He will be some work for the right individual who can help him blossom.  Link is on the small end of the medium size range. CARE's adoption process is done by the applicant using their cell at the adoption meeting to access the Shelterluv platform to agree to the adoption contract and pay the $250 adoption fee by credit or debit card. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 27, 2023, 2:19 pm

Hello, I'm Seth! I weigh 56.6 lbs. and I'm a very sweet boy. I don't like the other dogs here at the shelter and I haven't been exposed to cats yet. I would do very well in a family that has a laid-back, relaxed routine, as I'm a very calm boy! Please consider me for adoption and come see me at the shelter!

Story
Meet Stella, an Australian Shepherd mix who's searching for a forever home. Stella was once a puppy here at our Humane Society, but unfortunately, her previous adoption didn't work out because she's not a fan of chickens. Stella is a true indoor girl who has been housebroken, making her an ideal companion for those seeking a well-behaved canine. At approximately 4 years old, Stella has already settled into her personality and is ready to shower her new family with love and loyalty. She weighs around 47.0 pounds, and we've been working on helping her achieve a healthier weight. Visit our Humane Society today to meet Stella and discover the joy and love she has to offer!

Story
URGENT Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Anderson, IN Duke is a 8 year old Australian Shepherd and weighs around 90 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots and on heartworm prevention. Duke is good with dogs, cats and older children. No small children due to his reactivity! He bit a 2 year old child with special needs who was bothering him and put his face near him. He belonged to the owner’s daughter, who passed away. She doesn’t have the space to keep him, so he is living with a family member who has small children. He is being surrendered due to not doing well with their small children. He needs to find a new home by 9/17! If you think you can provide a great home for Duke, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions. This fee will be donated to Australian Shepherds Furever for their assistance in placing Duke. Owner’s Contact Information: Sheri Trail-Likoy at (859) 433-7254 or skyeblueky@gmail.com.

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Banana! After being a mom and then dumped at the shelter, Banana came to us ready to have a life where she was someone’s baby. Banana is a double merle Aussie mix, and unfortunately does have visual impairments. She is not completely blind, but does sometimes struggle with vision. Thankfully, Banana is able to hear perfectly, and is able to live a normal life! Banana was not well socialized in her life prior, so it takes her time to adjust to new situations. She spent about 2 weeks in her foster home avoiding touch and interaction, but did very well following cues from the other dogs. She LOVES other dogs, and has been wonderful with all sizes. Once she warmed up to her foster parents, she was a whole new girl! She is a playful, active, hilarious dog with so much personality. Her head tilts and silly ears are cute as can be, and her goofy prancing is enough to win anyone over. Banana does like to play with dogs, and is just learning how toys work. She likes to pull all the toys out of the toy box, and then uses it as a place to hang out. Banana is doing well with potty training, but will need consistency to keep her on track. She had never been on leash prior to coming to us, and although she is significantly better, she will need to keep practicing so she feels more comfortable. Banana would do best in a home with a fenced yard and , atleast one other confident and playful dog. Her new family will need to be patient and low traffic. Although banana is kind to people, loud/busy children would be a little much for her at this time. Banana is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm negative, and current on flea and heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $200. To be considered for adoption, apply at farfetcheddogrescue.org!

Story
I adopted Grayson from a rescue in Memphis, TN at age 10 weeks. He has been with me and my older children since then as well as two other dogs. I need to rehome him because my daughter had a baby (they live with me), and he seems to think the baby is prey. My vet says this is not simple jealousy, that this is related to his high prey drive and likely won’t improve. He’s never shown aggression to people before. He’s had some training but would benefit from more training. He’s very treat motivated and loves to fetch and carry around his “babies”. He really is a good boy that needs a new home without small animals or babies. He has been crate trained and is house broken. He can guard his treats or food so he needs to be crated to eat if there are other dogs or younger kids around.
