Story

We’re not sure about Veronica’s backstory, but we know that she’s likely been through a lot. It seems as if someone wasn’t always very nice to her because she shuts down in some situations. But she does want to be right with her person, following closely on their heels. We think Veronica is about 6 years old. She is a gorgeous Australian shepherd with a gentle personality. While she is recovering from heartworm treatment, she still has energy and wants to play. Veronica is deaf and has limited vision. She’s very smart and has learned several touch commands including “good girl” and “come.” She is learning to walk nicely on a leash and is housebroken. She sleeps nicely in her pen overnight. Veronica would do best in a home with a friendly dog to help give her confidence. She does not like being left alone for very long, so she’d love someone who is home most of the day. She’d love an active person because she loves to explore and go on adventures. She’d prefer a physical, fenced yard to keep her safe. This sweet, beautiful Aussie is being fostered in the St. Louis area. ##2378212##

Story

Audrey’s story began in an overburdened rural shelter when she and her brother Kane arrived at just sixweeksold — orphaned, emaciated, and so cold they were barely hanging on after their mother was found nearby, struck by a car. Out of a litter of seven, Audrey and Kane were the only survivors. From the very start, she proved she was a fighter with a heart full of resilience. Now ninemonthsold, Audrey has blossomed into a confident, joyful girl who loves life with every ounce of her being. She’s an Australianshepherd and husky mix — smart, playful, and affectionate, with a spirit that shines wherever she goes. Audrey loves other dogs, especially big dogs and thrives in their company. She’s happiest when she’s playing, running, or splashing in the water, and she never turns down a good adventure. Audrey is brave, curious, and full of personality. She’s the kind of dog who wins hearts everywhere she goes and loves being close to her people. She and Kane will not be adopted together, and Audrey is ready for a home of her own — one where she can continue to grow into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. Audrey is being fostered in the St.Louisarea. To apply: https://www.speakrescue.com/pre-adoption-form ##2689461##

Story

Kane’s story began with heartbreak. At just six weeks old, he and his sister Audrey were brought into an overburdened rural shelter after their mother was found nearby, struck by a car. Out of a litter of seven cold, emaciated puppies, Kane and Audrey were the only survivors. They fought through parasites, illness, and sarcoptic mange — proving from the very beginning that they are resilient, determined little souls. Today, at nine months old, Kane has grown into the sweetest, snuggliest boy. He’s a smaller Aussie/husky mix with a gentle heart and a soft spirit. Kane can be shy when meeting new people, but once he feels safe, he melts right into your arms. He loves being close and finds comfort in quiet companionship. Kane is wonderfully dogfriendly and gains confidence from canine friends. He loves to play, run, and explore, and he absolutely lights up around water — swimming is one of his favorite things. His zoomies are legendary, full of joy and silliness, and he’s happiest when he has room to stretch his legs and enjoy life. Kane and Audrey are not being adopted together, and Kane is ready for a home of his own — one that understands gentle encouragement, soft voices, and the magic of watching a shy dog come out of his shell. He has come so far, and he’s ready for the next chapter with a family who will love him for the sweet, tender boy he is. Kane is being fostered in the St. Louis area.

Brayleigh

Australian Shepherd

Female, 8 yrs 4 mos

Troy, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Some dogs are easy. They love everybody and everything and have no quirks or issues. But doesn’t that make life kind of boring? Brayleigh is anything but boring. This girl was found as a stray roaming the streets of Texas. She had raging skin and ear infections and barely any fur. She’s also blind and deaf. But Bray is a strong and sassy survivor. With help from our vet care team, she had regular medicated baths and her beautiful coat started to grow in. Then she was a trooper and had dual luxating patella surgery. Through it all, Bray has remained true to herself. She’s very complex: She doesn’t like strangers and abhors men, but likes female humans and male dogs. Once she makes friends, she’s very sweet, affectionate, and playful … as long as you don’t try to brush out her mats or clip her nails. She’s gone through a lot in her 5-6 years and she knows what she doesn’t like! Bray loves to play, but is also content to lie down near her person. She isn’t terribly Velcro, but she does like to know where her human is. She likes to play with toys or just carry them around. We’re guessing she maybe didn’t have any her whole life, so now she will sometimes fall asleep with a toy in her mouth. It’s pretty adorable. Bray’s DNA test shows she’s a mix of Australian shepherd, Australian koolie, Australian cattle dog, and shar-pei. She’s a great size at just about 25 pounds. She’s good on a leash, great in a crate, and will potty outside if it’s dry or inside on a pad. She knows the touch command for “come” and is pretty convinced that’s all she needs to know right now. Brayleigh will need a very specific home with just a patient woman or women, preferably someone who has had experience working with “interesting” dogs. She’d probably prefer to be an only dog, but could live with a laid-back male canine sibling. Bray also needs a fenced-in yard for safety and would prefer someone home most of the time, although she is good on her own. She can be left uncrated and will use her potty pad and isn’t the least bit destructive. Brayleigh has allergies so she needs regular shampooing and brushing, daily medication, and weekly injections. Yes, she has many issues and can be difficult and stubborn. But don’t we all? It’s going to take a very special person to adopt this very special girl. But Brayleigh is so lovable, it’s worth the time it takes to get to know her. Plus she gives the biggest and best sloppiest kisses.

Story

If you're looking for a gorgeous best friend to share life's adventures, Muffin may be your perfect match! This stunning 7-month-old red merle Australian shepherd is a total head-turner, but she's so much more than a pretty face. Muffin is crate trained, housebroken, and leash trained, making her an easier addition to the right home than many puppies. She loves belly rubs and cuddling up with her people, but don't mistake her for a couch potato. This girl is ready to get out and explore the world. Whether it's hiking a scenic trail, camping under the stars, learning new skills, or trying agility or other dog sports, Muffin is eager for an active lifestyle and a person who will help her reach her full potential. Like many Aussies, Muffin is intelligent, loyal, and happiest when she has both mental and physical outlets. She wants to be more than a pet. She wants to be your partner. The kind of faithful companion who's always ready for the next adventure and always eager to make you proud. Because of her natural herding instincts, any children in the home should be over 10 years of age. She would thrive with an adopter who has previous Australian shepherd experience and understands the unique needs of this smart, driven breed. Ready for a life partner who's beautiful, fun, devoted, and always by your side? Muffin is waiting to meet you! Muffin is being fostered in the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area. ##2829591##
