Story

This is Spunky, and she loves to jump! I took her in from a friend who needed to find a new home for her, her original owner could no longer care for her, I’ve had her for a few months but she is about 2 years old now. She didn’t have any shots or papers when I took her in, not spayed. She’s had some inside training with me but is more suited to being outside. Been very happy and friendly with me and my 6yo boy but been difficult with my 16yo girl, not sure how she feels about cats. You got to meet her to know her, I have collar and leash for her and other effects I can provide if you are interested in this adorable girl.

Story

RALPHIE is a 1 year old, 41.5 lbs., male Australian Shepherd mix that came into the Orange County shelter as a stray on 12/16/2025 from the City of Orange. His owner hasn't shown up to claim him and take him home. RALPHIE was brought into the shelter on a catch pole. He was biting the pole, so his mouth was bloody upon intake. Shelter notes say he was more fearful than aggressive. In his kennel, RALPHIE is more interested in treats than toys. He seems to want to engage with staff but is extremely overwhelmed by all the noise and chaos going on around him. On 12/20/2025, RALPHIE was taken out of his kennel: * 12/20/2025: At front of kennel today during morning cleaning. Opened kennel door, RALPHIE laid down and allowed leashing. Opened kennel door wide, dog urinated then dashed out, pausing and freezing in between short bursts of dashing. Noise level of bldg 1 rose significantly after we walked out of kennel, dog continued dashing and displaying increasingly frantic behavior. Able to quickly coax him out of bldg, defecating as we walked. Dog froze and laid down outside of bldg 1, flopping on his side. Leaned against brick wall while slightly crouched ~3ft away sideways to him and allowed him to decompress. After about ~30 seconds, dog glanced at me; I avoided eye contact and kept face parallel to him. Noticed him stand up and crawl towards me. Kept still. Dog then dashed past me and began thrashing on leash, anxious whining, flailing and flipping himself on leash in attempts to remove leash pressure. Used paws to attempt to pull leash away. Attempted to guide hand with him to ease leash pressure, dog continued flipping and flailing. Dog began chewing through leather leash quickly. ACAs saw and quickly opened doors as I walked him back. Dog continued flailing and attempting to chew through leash, noticed several large holes in leash as he chewed. Dog became frantic and dashed towards staff and myself in walkway, unsure if he was charging or attempting to minimize leash pressure. Able to place him back in kennel with leash attached. RALPHIE has displayed moments of curiosity and seemingly affiliative engagement in kennel with staff. However, this behavior does not generalize beyond in kennel. When removed from kennel, RALPHIE demonstrates a marked increase in stress related behaviors, indicating that exposure to the shelter environment exceed his capability to self-soothe and regulate. Attempts at handling out of kennel result in extreme fear responses, including intense fixation on fleeing by: chewing through leather leash, flailing and attempting to pull the leash off, defecating and urinating. Due to RALPHIE'S inability to tolerate routine handling, he will not be considered for public adoption. We are recommending placement with rescue only. ##2622392##

Story

Mabel's Story 🩶🤍🤎 MABEL 🤎🤍🩶 Meet Mabel! This precious little girl is a Miniature American Shepherd (FKA Miniature Australian Shepherd or “Mini Aussie”). 🩷🐾 She is 8 weeks old (DOB 1/3/2026) and currently weighs a little over 3 pounds. Mabel is deaf and will need a loving and patient home that understands the extra care and time required in training a deaf puppy. This beautiful baby is already stealing hearts everywhere she goes. She’s incredibly sweet and gentle. New places and new people make her a little shy or nervous at first but, once she feels safe, she warms up quickly and becomes the biggest little love bug. She enjoys cozy snuggles, exploring at her own pace, and staying close to her person. Her lack of hearing doesn’t slow her down. It just means she experiences the world in a unique and special way. Deaf dogs live full, happy lives but they do require thoughtful and committed homes. Please read the following before submitting an application and understand that these are just some of the commitments you will be making: • Training will be visual-based. (Hand signals, body language, and consistent routines will be key.) • Her safety is critical. She cannot hear dangers like cars, bikes, or someone calling her name. A securely fenced yard and leash use outside of it are non-negotiable. • She can’t hear you approach her so she may startle easily. Especially when touched while sleeping. Gentle and consistent handling can help with this. • Deaf dogs often form incredibly deep bonds because they rely heavily on visual connection with their people. • She will thrive in a home that is patient, structured, and committed to positive reinforcement training. In return, you’ll get a loyal companion who looks at you like you are her whole world. 😍 If you’re ready to put in a little extra effort for a whole lot of extra love, Mabel might just be your perfect match! 🩷 ******************** Mabel has age-appropriate vaccines, is microchipped, and her spay is included and will be done at one our vet clinics around 6 months of age. Preference is given to applicants located within the metro Atlanta area. Applications from outside this area *may* be considered under certain circumstances. Please note that non-local applications will be reviewed only after all local applications have been thoroughly evaluated.
