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
Meet Latte! Approx. 12 weeks old (as of 1/31/26) • 9.5 lbs • Possible Mini Aussie/Aussie mix/Border Collie mix Latte is as sweet as her name suggests! This bright, affectionate puppy wins over everyone she meets. While her exact breed mix is unknown, Latte shows many traits common to Mini Aussies, Australian Shepherds, and Border Collies — including intelligence, sensitivity, and a strong desire to bond with her people. What Latte Loves • Other dogs — she absolutely adores canine friends and thrives with them. • All people — including the kids she has met. • Riding in the car — she’s calm, comfortable, and travels like a pro. • Learning and being near her humans. What We Don’t Know Yet • Cats — she hasn’t been tested with them yet. Ideal Forever Home Latte will do best in a home that: • Has at least one confident, friendly dog, which helps her feel secure and supports her as she works through some separation anxiety. • Has herding breed experience or knowledge, or is excited to learn how to meet the needs of a smart, active breed mix. • Is patient and consistent as she continues working on potty training and crate training — she’s making steady progress! Other Details Latte is scheduled for her spay surgery on 2/2 and will be ready to start interviewing for her forever home on 2/7.
