Story
Meet Pepito 🐾 Pepito is a 10-month-old, 25-lb Mini Aussie mix with a playful heart and an eagerness to learn. Rescued from a rural shelter, this sweet boy can be a little shy when he first meets new people—but don’t let that fool you. Give him a little time and reassurance, and Pepito quickly blossoms into a happy, affectionate companion. Once he feels comfortable, Pepito’s fun-loving side shines through! He absolutely loves playing with his doggie friends and would thrive in a home with another friendly pup or regular playtime. His size makes him perfect for cuddles, adventures, and everything in between. Pepito is looking for a patient, loving home that will help him continue building confidence and show him how wonderful life can be. In return, you’ll get a loyal, playful best friend who’s ready to grow up by your side. Pepito is located in Texas. His adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip and neuter. If you are interested in Pepito please complete the adoption application at the link below. If you have any questions email us at sgdrsa@outlook.com https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SGDR/Dog

Story
Meet Hamish Hamish is a 4-month-old black tri Australian Shepherd with charm for days and a personality as big as his puppy paws. He truly believes the world is his stage—and that everyone he meets was put here to adore him. Spoiler alert: they usually do. This happy, social boy loves to play and would thrive in an active home, ideally with a dog sibling who can keep up with his enthusiasm. Chasing a ball is one of his favorite things, and he could happily do that all day. After long walks and playtime, he’s perfectly content curling up for naps. Hamish is cat-friendly. He knows better than to chase them, though he occasionally gets a little carried away with sniffing and earns a gentle reminder from his feline friends. Hamish is very intelligent (named after Constable Hamish Macbeth from the beloved Scottish series). He already knows sit, lay down, and shake. Like most puppies, his follow-through still needs polishing, but he is eager to learn, highly food-motivated, and doing an amazing job so far. As a puppy, he will need continued training, structure, and socialization to help him grow into the incredible dog he’s meant to be. Because he is young and people-oriented, Hamish cannot be left alone for long hours. He is looking for an engaged, committed human who has the time and energy to invest in a bright, affectionate puppy—and who’s ready for a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventure. Hamish’s good qualities are endless, and wherever he lands, he is sure to bring immeasurable joy to his forever family. To apply to adopt Hamish, please apply through Aussie Rescue of the Mid-Atlantic (ARMA) at https://www.aussierescuemidatlantic.org

Story
Meet Olive—the Red Merle Rocket with a Heart of Gold in Search of Her Forever! Looking for a sidekick who’s equal parts athlete, genius, protector, and snuggle bug? Meet Olive—a 2-year-old, 30-pound Australian Shepherd with a full tail, a red-merle coat, and a master’s degree in being awesome. Olive is the adventure buddy of your dreams: Car rides? She’ll call shotgun. Walks and hikes? Lace up those shoes. Ball, tug, or swimming? She’s got Olympic-level enthusiasm. Training? She’s smarter than your average reality show contestant and learns new things faster than you can Google “how to tire out a herding dog.” She knows her basic obedience! Olive is crate trained (it’s her safe space) and house-trained. She’s also been exposed to dock diving and LOVES it! But let’s talk personality: Olive is playful and happy, but her love language is quality time. She doesn’t need to be in your lap every second—just near you, close enough to know she’s your number one. Now, a couple of ground rules from Olive herself: Men? Sorry, fellas, this girl prefers ladies. Quality girl time! Any men in Olive’s life will need to be gentle, kind, and have the patience of Job. Kids? Herding small humans is apparently “not acceptable,” so better to keep her world adult-only. Other pets? Also a no-go. Olive wants to be your one and only diva—and honestly, she deserves it! Apartment life? Nope. She’s a “room to roam” kind of gal. What Olive does want is an active home—someone who understands that Aussies are wired for fun, structure, and the occasional zoomie or splash. A fenced yard would be her dream playground, but what she really needs is someone willing to give her love, patience, and the occasional car ride with the windows down. From Olive (probably): “Listen, I’m cute, smart, and athletic—basically the total package. I just need someone who gets me: no men, no other pets, and plenty of walks, hikes, or games of fetch. In return, I’ll be your co-pilot, your trail buddy, your secret keeper, your best friend and maybe even your alarm clock (sorry in advance). Swipe right… I mean, apply today. Let’s make this forever thing happen!” Olive is fostered in Kingsport, TN.
