Story
Toby is a sweet and playful Australian shepherd saved from a kill shelter. He loves playing with other dogs and needs a home that has a playmate for him. Toby also needs an owner with an active lifestyle who can help him get all his energy out everyday and also requires a home with a fenced in backyard! Here's the truth of it: Toby has a bite history. Toby will be very loyal and friendly to his family he knows but he WILL display protective behaviors when visitors come over and if not crated or kept on leash will bite them. We are looking for an adopter who has experience with dogs and of course no small children in the home.March 7, 2026, 12:04 pm

Story
🐾 Oreo – Strong, Sweet, and Ready for His Fresh Start! Meet Oreo, a resilient and affectionate 1-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with the heart of a survivor. This sweet boy has been through so much — he was found after being hit by a car and brought to a vet by animal control. Despite his painful injuries, Oreo never lost his gentle spirit or his will to love. After surgery to repair his leg and heal from road rash on his face, Oreo has made an incredible recovery. Today, he’s walking, wagging, and loving life again — proof that second chances really do exist. Oreo is playful, loyal, and full of gratitude. He’s bursting with energy and enthusiasm for life, making him best suited for a family with older children or adults who can match his upbeat pace. He’d thrive with an active household that enjoys walks, backyard play, or weekend adventures. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a car ride, or simply relaxing by your side, Oreo is ready to share life’s simple joys with his forever family. 🐶 Breed: Australian Shepherd Mix 🖤 Age: 1 Year 💪 Personality: Energetic, loving, and endlessly optimistic 🏡 Best Home: Active family or adults ready for fun, structure, and unconditional love 📩 Apply to adopt Oreo: hopefultailsadoptions@outlook.com

Coconut came to us with his sister Kiwi when her family was having a baby and decided they wouldn’t have time for them. While they are very beautiful dogs, Australian Shepherds are very smart and active dogs who need an active lifestyle.

Story
Hi! I’m Corona and I’ve been expanding my horizons lately and now I’m finally ready to continue to do that with my forever family! I’ve been working really hard and I’m getting more and more brave every day! Walks are the best even though putting on leashes is still pretty scary. Getting pet is also amazing and I love to seek out affection (especially chin scratches!!) - - BUT I still think it’s very creepy and suspicious when people try too hard (I hope they want to pet me and not eat me!!!) Good thing we have a hand signal so I can come and get pets without feeling like I’m being chased. I can’t believe I was missing out on them for so long!I get a ton of confidence from being with my (dog) foster sisters! They aren’t afraid of anything so I like to check in with them when I’m not too sure what to do.I get so excited in the morning when my foster mom is getting ready for work! Sometimes I get to go with so I’m used to long car rides, being around lots of other dogs and most importantly lots of treats!Thank you for reading!Tail Wags!Corona MacaroniCorona came to us extremely fearful, afraid of being touched and terrified of being approached by people. He was fostered by our trainer where he got the patience, understanding and socialization he needed to become a happy fulfilled dog. We are so proud of our little guy! He’s come such a long way and we want to be sure we find an adopter that will be dedicated to and excited about his continued progress! He needs a patient owner who wants to continue to work with him and help him thrive, someone who will find joy in helping him build confidence and find joy in celebrating all of his little wins! If this sounds like you please send us an app!
