Story
Ophelia is a super sweet, gorgeous dog who adores people. She's great with other dogs (but could also be on her own). She is housebroken and smart. She would thrive in a training class as she's an eager learner. She is @40 lbs and we estimate 2 years old. Aussies generally make excellent watchdogs and are known for their playful and affectionate natures.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 19, 2023, 12:13 am

Story
Ozzy is a sweet, 1-year-old Australian Shepherd. He loves running in the yard, long walks, cuddling on the couch, and lots of belly rubs. He can be shy when meeting new people but hasn't met a dog he doesn't love. Ozzy would be best in a quiet home without lots of new people coming in/out all the time and would love to have a dog pal or two to help him build his confidence. His worries seem to disappear when he is in the company of other dogs. While he needs a patient owner to give him time and encouragement until he feels comfortable, once he trusts his person/people, he is an absolute joy and just wants to be around them and shower them with love. He is both house and crate-trained, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives, and eager to find a family to love! The adoption fee for this dog is $375. Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue cannot guarantee the exact age or breed of any animal in our care. The age and breed listed are based on information we may have been provided, and the appearance of the animal.

Story
Bayne is 10 years old and has mellowed in his years but he does not tolerate small children or puppies. He is really smart and protective of the people he loves. He gets really excited to see friends and family and is a natural herd dog. He enjoys the outdoors - especially hikes in the woods and swimming. Bayne’s medium length hair is soft and great for petting - he will present his butt to be pet the most! We rescued him as a puppy from a puppy mill and love him dearly but our new environment with a one year old is too stressful for all parties. We hope to find a home where he can be happy and the center of attention again.
