Story
    This is Diego. He's an 11 month old Aussie mix that needs a foster home. He was a "free dog" online and the original owners did not represent him honestly with the new owners. Things are not working out and he needs to be properly placed (after full vetting). He is scheduled dor neuter on Tuesday. We hope to have a foster in place by then. He's great with his people and FEMALE dogs. His behavior around cats is unknown because the family does not have cats. There was a pretty bad fight between Diego and the senior male dog in this family. Since the fight the family has been distrusting of his behavior around the four-year-old as well so to be safe they have kept them separate. This is why he has to go. For this reason, we do not want him fostered with male dogs until he has been vetted and properly evaluated. We also do not feel that he should be placed in a home with young children until vetting and evaluation. He's a beautiful boy and deserves a happily ever after. We can help him find it!! It may well be he just needs his testosterone to be taken care of. Many dogs settle down after neuter and it's never fair to these animals when the original owners do not divulge all the information to the new owners. We feel this is a combination of situations that has just worked against Diego. Foster application can be filled out through this link: https://petstablished.com/foster_form/31711/generic If you fill out a foster application please give our director a heads up as we do not have a volunteer readily responding to applications at this time. It helps us to know that one has been submitted. You may text Aspen at 352-843-6858 ##1357659##

Story
My name is Desmond. I am a purebred Mini Australian Shepherd. I am roughly 10-12lbs and will never get any bigger. I am 8 years old. I have lived with other dogs, cats, and kids and never had any issues. I am shy when meeting new people but once I warm up to you I will ask for all the pets (butt scratches are preferred). I know many tricks sit, lay down, roll over, paw, spin, and jump. I would love a big yard I can run around in and play. As well as someone around a lot of the day as I get lonely.

Story
King is a very sweet and adventurous double Merle. He is almost 7 months old and has a lazy eye. He is kind and very energetic outside and chill inside the house. He loves to explore outside into our wooded areas around the house along with our other dogs. He has a very sweet disposition, but he does love to chew things. We love him very much and want him to go to the best home possible. ❤️

Story
Shayla is almost 7 months old and is current in all her shots. She is a VERY sweet girl and has a good temperament. Sadly, she is DEAF and 3/4 BLIND. She does love playing outside with our other dogs and going into the woodsy areas. She is also a chewer so I do recommend having a good amount of chew toys. I have taught her when she needs to go potty to bark. ((This means she may want to potty at 4 am and will wake you)). But all around she is very loving and wants to cuddle a lot. Would do well in a home with other dogs.We will require that when she goes home with you, you must get her fixed. As we don’t want her to go to a home that will mistreat her. We love her and want the best for her. ❤️
