Story
Introducing Mikey! He is very sweet but very shy. He is thought to be a mini aussie or border collie mix who only weighs 35 pounds and is 1 year 5 months old. He will need someone who will have the patience to earn his trust, he will quickly be the best friend you could ever ask for. When you look in his eyes you'll see that he really want to just snuggle in. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. Mikey is crate trained and is working on potty training. He is great with other dogs and loves to play with them. Due to his skittish nature Mikey does require a securely fenced yard. Mikey is neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, current on vaccines and flea/tick/heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is only $300.

Story
Scout He is 3yr old. GSD/mini Aussie mix. We've had him as a foster for almost 2yrs. Looking for a special home with someone experienced with reactive dogs. He would take time to bond but once he does he is a very lovey, loyal, and protective of his person as GSD and Aussies can be. He knows many commands and I have no doubt he has the potential for much more! He has also been trained to wear a muzzle for safety. He is terrified of being crated but does good left out. He is trained around poultry and has been in a home with older kids, small dogs, and cats. HOWEVER he has shown EXTREME reactivity to other dogs. I tried to implement the bubble theory in training but our neighborhood is not conducive for Scout and he has not shown improvement. Professional trainer assessment agreed he is not fearful reactive but dominate reactive. I am only looking for an experienced home with a fenced in yard with privacy. No dogs and no kids! He is a special case but he is an amazing dog!

Story
Scoob is a 7-month-old Aussie mix who is full of youthful energy and enthusiasm for life. He’s house trained and enjoys having the freedom to choose his favorite sleeping spot around the house rather than being crated. Scoob is a playful, active boy who loves running in the yard, going for walks, chewing on a good bone, and entertaining himself with toys. He would thrive in a home that enjoys an active lifestyle and can help him burn off his energy in healthy, positive ways. Scoob does well with other large dogs and would love a canine friend who can keep up with his playful spirit. Because he has a strong prey drive, a home without cats or small animals is recommended. His energy and size also mean he’s best suited for a home with older children, as he can accidentally knock over little ones when he’s excited. A securely fenced yard is ideal for Scoob since he loves outdoor play and prefers not to potty on a leash or tie-out. Scoob is still very much a puppy and will benefit from continued training, structure, and patience as he grows into the great dog he’s meant to be. With the right environment, plenty of exercise, and guidance, Scoob will make a fun, loyal companion for an active home ready to embrace his happy, energetic personality. His minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
