Story
This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)

Story
Our boy Jarvis is ready to charm and charm he does. He has some beautiful markings that will turn heads for a second look. He comes into rescue as an owner surrender due to no fault of his own. He is committed to finding his ideal family to spend the rest of his days with. Jarvis is a 6-year-old Australian Shepherd, and he weighs around 30 pounds. He is on the small size, but he has a large capacity to love. Jarvis can mingle and hang around other dogs, children and adults. He is always willing to make friends. We do not know how he would be with a cat since he has not had the opportunity to meet a cat since coming into rescue. We do know he will do well with a family that is focused on regular exercise, continued training and lots of socialization. He has a medium energy level and will be a good match for a fairly active family. He is housetrained and currently working on his crate and leash training. With time and practice, Jarvis will be a champion in no time at all. It is important to remember that although Jarvis is housetrained, accidents can occur while adjusting to a new home environment.With changes in his life, Jarvis has his heart in the right place. He is ready to be a part of a family that will cherish and love him. He is not looking back because he will focus on moving forward and all the love that is in store for him.* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Jarvis is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.
