Story

Cami is fostered in Oconomowac, WI Cami is a beautiful black tri Toy/Mini Australian Shepherd, born 11/22/2021, weighing approximately 18 pounds. She is a resilient puppy mill survivor who is learning what it truly means to be loved, safe, and part of a family. For the first few years of her life, Cami lived in a puppy mill where she repeatedly had litters of puppies. After finally being released, she briefly had a loving owner who sadly passed away before she had fully learned how to be a dog. Since then, Cami has been in foster care where she continues making incredible progress every day. Last year, Cami found what everyone hoped would be her forever home with an older couple who adored her. Unfortunately, due to serious health issues and a long rehabilitation stay, her adopter can no longer care for her, and she is once again looking for a forever family. Despite everything she has been through, Cami is gentle, sweet, and eager to bond. Once she trusts you, she loves snuggling on the couch, giving kisses, rolling over for belly rubs, and sleeping close to her people. Belly rubs are one of her absolute favorite things. Because of her past, fast movements still make her nervous. When someone stands up or moves suddenly, she may bark and follow behind them. Her foster family has worked hard with her, and she has already made amazing progress. Cami wants so badly to feel safe, and with patience and consistency, she continues gaining confidence. A few things about Cami: • Loves other dogs and would do best with a confident dog companion• Recommed a physically fenced yard• Learning to walk on a leash and improving daily• Will happily follow you from room to room• Does not chew things that aren’t hers• Wakes up each morning ready to go outside and potty• Human touch is still new to her and must be on her terms• Kids are interesting to her, but she prefers calm environments Cami would do best with someone who is willing to put in the training to continue her calming skills. As she is more vocal and has some nervous energy, we feel she would do best in a calmer environment with someone willing to put in some extra training with her. She also does better with a female caregiver over men, who still scare her a bit. Cami is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccinations and receiving monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworms. She does require a committed adopter who is willing to devote 1 - 2 hours of mental and physical stimulation per day. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.

Story

Sienna now called Mishka is fostered in Franklin, IN Meet Mishka – Your Next Adventure Buddy! I'm a 1-2 year old Australian Shepherd red tri female looking for my forever family. I'm full of energy, super adventurous, and always ready for fun. I love running around, chasing toys, and exploring the outdoors — being inside all day just isn't my style! I am very sweet and affectionate with people. I light up when I meet new friends and give the best happy greetings. I do great with other dogs too, though I can be a bit territorial about my house and yard (I like to keep things in order!). I also have strong opinions about lawn equipment - mowers and weedeaters are my nemesis - and I will let you know with a bark or two. I do have a curiosity with cats, and have chased one that ran, but could potentially coexist with a cat that is dog-savvy. I’m easy to live with. I walk beautifully on a leash, know all my basic commands (sit, down, come), and have zero potty accidents (potty trained). I am confident when left alone but get bored quickly, so I bounce between toys for entertainment. My favorite things? Long play sessions, ear scratches, and belly rubs that make my tail go wild. I also love running errands and going on car rides as well. I am a water dog and enjoy playing in water. If you have an active lifestyle with plenty of outdoor time, space to play, and patience for my aussie personality, I could be the perfect match for you! I am crate trained, do well for grooming and baths. I also could live in a household with age-approriate, respectful children. Are you ready to bring some zoomies and joy into your life? ##2701809##

Story

Junior pka 50 Scent is fostered in Waukesha, WI. Meet Junior! Born February 5, Junior may be a little taller than his siblings—but it’s his big personality that really makes him stand out! This adorable Aussie mix is the perfect blend of snuggly and playful. He loves to be right by your side, whether you’re relaxing on the couch or getting things done—he’s your little “helper” who just wants to tag along for the adventure. Junior is curious, affectionate, and full of charm. He’s also quite the talker and will happily “sing” along with you, making him as entertaining as he is lovable. He enjoys playing with other dogs and people, and he’s been exposed to dogs of all sizes, doing great with everyone he meets. He’s also been tested with kids and cats and has done wonderfully. Junior’s mom, an Aussie mix, came into rescue as a pregnant stray, so dad is a mystery—but based on the litter’s smaller size, we believe he may have been a smaller breed. He’s doing great with potty training and is already showing how smart and eager he is—Junior listens well and truly wants to make his people happy, which will make training a rewarding experience for his future family. Like any puppy, he’s still learning and will need a home ready to guide him with patience, consistency, and lots of love. If you’re looking for a curious, cuddly, and fun-loving companion who will keep you smiling (and maybe singing), Junior might just be your perfect match! Even at this young age, these puppies are starting early socialization and gaining confidence as they explore the world around them. They are being exposed to normal household activity and human interaction to help set them up for success in their future homes. Because they are young puppies, they will need families who are committed to continuing their development. This includes: Ongoing socialization Positive training Potty training Plenty of exercise and mental stimulation Junior is up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped and on monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworm.

