🐾 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. Despite his painful injuries, Oreo never lost his gentle spirit or his will to love. After surgery to repair his leg and heal from road rash on his face, Oreo has made an incredible recovery. Today, he’s walking, wagging, and loving life again — proof that second chances really do exist. Oreo is playful, loyal, and full of gratitude. 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

Story
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!

Story
Winston is a Australian Shepherd mix boy born around December 20 who loves romping in the snow and snoozing on a warm blanket equally. While he is still small and actively developing his personality, he already displays a remarkable sense of courtesy by approaching people calmly and learning new things every day. He is a playful companion who enjoys wrestling with his littermates and exploring the backyard, yet he remains remarkably well-behaved for his age, even sleeping through the night. Whether he is gently mouthing a toy or settling into a quiet posture at your feet after a long session of play, Hudson’s steady temperament and observant spirit make him a truly special pup in the making. Winston will need a family home much of the time to help shape him into a happy and well mannered adult   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  .

Story
Phoebe is an Aussie Shepherd mix born around 12/20 who radiates a sweet, gentle energy. While she is still a tiny pup discovering her own personality, she is exceptionally polite, often choosing to approach people with a steady, graceful pace. She is a bright and curious soul, always eager to investigate the world around her, yet she remains remarkably focused as she learns something new every day. Phoebe is a spirited playmate who loves a good wrestling match with her littermates, but she is just as quick to settle into a peaceful cuddle at your feet once the fun is over. Already well-behaved enough to sleep through the night, Phoebe’s blend of an inquisitive mind and a quiet, observant charm makes her a truly delightful companion in the making. She will need a family who is home often to help her grow and become a wonderful adult pup!
