Story
Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Covington, KY Meet Maxwell! He is a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd and weighs 53 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots, but isn’t on heartworm prevention. Maxwell is nervous around children! No cats, due to his reactivity! He doesn’t live with another dog but is good with dogs outside of the home. He can be anxious when left alone. The owner is surrendering him because they are unable to provide the time and attention that he needs. He also doesn’t get along with the cat. He needs to go ASAP! If you think you can provide a great home for Maxwell, 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 Maxwell. Owner’s Contact Information: Ben ella.mahar@gmail.com

Story
We’re looking to rehome our wonderful dog to a caring family who can give her the time, love, and activity she deserves. She is very energetic, playful, and absolutely loves being around people. If you enjoy walks, outdoor adventures, or an active lifestyle, she’ll be your perfect companion! She has a sweet personality and enjoys cuddles just as much as playtime. She is good with other dogs and enjoys having furry friends to run and play with. She would likely do well in a home with another playful dog or with someone who can provide regular exercise and engagement. We want to ensure she goes to a safe, loving home where she’ll be part of the family. If you’re interested in giving this sweet girl a forever home, please reach out and tell us a little about yourself and your living situation. We care deeply about finding her the best possible home. ❤️