Story

Bentley is fostered in Pleasonton, KS. Meet Bentley. Bentley was surrendered to us when his owner had some medical issues and was unable to continue caring for him. Bentley came in a little under-socialized and slightly overweight but he has come A LONG WAY! Bentley's date of birth is 9/6/2022, he is a male neutered Australian Shepherd mix who weighs 50lbs. Bentley is silly, funny, and a bit of a goofball! His true personality started showing up and it makes him SO adorable! We think Bentley needs a forever home with another dog, a fenced yard and someone who will meet him where he is in his socialization, be patient with him so he can settle in and build a bond/trust with them. Once that trust is built, watch out! He will be his goofy silly self! Bentley loves it when his foster mom asks him questions, he does this cute head tilt and cocks his ears up like he is listening to every word she says! He is SO smart! In his prior home before coming to rescue, Bentley spent great deal of time in his crate. For this reason, he did not receive proper socialization. Socialization is something his foster home has diligently been working on with him. She has been desensitizing him to many things, including leash walking, grooming, other dogs and other people. Bentley previously experienced some fears in some area, but he really has put in a lot of work and he is making wonderful progress in all areas. Bentley is in a foster home with 4 legged canine fur siblings of various ages and sizes, and does well with them. We are unsure about cats. Bentley is more of a low-key guy who is looking for an adopter who enjoys the same type of lifestyle. He prefers a home where there are less comings and goings. We also recommend a physically fenced yard and a home that is both patient and has no children under age 12, and a canine companion. would be ideal for this guy. Bentley is a talker. The more you talk to him, the more he expresses his feelings. Bentley is what we term a "work in progress", but he is the type of dog that will quickly become your best friend once trust is gained between you. Are you looking for your new best friend? Bentley is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.

Story

Schwartzy is being fostered in Waukesha WI Meet Schwartzy. This stunning all black Australian Shepherd mix boy is a super sensitive soul, with his gold eyes that just melt your heart. He came to us from a shelter where he was returned twice in his short little life. This boy wouldn't mind another canine companion in his home to play with but he could also be an only dog. This boy could be your lapdog or your backyard play buddy. Schwartzy is potty trained and crate trained and likes his crate. He is a small, young and insecure boy, just over a year old and is still working through some of his fears. He weighs in at just 40 lbs. He will need a patient adopter that is willing to help him through some of these fears with calm, positive, clear leadership and dog handling skills. Once a bond is formed, he loves his person with all of his being. We believe he was previously on a shock collar because he has some sensitivities with his neck being "grabbed" or any leash pressure on his neck. His foster mom has been working with him to desensitize this specifically, but it is a work in progress for him. In his foster home, he lives with many other dogs, cats, a bird and horses. He does just fine with all those animals. NEEDS FOR HIS FOREVER HOME: He would prefer a quieter country style or rural setting where there isn't a ton of commotion. We also believe he needs children over the age of 14 in his home or no children at all. We recommend a physically fenced yard would also be important for him. Do you have what it takes to give this boy a home and help him overcome his fears? He is looking for a special human to be his forever. Is that you? Schwartzy is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.

Story

Monte is fostered in Waterford, MI. Meet Montague, or Monte! This handsome split-faced red merle Australian Shepherd male is approximately 8 years old weighing in at 39 lbs. Monte came into rescue from the a nearby helter, where he was surrendered by his owners of 6 years due to concerns about his behavior and the toddler in the home. He has somewhat of a prey drive resulting in a tendency to herd the "little humans". The herding behavior of working breeds may appear to be cute, but can result in adverse consequences for both child and dog. For this reason, Monte would be best suited for a fur-ever family that is an adult only home, or a home with children over the age of 12. Monte has a personality as adorable as his face! He is always excited to meet new "big" people and loves to wiggle his butt as he leans into them for attention! He loves his toys, and is not a destroyer of stuffed toys, but rather prefers to carry "his babies" around with him gently. Monte is an avid ball player and loves to play fetch! Despite his age of 8 years, he is like the energizer bunny outside. Quite skilled as a ball catcher, Monte loves to show off all his leaping and spinning moves. Basic commands are a breeze for this guy and he knows Sit, Down and Stay. Advanced commands and talents his foster has discovered, making him even cuter if that's possible, are; Spin, Roll-Over and Stand/Dance by using hand signals. He loves his treats, but can be a bit of a resource guarder when it comes to food. He is also accustomed to being bathed and groomed on a regular basis. Indoors, Monte is a quiet little follower. Silently plodding behind you as you walk around the house or even just choosing to rest silently in his crate as long as you are within his sight line. Monte is fully housebroken and crate-trained. Because of his uncertainty with other dogs in the fosters home, Monte voluntarily spends time in his crate which is his "safe space". Monte can be very dog selective, so meet and greets in a neutral location are necessary. His foster believes that Monte has been an only dog his entire life. He appears to lack the experience and "know all" to enable him to pick up on social cues from other dogs. The foster has had Monte in Doggy Daycare a few times in the pursuit of helping him socialize and to expose him to various other dogs. His report card says he does good with some dogs and wants nothing to do with others. We have yet to discern what makes him tick in that respect, but he does not appear to not be fond of dominant dogs as he may consider himself the dominant dog. Cats are not recommended for Monte as he would much rather herd them than exist quietly with cats. Monte has fairly good leash manners, always checking in and making eye contact while walking on leash...until he gets distracted or excited about meeting the next person walking by, at which point he will have a tendency to pull. He is refocused fairly easily with a slight change in direction and a quick verbal command. Monte also has really good recall, preferring to be at your side when you want him to be. If he gets out of your sight line while off-leash, a quick squeek of his ball or call of his name will bring him right back. Car rides are not an issue for this guy. He loves to go for rides and on new adventures, many times accompanying his foster mom to work. Monte will develop into a super loyal companion with the right humans to guide him and appreciate all he has to offer. Monte's Needs: A dedicated owner/family with older children and patience to continue his training and provide unlimited affection in exchange for butt wiggles and kisses. A large, securely fenced in yard to run and play. Monte's Wants: An Adventure Buddy or Family that will take him on walks and provide him with lots of physical exercise and mental stimulation. An unlimited supply of toys/balls to play with and snacks to beg for. Monte is neutered, negative for all tick borne diseases, up to date on vaccinations, is microchipped, dewormed and on monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworm. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.
