Sapphire-Australian Shepard Blue Merle male, ~ 4 yr. (Dec. 2025) Contact rescuebc@hotmail.com for an application.

He loves puzzles and is very intelligent dog, typical for his breed. He's used to living with children and is good with other dogs. He has a great personality. He will enjoy an active lifestyle, hiking, running, playing. He is loving and will be a wonderful companion. Look at those blue eyes...how would you say no to him.

Story
Meet Ollie!Ollie is a special, resilient double merle pup who happens to be deaf and partially blind. Despite his challenges, he is full of heart and is looking for an experienced, patient home where he can truly shine. Ollie would thrive with another confident, friendly dog in the home to help show him the ropes and guide him as he learns his way around.Because Ollie can’t hear and has limited vision, he needs a little extra time to warm up to new people and new environments — but once he trusts you, he’s incredibly loving. He has adored all of our staff members and has shown us just how sweet and eager to bond he really is.Ollie was surrendered to us due to reported biting, but after a full behavioral assessment here at the shelter, we have not seen those behaviors. We believe Ollie may simply need a quieter, more predictable home where he can feel safe and understood.If you’d like to learn more about this wonderful boy and see if he’s the right fit for your home, please call our shelter staff. Ollie is ready for his second chance — could it be with you?Ollie's adoption fee is $75, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: https://www.acskc.org/adopt-1Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet!

Story
Introducing Zeke, a truly remarkable pup whose heartwarming spirit and playful energy are ready to light up a new home. Zeke is a handsome, resilient boy who, through no fault of his own, found himself searching for a new home. He's more than ready to embark on his next chapter, seeking a loving, forever family to call his own. Zeke is a bundle of joyful energy, known for his silliness and ability to bring a smile to anyone's face. While he may start off shy, it doesn't take long for his true personality to shine through. He quickly becomes an enthusiastic playmate who thrives on the company of other dogs and will gleefully encourage them to play. Zeke is a smart and well-mannered companion. He is potty-trained and comfortable in his crate. He also knows basic commands like "sit" and "go to your room," and his eagerness to please makes him a joy to train further. While he’s working on managing his excitement (which sometimes results in enthusiastic leaps!), his good intentions are always clear. Walks are a highlight of his day, offering him a chance to explore and burn off some of that youthful energy. His barks will let you know precisely when he needs to go outside or when he hears you approaching the door. If you’re seeking an active, affectionate, and charming dog who promises boundless love and entertainment, Zeke could be the perfect addition to your home. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
"not the mama, NOT the mama!!" Anyone remember the cute dinosaur show from the early 2000's?? Well, we said that so many times to our "bottle baby fosters" they just didn't know what to do with us :) But they kept feeding us, waking up at all hours of the night and making sure we were fed and happy and loved..... SO, we are growing quickly and getting ready for our furever families!! Not the mama goes to the wayside when we meet you :D We are happy go lucky pups, Bear Bear is more sensitive than his sisters, he was the shyest pup but has come out of his shell, he is the one who will cuddle with you (until someone else wants to play). Sissies Lioness and Cheeta are spicy girls, loving and playful and Lioness likes to hang out behind things and then cry for help to get out.... or she cries because she is alone, OR she cries because no one has gotten her yet! Cheeta is more independent but will let you hold her and cuddle for about 10 min and then it is back to exploring and playing with her siblings :) As their foster moms, we love these little turds and pray they find the right homes for them. Active and adventurous for the girls and more laid back for Bear! ADOPT....DON'T SHOP!!! WE cannot save more without adoptions!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
