Story
Hi, I'm Abby! I have been at the shelter for a while now and really want to find my forever home. I am an Aussie/ heeler mix and have the personality to match. I will fit best with somebody who is willing to invest in dog training and has experience with herding dogs. If you give me a little time to learn what you want from me, I know I will make you happy. I prefer a human with an active lifestyle and want a fenced yard to run in to keep me physically active. Since I'm a very intelligent dog, I would love to have my brain challenged! I would prefer a home without other animals or children. I have some arthritis in my hips and the vet has found a protocol that keeps me comfortable. Feel free to ask us about it!Please come meet me soon!DOB 8/8/20 44 poundsI'm waiting for a home to call my own. email webmaster@petrefuge.com to learn more about me or fill out an application at https://www.petrefuge.com/adoptPet Refuge was formed in 1978 to help with cats and dogs in need of homes.

Story
“HI ALL!!! My name is Tina (but I answer to hand signals!) I’m under 4years old as much as I love my friends here I really would LOVE a foster or forever home that can help me along- I have had a hard time training due to being deaf and some people just don’t understand me:( I would require a new parent to be very understanding and knowledgeable regarding hearing impaired pets or willing to work with me. I have been returned a few times due to my mouth getting me into trouble:( But, I know my forever home is out there!!! I’m the best girl ever I promise and I would LOVE a place to call home for now or permanently that has prior experience with a deaf puppy!!!”   ##575157##

Story
We'd love for you to meet Abby. She is the smartest girl ever. Abby knows sit, come, stay, lay down, speak and shake with her right paw and left paw! If you have time to teach her, we're sure there isn't any behavior she couldn't learn. Let's talk about the best things about Abby...she is so relational. The more she trusts you, the more she knows you, the more over-the-moon for you she is when she sees you. It is amazing to see her go from being scared and untrusting to having entire body wiggles and wanting to be close to you. Her ideal home would be with someone who has experience with herding dogs as well as sensitive dogs. A slow pace when getting to know others is the perfect way to set her up for success. A calm, introverted home environment is just what Abby is looking for. A few of her favorite things to do are going for walks, going for car rides, snuggling and running. She also has a great nose on her and we think she'd be one awesome snufflemat inspector! We are still learning what Abby thinks about other furry friends and we can update soon! She may be happiest if it is just her in the home with her people that she trusts. She asks for anyone in the home to be teenagers and older. If you are interested in adopting Abby, the first step is to email us at pets@michianapets.org. We're so excited for Abby to find her family. She is about four years old, is 53 pounds and is spayed. Please be patient while she is getting to know you. She is worth the extra effort...trust us.

Meet Naylene, just like her name, she is one of a kind! This 9-year-old Australian Shepherd mix may be a senior, but do not let that fool you, this girl can run! Sweet, playful, and full of energy, Naylene still has plenty of pep in her step and a big love for stuffed toys (she carries them around like treasures!). She is new to the shelter, so we’re still getting to know her, but one thing is for sure , she has already stolen our hearts.

