Story
Max is a young Australian Shepherd mix with a heart full of love—for people! He recently came back to us after being adopted, and while he’s an affectionate, devoted pup with his humans, Max is very clear about one thing: he wants to be your one and only pet. Max has shown us that life with other animals just isn’t for him. He needs a pet-free home where he can feel secure and not overwhelmed by other dogs or cats. Trust us—he has more than enough love, energy, and personality to fill your home all by himself! As a herding breed mix, Max is intelligent, energetic, and thrives on structure and enrichment. He’ll do best with an experienced, active owner who understands the needs of high-drive working breeds and can give him the mental and physical stimulation he craves. Max is truly a wonderful dog in the right environment: loving, loyal, and eager to bond. He just needs a home that gives him the opportunity to shine. If you’re ready to welcome a smart, spirited dog who wants to be your one and only, Max is ready to meet you!

Story
Kenai: A Christmas Boy with a Heart Ready to Heal Kenai was born on Christmas Day 2014, but the gifts of love and stability have never come his way—until now. As the father of this rescued group, Kenai is the most confident and curious of the pack. Like many Australian Shepherds, he’s intelligent, observant, and quick to learn—he’s simply never had the opportunity to be someone’s dog. Kenai was found after years of neglect—not abuse, but a life with little human interaction or affection. Now, he’s timid and fearful, but not broken. With guidance and love, he’ll absolutely thrive. Kenai is neutered, dewormed, fully vetted, and up to date on shots. He’s currently in boarding in Naperville, but what he truly needs is a quiet foster home to decompress, get individualized attention, and learn to enjoy cuddles, leashes, and life inside a home. To build confidence, Kenai must be separated from his pack, as they lean on each other and withdraw from people when kept together. Independent placement will help him blossom. Australian Shepherds are loyal, eager to bond ##2379651##
