Meet Stevie 2-year-old Australian Shepherd | Female   Stevie is a 48 lb sweet, sensitive Aussie looking for a calm, understanding home where she can truly settle in and shine.   Here’s what we know about this pretty girl:     •    Knows commands: off, sit, stay, down, and up (smart cookie )     •    Does great in multi-dog environments and enjoys canine companionship     •    Has separation anxiety, so she’ll do best with someone who is home most of the day     •    Timid with strangers and needs time to warm up     •    Looking for a home with no children under 12   Stevie would thrive in a patient, adult-focused home that understands her need for routine, reassurance, and gentle introductions. With the right person, she’s the kind of dog who will form a deep, loyal bond and be an incredible companion.   If you’re experienced with herding breeds or anxious pups and have the time to give her the stability she needs, Stevie might just be your girl &#226&#156&#168 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 4:27 pm

Bublé – The Loyal Heartthrob with a VIP Guest List Looking for a dog who's handsome, loyal, smart and house-trained? Say hello to Bublé – the total package with a dash of mystery. This two-year-old shepherd mix is the perfect size—not too big, not too small. He’s athletic enough to be your running buddy, but equally happy to chill on the couch for a Netflix binge. He’s perfectly behaved in the house, walks like a dream on leash, and gets along fabulously with both dogs and cats. So what’s the catch? Bublé’s not big on strangers. He’s a “small circle, big loyalty” kinda guy. If you have people over often, he’s happiest tucked away in another room—no guilt necessary. He just prefers slow, respectful introductions and isn’t looking to host parties anytime soon. If you’re someone who values loyalty, quiet companionship, and a dog who gives 110% to his people, Bublé might be your soulmate. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now and let Bublé charm his way into your heart. Apply to adopt at https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LUVR/dog All of our adoptable rescues have a clean bill of health (unless otherwise stated), are spayed/neutered, vaccinated (age-appropriately), tested (FeLV/FIV for cats over 8 months of age, HW for dogs over 6 months of age), current on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. This is all included in their adoption fee that goes in as a donation to help us cover their medical costs and continue to help other animals in need. Any questions, concerns and suggestions, please feel free to contact us at ALDR@animalluvrs.org.

Story
Meet Rosie 🌹 Rosie is a 10-year-old, 38 lb Australian Shepherd with a gentle, sensitive soul looking for a calm, patient home. She forms a deep bond with her person and is happiest when she feels safe and close by your side. She is housebroken and currently working on leash and crate training. When frightened, Rosie may pull hard on the leash trying to get away, so she’ll need an adopter experienced with leash work or willing to work with a trainer. She is making great progress and gaining confidence every day. Rosie can be sensitive around men and will need slow, respectful introductions. She shows interest and excitement toward smaller dogs from a distance (not formally tested yet) and can adjust to a slightly larger calm dog. She does best with gentle, relaxed dogs, not ones that are overly energetic or in her face. A secure fenced yard is strongly preferred, ideally with some privacy to help her feel safe while outside. Rosie will still need to stay on a leash in the yard, as she can become nervous and try to bolt. This safe space will help her continue building confidence. Rosie can be a bit picky with food (she does best with wet food or meat mixed in with her dry food), but she always eats when she likes it. Rosie will be a project dog, but for the right, dog-savvy person, she is an incredibly rewarding companion. She’s looking for someone patient, understanding, and willing to let her set the pace, who will cherish the quiet, loyal bond she has to offer. 🌸•🌸•🌸•🌸•🌸•🌸•🌸•🌸•🌸 Note from Shelter: Rosie is a 10-year-old, 38 lb spayed female who is heartworm negative and was owner surrendered when her owner could no longer care for her. It appears Rosie lived a very sheltered life prior to arriving at the shelter and had never been walked on a leash. Since intake, Rosie has been extremely fearful and shut down in the kennel environment, often trembling, avoiding eye contact, and freezing when approached. She frequently refuses to walk on leash and will need to be carried to quieter spaces. Despite her fear, Rosie consistently allows handling, petting, and medical care without any signs of aggression. She remains gentle and tolerant even during stressful situations. When placed in a quiet office setting with familiar dogs from her previous home, Rosie shows encouraging signs of comfort and social connection. She seeks out the other dogs, choosing to curl up beside them and rest, and will cautiously explore the room once she feels safe. As she becomes more comfortable, her body softens and the trembling subsides. Rosie is a sensitive, gentle senior who appears deeply overwhelmed by the shelter environment but finds reassurance in calm canine companionship. She would greatly benefit from a patient rescue that can provide a quiet home, time to decompress, and gentle guidance to help her build confidence and feel safe again.

Story
Scout is a LOVER! He wants to keep his bonded person in sight at all times! He does not understand the concept of Personal Space! Definitely a Velcro dog AFTER you earn his trust. Scout needs someone who is breed specific experienced. He will require a few meet and greets before you take him home. He needs the best opportunity to succeed and that includes meeting him multiple times so he can get to know you and you can earn his trust. He is crate trained. He will go into the crate quickly at meal times now! In the mornings, he is very excited to see me and Jumps around in the crate and barks. He does settle down quickly He needs to be taught it ALL…manners, how to play with toys, which is obvious he never has.😢 The good news is he likes treats, so there is food motivation! He is stand offish to strangers in the house and growls. He is wonderful with my two dogs! He has shown no aggression to them. Loves them. Plays with them! My cat he is curious about, he sits next to her and watches her. When she jumps down, he follows her, no chasing. HE IS SMART. With patience, positive reinforcement and consistency Scout is going to be an AMAZING pet! I believe he would do great with someone who works from home or is home more often than not. Whoever is the lucky person to adopt him, will have a best friend! You will just need to be patient while he learns to trust you❤️
