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!

Story
Dottie’s story has become the norm. Her owner went to a nursing home and Dottie was left homeless. Her owner loved her a lot…with food, so Dottie is currently on a weight loss journey. She has gone through a lot in a short period of time, but she hasn’t let it get her down. This 4 yr old is past the puppy stage and is potty and crate trained, but would really enjoy sleeping in bed with her new family. She loves meeting people and will show her appreciation by flipping over for a belly rub. Can you be her happily ever after? Adoption fee $400. If you are interested in Dottie please fill out an application at www.adoptablefriends.org

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Neely! Neely is a sweet, playful 5-month-old Border Collie/Lab mix with a petite frame and a big, loving heart. Neely is on a furlough this week: "She’s super playful and super curious about everything. Potty training is going well if we take her out enough but if we have pee pads around she’ll use them, she didn’t like the windy night we had the other day, it scared her and she didn’t want to go outside so pee pads for the win. She learned how to sit! Although still working on it hahaha. And she’s doing much much better on leash She has been around my niece (5yo) and nephew (6months) and did so well, not even nibbling that much just many licks! If you’re looking for a little shadow who wants to love you endlessly, Neely is your girl!" born 8/1/25 Apply at projecthopearf.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 29, 2026, 7:03 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. &#226&#173&#144&#239&#184&#143 Noah &#226&#173&#144&#239&#184&#143 Noah is a 6-month-old Border Collie/Lab mix… and 100% lovable goofball. This fuzzy little lovebug is eager to please and just waiting for his forever person or family to choose him. What’s he like? Great with other dogs and loves to play (he’s learning not to overdo the “annoying little brother” energy). Equal parts Velcro pup and independent entertainer — he’ll happily dig through the toy basket and keep himself busy. Knows not to chew furniture or shoes, though socks and dryer sheets are his weakness (he’ll drop them when asked!). Can get overstimulated in chaotic environments and prefers slow introductions. He may take a minute to warm up, but he’s worth the wait. Once he trusts you, he is the sweetest snuggle bug who just wants to be close to his person. What can he do? Kennel trained (sleeps through the night and goes in on command). Fully potty trained with subtle but clear cues. Excellent in the car — calm, comfy, and observant. Recently graduated a 10-day obedience program! He knows “wait,” “place,” “come,” “heel,” loose-leash walking, and more. His perfect match? &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Someone committed to continuing his training and staying consistent. &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 A confident, dog-savvy adopter who can guide him and help build his confidence. Noah is smart, silly, and full of heart — he just needs someone ready to have his back forever.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Biscotti.  Came from Memphis with her mom and 8 siblings!  Rescued from being euthanized for space.   Flew in by Pilots for Paws.  She is adorable and sweet! She loves running around and snuggling.  She is super playful and lovable with gorgeous blue eyes!. Biscotti is the kind of puppy you don’t just like—you fall in love with her. This sweet ~4.5-month-old Border Collie/Husky mix recently spent the weekend on furlough with our family, and she fit right in like she had always been here. In a wonderfully chaotic household with three kids, adults, and a playful 3-year-old Bernedoodle, Biscotti was gentle, kind, curious, and so incredibly loving. She’s playful and fun—loves dog bones and tennis balls—but when she’s had her fill of fun, she’s happiest curled up right in your lap, fast asleep. She’s a skinny little thing who definitely appreciates mealtime (can you blame her?), and she has the softest brindle coat paired with the most stunning eyes and ears you’ll ever see on one dog. Biscotti is still a puppy, which means she’s learning. She isn’t fully house-trained yet, but she did beautifully sleeping overnight in her kennel and settled quickly without much fuss. She rarely barked and showed just how adaptable and easygoing she truly is. If we were in a place to take on puppy training right now, there’s no question—Biscotti would already be ours. She’s already showing all the signs of becoming an incredible dog. She just needs a family who’s ready to help her learn, grow, and continue becoming the amazing girl she’s meant to be. &#226&#156&#168 Playful. Gentle. Loving. Beautiful. &#226&#156&#168 Biscotti is ready for her forever home.
