Story
I'm Honey, a 5-month-old, 28-pound Aussie mix puppy. I was found stuck in a fence in a rural area of North Carolina when I was just a teeny tiny baby -- four or five weeks old. My owner, when found, said she didn't want me any more, but fortunately the kind soul who found me contacted a rescue organization that took me in. I have been living in a foster home, where I was adored. My foster mom says I'm sweet, adorable, and sassy -- just like a puppy should be! I love other dogs and people of all ages. I have also met farm animals (horses, cows, and pigs) and did well with them. I'm an extroverted, smart girl and learn new things quickly. I absolutely love the snow, and I enjoy playing with toys. I'm also very food motivated, so I will be easy to train. I have a lot of love to give and now just need my forever family! Please apply at https://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp, and someone will get right back to you.

Story
Stella is a friendly and intelligent dog with plenty of energy. We want her to be happy and have a space where she can run around and play with other dogs. Previously, Stella lived in the mountains of Colorado, where she enjoyed a large fenced yard and had lots of friends to play with. Now, she is living in a townhouse without a yard, which has been challenging for her. As a very active young lady, she is currently feeling unhappy. Stella is a mix of Australian Cattle Dog, Husky, German Shepherd, and Golden Retriever, and she is expected to weigh around 30 pounds. She is a loving and eager-to-learn dog who picks up new skills quickly. Stella would be an amazing agility dog, as this would engage both her mind and her need for physical activity. If agility training isn't your interest, she would also thrive in an active lifestyle with an avid walker, hiker, or runner.  Stella is a very quick learner and was immediately fully potty trained.     To ensure the best for Stella, her new owners should have a yard or live on a farm, and it would be great if they have another dog and children.  Stella has plenty of energy to add playing at home to her list of activities.    Stella has been spayed and is current on all her shots until May 2026.  To be considered for her forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Stella is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)  July 30, 2025, 9:47 pm
