Story
Mindy (9months, 29lbs) is a happy, curious, and downright adorable young pup with silky black fur, caramel-brown accents, and a fluffy fan tail that perfectly matches her playful personality. She’s a total lovebug who adores snuggling, being told she’s a good girl, meeting new people, and getting brushed like the princess she clearly believes she is. Mindy is housebroken and does wonderfully in her crate—quiet, calm, and accident-free. She knows sit, down, and come (most of the time!) and is eager to learn more, especially when treats are involved. When she’s not cuddling, she’s happily entertaining herself with toys or attempting to convince you that laying directly on your head is the ultimate form of affection.As a typical 9-month-old puppy, Mindy is still learning the ropes and will need continued training and exercise. She’s working on polite leash manners—she gets easily distracted by interesting smells, sounds, birds, and leaves that clearly must be chased. She may jump when excited and is learning “off” and “stay,” so a patient, consistent home will help her shine. Mindy would likely do well with another dog to help show her the way, but she’ll thrive just as much with humans who have the time and energy to keep her active, mentally engaged, and well-loved. She has not been around cats or children. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, snuggly pup who’s ready to grow into an amazing companion, Mindy might be your perfect match. ????If you’d like to take this pupper home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $350 and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. They’ve been checked by a veterinarian and are up to date on necessary vaccinations, including Rabies and DHLPP. They have also been tested for heartworm and tick-borne diseases and have started heartworm and flea preventative medication. Some of our dogs have even undergone extensive medical care to ensure they’re ready for a happy, healthy life with you!

Our pups come with one month of free pet insurance when you adopt.

Seriously — this girl turns heads everywhere she goes… and then zooms past them because she’s got places to be. 😄 She’s smart, athletic, and READY FOR ACTION, making her an amazing candidate for agility, obedience, hiking, running, or anything that lets her stretch those legs and use that brilliant Aussie brain. Fergie walks beautifully on and off leash, hops into the car like a pro, and is always up for the next adventure — whether that’s a weekend road trip or a quick trip to grab coffee. Fergie is: ✅ House trained ✅ Spayed & up-to-date on vaccines ✅ Great with dogs ✅ Good with kids ✅ Energetic, athletic, and eager to learn ✅ A total superstar with “good dog” energy Cats are currently unknown, but with her smarts and training ability, proper introductions could go a long way. This girl is not a couch potato — she’s looking for an active family who wants a dog to be part of everything but she does like that precious cuddle just like any other... when the day is done. Morning walks? She’s in. Weekend hikes? Absolutely. Road trips? Shotgun. Folding laundry? She’ll supervise. And let’s talk about that coat — rich chocolate brown with tan and white markings that make her look like she walked straight out of a dog magazine. Beauty and brains? Yes, for sure! ✨ If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick, adventure buddy, and all-around awesome dog, Fergie checks every box.
