Story
JOY is just that!!! Pure joy! Sadly surrendered when her elderly owner passed away and family didn't want to take her on as she is deaf so special home where she can be kept safe and not wander away is preferred. House-trained and ready to please - we need someone that would love the unconditional love and devotion she has to offer. ANYBODY who knows Aussies, knows how smart they are. She's a shelter staff favorite and is sure to be yours too. Family stated she did not get along with their dogs but she does seem to ignore them here. - so it could have been just too much initial change in her recent life

Story
Laika is a beautiful 6-year-old red Merle Mini Australian Shepherd. She has been with us since she was 8 weeks old, and it breaks our heart to have to seek a new home for her. She has struggled to adapt since the birth of our child, and as baby becomes more mobile this strain is becoming more and more evident. Laika is a sweet and sassy girl who is eager to please and does best with adequate stimulation and exercise. She would be best served with owners who are experienced with this breed. She loves swimming in shallow water, hikes, ice cubes, and anywhere she can run wide open. She is very intelligent and treat-motivated. She knows basic commands, is housebroken, crate-trained, and does not chew or exhibit other destructive behaviors. She can be protective over her food and her crate, and can be nippy in these circumstances. She has lived with cats, who she tolerates but herds. She gets along with dogs she is familiar with. She should absolutely NOT be in a home with young children.
