This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Story
A little different. A lot of love in Kalamazoo Polaris is a stunning 8 month old Aussie pup with a story - and a heart - you won’t soon forget. Born as the result of double merle breeding, Polaris is deaf and has very limited vision. When he couldn’t be sold, he was dumped to fend for himself, along with his blind and deaf sister. But he’s since shown that he’s more than anyone expected - resilient, loving, and full of life. Despite his challenges, Polaris is a happy, affectionate pup who’s never met a stranger. He finds comfort being close to his person, especially outside, and will thrive in a home with a fenced-in yard where he can safely explore by your side. Fun Facts About Polaris *Loves to play inside - especially fetch with his ball! *Occasionally barks at things he can see, but a gentle touch and quick reassurance calms him right down. * Needs the same love, training, and exercise as any Aussie pup - he just does it his way. * Sweet, social, and ready to love big. * He loves to swing with his person on a porch swing. Polaris is looking for a furever home that understands that having special needs doesn’t mean less - just different. He is looking for his best friend; someone to take him with them and keep him by their side. Polaris is UTD on his vaccines, neutered, microchipped, and on HW and flea prevention. He currently weighs about 45#. He is housebroken; he has learned to go to the door when he needs to potty. (He will need some time, and patience, to figure out where the door is in his new home.) He is well on his way to being crate trained. He will need work with his leash skills, although he walks well beside his foster mom in the yard. If you think Polarais is the perfect pup for you, please fill out an application at https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application. There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family. Polaris is currently located in Kalamazoo, MI.

Story
URGENT Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Grosse Pointe, MI *This dog doesn’t belong to ASF and hasn’t been evaluated by ASF.* Meet Paco! is a 6-year-old Australian Shepherd and weighs 51 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, and on heartworm prevention. Paco is good with older children, farm animals, cats, and dogs! No younger children, due to his reactivity! Paco is an extremely loving and velcro dog! He goes on 2-3 runs a week, as well as has free roam of the house and fenced-in yard. He loves frisbee and walks well on a leash! He is very active during the day but turns into a couch potato at night. Paco bit the owner’s young son after he chased him around a room and tried to hug him. He also attempted to bite the neighbor’s young daughter who poked her face through the fence. The owner is surrendering him because he doesn’t do well with younger children. He needs to go by 7/11! If you think you can provide a great home for Paco, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions. This fee will be donated to Australian Shepherds Furever, for their assistance in placing Paco. The owner is willing to cover this fee for his next adopter.

Story
We love Haukea. His birthday is 12/12/19. He went to puppy play, was socialized, went to the dog park and had a yard of his own. We lived in Washington State. When he was 1yr old he fell out of the back car window. It was during covid and we rushed him to the only open animal hospital. The doctor did exploratory surgery on his front left foreleg and found nothing wrong. Four weeks later he was still not standing on his paw normally. 3 vets later, after red light laser, acupuncture, twice weekly water therapy and over $7000 he was still not able to stand on his paw normally. We gave up trying to fix it. We have recently moved to downtown Detroit into a high rise apartment. Howie doesn’t get to socialize with other dogs here and desperately wants to. He has no soft grass or real playtime. We never castrated him for ethical reasons. He always was extremely passive. Without dog parks walking only on concrete his leg injury is worse & developing a fear of otherdogs.
