Story
I am 30lbs and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $450 Rex is a true-to-his-breed Australian Shepherd with brains, energy, and heart to spare. This handsome boy thrives when he has plenty of attention, activity, and mental stimulation to keep him happy.  He’s a smart pup who already knows commands like sit and stay, and he’s eager to keep learning. Rex would do best with an active home ready to give him the exercise and engagement he craves.  If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent companion who’s always ready for adventure, Rex is your guy! All dogs are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested (if age appropriate), and up-to-date on preventatives at the time of adoption. All household members and any dogs from the household need to be present to be able to adopt. A photo ID will be required at the time of adoption. Appointments are recommended. All applications are considered general. Specific animals are NOT put on hold for adoption. When you visit, our adoption counselors will be able to make suggestions based on the type of pet you are looking for and help you find the best fit for your family. Animal House Shelter cannot guarantee the breeds of the adoptable animals. The animals are posted on the website as the breed or breed mix based on their physical characteristics they most resemble. We also cannot guarantee the ages of our adoptable animals or how large puppies will be when fully grown. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Story
Monty is a male, two-year-old Australian Shepherd. He is approximately 50 lbs., neutered and up to date on all his shots. He is a big love bug, always giving kisses and wagging his tail. A little reserved and quiet - he did not do well in the shelter. After a few days in his new foster home, he is starting to get some pep in his step. Monty is very intelligent and will be easily trained. He would thrive in a home with a large, fenced yard and another welcoming dog. Unfortunately, Monty is not a fan of cats. Due to his demeanor, he may also do better in a home with older children. He is fantastic on a leash with a good harness, as Aussies love to run. Monty is mesmerized by squirrels and becomes very excited when he spots one. Due to his long, beautiful coat, he will need regular grooming. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming

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.)
