve been dreaming of a puppy who’s both tender and adventurous, full of love, and ready to be your loyal sidekick, Mini-Coop is the one. He’s ready for a fresh start, full of hikes, cuddles, and a life where he finally belongs.   Please email ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you’re interested in giving Mini-Coop the forever home he deserves.(Be sure to let us know where you’re located when you reach out!)   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comJune 17, 2025, 12:15 pm

Story
WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Chonq - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! 🐾 Meet Chonq – Ball Enthusiast. Kiss Distributor. Certified Good Boy. Breed: 50% Australian Shepherd, 50% Pit Bull, 100% Love Age: Turning 9 on June 25th, but don’t tell him—he thinks he’s still 3 Weight: A sturdy 66 lbs of snuggly muscle Chonq is the kind of dog who makes you believe in soulmates with fur. He’s housebroken, loyal, smart, and knows that fetch is not a game—it’s a way of life. He will run like a gazelle (a surprisingly fast, wiggly gazelle) after any ball you throw, and bring it back with a look that says, “Again. Immediately.” Raised with love, adventure, and a strong Kong toy game, Chonq was adopted as a tiny pup by his dad and lived a nomadic life of action adventure on the road.  His dad adored him and gave him a life full of hikes, cuddles, toys, and swimming pool cannonballs. Sadly, Chonq lost his person last year to suicide, and while he’s been staying with family, he’s now searching for a forever home—one where his heart, paws, and tennis balls can all rest easy. Ideal Home: - Active human(s) who love walks, adventures, and playing fetch until your arm falls off - Bonus points if you have a pool—this boy lives for swimming - Someone who doesn’t mind kisses… because he’s generous with them Personality Highlights: - Sweet, silly, and full of love - Will wait patiently if left home alone and won’t chew, shred, or protest - Prances like a deer when he’s hunting for his ball 🦌 - Gives kisses like it’s his job (and he’s employee of the month, every month) Chonq's Must-Haves: - Heavy-duty toys only (he’s been known to obliterate lesser toys with joyful enthusiasm) - Room to run and stretch those legs (this guy moves like he’s chasing Olympic gold) - Someone who wants a best friend, not just a dog Good with: ✅ Dogs ✅ Cats ✅ Kids If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a goofy smile, and a heart of gold Chonq is your guy. His bags are packed (with Kong toys and dreams of belly rubs). Are you his forever? If Chonq seems like the perfect fit for you and your lifestyle just stop scrolling and fill out his adoption application. You can find it at haydudeequine.org