These pups are in Plymouth, Indiana too!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Brie is a 9-year old BC/Rat Terrier mix who is in need of a forever home due to allergies of the newborn child of her owners in her current home.  She is a well-behaved, playful girl and seems to get along well with people and other dogs, and likely even with cats, although her exposure to them has been limited. Her owners say this about Brie: Brie , Breed: Border Collie, Rat Terrier mix , Age: Approx. 9 years old , Health: No current healthconcerns. She is up to date on Rabies shot. Her annual is due but I will get that done soon. She isspayed.Description: She is very lovable and loves her people. She can be a good guard dog but knowswhen to stand down. She can be vocal and is very vocal when with dogs bigger than her. She's notafraid to establish her space and boundaries if need be; however, she is not one to bite others at all - She is a sweetheart. She can get defensive around big dogs but all she does is bark. She barks when she plays too so it may seem as if she's being aggressive but she's really just playing. She is good withpeople, kids, and other dogs. She will lay on the couch with you or sit/lay on the ground next to you and watch TV. She's still active for a 9 year old and can jump when excited. She loves to run and havespace - though gated is best. She is leash trained, but needs the leash. I am doing research on the best place to take her because I know she can be in a loving home. I have a bed, kennel, blankets, vest, brushes, heartworm medicine and more that she will go with. Last check up date: 09/29/23, Center Hill Animal Clinic , Reason for rehome: newborn is allergic If you would like to meet or know more about Brie, please contact her owners at carlton95moore@hotmail.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 28, 2025, 5:22 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Spirit is a young Border Collie who was adopted recently by her current owner from what that owner describes as 'a bad situation.'  Her owner says Spirit is a lovely dog but is not fitting in with the resident dogs in her current home, and so is available for adoption. While Spirit and the resident dogs in her current home do not get along, this does not mean that Spirit will react negatively to all dogs in general; however, a potential owner should be aware of this and that Spirit may want to be an only dog in her home.  She is accepting of adults and older children, but will chase cats if the opportunity arises.  Since Spirit is living in Kentucky and is not being kept on heartworm preventive, she will need to be tested for heartworm and a potential owner should make this a priority. Spirit's current owner says that she is a 'Shy loving border collie that needs someone who knows how to work with them. Might not like other dogs.' If you are interested in meeting Spirit or learning more about her, please contact her current owner at hatfield.michelle@gmail.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 3:42 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact tammybuehrer@gmail.com for more information about this pet.  Chloe — Whispy, Smart & Ready to Fly! &#226&#156&#168   Age: ~9 months Weight: 24 lbs Height: ~16 inches Spayed Female Border Collie Mix BC experience required Fenced yard required Best as an only dog (see below!) No young kids Chloe may be petite in size, but her personality is anything but small. This spirited young Border Collie mix is sweet, sensitive, whip-smart—and ready for the right home to help her continue her journey toward confidence and joy. A Remarkable Transformation Chloe arrived in foster care in early March, shut down and scared of everything—especially people. She couldn’t make eye contact without trembling and urinating in fear. But with time, consistency, and a whole lot of love, she’s made amazing progress. She now seeks affection, makes eye contact, and looks to her trusted person for reassurance. Meeting new people is still a process, but with proper introductions and patience, Chloe is learning that humans can be safe and even fun!  Dog Dynamics Chloe LOVES other dogs—sometimes too much. While she enjoys playing with canine friends, she’s prone to becoming overly dependent on them. In the home, she would do best as a solo dog with regular access to appropriate dog friends. If there is another dog in the home, that dog must be very neutral and non-reactive, so Chloe doesn’t default to following them instead of building trust with her people. She’s learning to enjoy solo time and is starting to build confidence through one-on-one training sessions with her foster.     Training Superstar Training Chloe is a dream for anyone with the patience to let her think things through. She is extremely intelligent and eager to learn, picking up commands quickly once she feels safe. She knows: • Come • Sit • Her name • “Wait” • “Kennel up” • “Off” She’s working on “Down” and improving every day. Chloe needs a home that will gently push her outside of her comfort zone—not one that will coddle her fears. She thrives with structure, gentle guidance, and a little bit of challenge.   Farm-Ready Chloe has become quite the little farm dog! She enjoys outdoor time, loves to run, and would not thrive in a small city yard. She’s respectful of the chickens on her foster’s property (who are housed in a secure run), and she shows interest but has never caused trouble. She ignores the indoor cats and gives them space. Outside, she may chase barn cats—especially the ones who instigate a game!—but she means no harm.   Car Rides & Safety Chloe rides beautifully in the car when secured in a seat-belt harness. She quietly naps or watches the world go by. She’s not a fan of being crated in the car and does best buckled in. Due to her lingering fear responses, she must be tethered or crated—she is still a flight risk and needs continued work to build confidence in new environments.      Best Home Environment Chloe will thrive in a calm, structured home. &#226&#156&#133 Best as an only dog (or with a very benign resident dog) &#226&#156&#133 Needs a securely fenced yard and space to run &#226&#156&#133 No young kids—older teens (13+) who understand her sensitivities may be okay &#226&#156&#133 No dog parks or chaotic social settings &#226&#156&#133 Ideal for someone who enjoys training and helping a dog blossom   A Diamond in the Rough Do you have time in your life for the most wonderful little dog you could ever imagine having in your life? Chloe is a diamond in the rough—an absolute sprite of a dog. Bright, happy, eager, and affectionate, she has so much love to give. She still has lessons to learn, and she needs someone special to help her become the dog she was always meant to be.Is that person youChloe is being fostered in Onondaga, MI Please contact tammybuehrer@gmail.com if you have any questions about Chloe.  You can complete an application to adopt Chloe or any of the dogs on our website at www.comebyebcrescue.org .    ***  The potential adoptor will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 5, 2025, 8:41 am
