Meet Indie, a 3-year-old aussie mix with the cutest ears and smile. Indie enjoys playing with toys and getting yummy treats. She also loves fetch! Indie loves to go on walks with the volunteers and enjoys running in the yard, as well. When we sit down with she just wants to climb into our lap and give kisses while she gets pets!In September of 2023, Indie had surgery to correct an issue with a luxating patella and is fully healed and doing great! She's back to running around and playing like before. She is about 40lbs now and can likely stand to lose some of the weight she had gained while on cage rest.Indie is a herding breed, so as always, we strongly encourage anyone interested in her to research these types of dogs. Indie hasn't shown herself to be a big fan of other dogs during her time with us, so she will need to be an only pet! She promises to provide lots of love and laughter to her forever family!Indie's adoption fee has been fully sponsored by a generous donor!

🐾 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.

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

Meet Raspberry  Born around 12/20/25 | Australian Shepherd mix | Medium–large when grown Raspberry is a joyful little furball who absolutely LOVES life. You can actually hear her smiling as she runs by with her mouth open, soaking up every moment. Her goofy, happy-go-lucky personality is guaranteed to brighten your day and keep you laughing. Raspberry is all about her people — she thrives on companionship and loves being included in whatever you’re doing, whether that’s playtime, adventures, or just hanging out together. She’s playful, affectionate, and full of that irresistible puppy enthusiasm. She’s great with kids, dog-friendly, and has been raised in a home with a cat. While she does enjoy a good chase (as many puppies do), she shows no aggression and is learning appropriate boundaries. As an Australian Shepherd mix, Raspberry will do best with a family ready to give her the love, structure, and activity she needs to grow into a confident, well-rounded adult. She’s expected to be on the larger side of medium when fully grown. If you’re looking for a happy, people-loving pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Raspberry might be your perfect match.   If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  .
