Story
Meet Toby!! Tobys story starts like far too many in Houston abandoned on the streets, struggling to survive, painfully thin with raw, irritated skin. Despite everything hes been through, he never lost his gentle spirit. Thanks to an incredible foster, Toby was given the chance to heal, and today hes healthy, happy, and officially finished with heartworm treatment. Now, hes ready for what hes always deserved: a forever home. Now for the best part - Toby himself. Toby is what we lovingly call a stage-five clinger. He thrives on affection and wants to be as close to his person as possible. After a hard start to life, he’s learning that love is here to stay, and that reassurance means everything to him. With time and security, his foster is confident he’ll settle into a more balanced independence but for now, expect a loyal shadow. True to his Australian Shepherd roots, Toby is incredibly smart, athletic, a great swimmer, and eager to engage. Toys are his passion if there’s something he can carry around proudly in his mouth, he will. Hes also an excellent running partner; his foster mom is training for a marathon, and Toby easily keeps pace for five miles and beyond. An active home that enjoys exercise and mental stimulation is a must for this guy. Toby is already potty trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands. Hes still polishing his manners (especially when excitement leads to jumping), but he’s eager to learn and quick to catch on. He loves kids including toddlers and does great with other dogs, especially playful companions. While hes friendly and social, he’d do best with a dog who wants to be his buddy rather than a dominant “boss.” Toby is pure heart. He rides beautifully in the car, walks nicely on leash, and wants nothing more than to be included in everyday life with his people. He’s affectionate, joyful, and endlessly loyal the kind of dog who makes your house feel like home. If you’re looking for a devoted adventure partner and lifelong best friend, Toby might just be your perfect match. Toby is fostered in Houston, Texas, but is available for adoption across many states. Transport is included in the adoption fee.

HDDCR requires a spay/neuter contract by the adopter if puppies and kittens in our care are too young for sterilization. This is a form the adopter signs at the time of adoption, confirming that they will get the pet spayed/neutered by a certain date. We will hold a $50 deposit on top of the adoption fee until we receive proof from a veterinarian that the dog was spayed/neutered. The $50 deposit will then be returned to the adopter.&#226&#128&#139 Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to    Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The adopter's information is added once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a    $19.99/Year registration fee or a $45.00/Lifetime registration fee    to change information.   Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.

He becomes hyper active, and we have a Down syndrome kid that is not able to share anything with him, and that makes the dog more active with him. The dog is still puppy on his brain, do not byte, but you need to watch to not be scratched with his nails. Loves to jump on all people. Never get tired.

Story
Charlie is a 9 year old purebred Australian Shepherd. He would be best suited in a home without other dogs or small children. Ideally, I would love him to go to a farm or a home with a big yard, but he would be just as happy in any home. He’s a very happy dog and very smart.

Story
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. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)

Story
Age: 1 year Breed: Border Collie mix Sex: Male Weight: 40 lbs Energy Level: Moderate/Still building confidence Jesse is a tenderhearted young Collie mix who recently made the trip from Kentucky to his foster home in southeast Michigan — where the snow was a big new experience! Despite all the changes in his world, Jesse has shown himself to be incredibly gentle, quiet, and people-oriented. He loves pets and is warming up well to his foster family. As he gains confidence, he is starting to show more of his playful puppy energy and behaviors, but he responds well to structure and redirection. Jesse is naturally curious but still finding his confidence. He has begun going on short walks, and he uses a leash well for bathroom breaks while he continues to learn that the world outside is a safe place. With encouragement and routine, he’s already making steady progress. He is crate-trained, sleeps quietly through the night, and has done very well when left alone. This boy is also potty-trained and knows basic cues like “sit” and “no.” Jesse is very food-motivated, which makes training rewarding and fun. Jesse is one of those rare, young dogs who comes with a naturally calm, gentle presence. He’s affectionate, eager to learn, and incredibly resilient for all he's been through. He does have a herding instinct, which he has displayed toward cats and toward young children. He is gentle with the foster family’s four-year-old, but his herding behavior can be overwhelming for small kids. Because of this, he may be best in a home without cats or very young children. With time, consistency, and love, his personality will continue to blossom, and he’ll repay you with loyalty, sweetness, and endless cuddles. Neutered and up to date on vaccinations. Jesse Facts: - Quiet; not a barker (though might give out a few yips when excited about a treat) - No chewing tendencies observed - Good with baths and handling - Nervous in new situations but adapts with support - Good history with other dogs (per previous foster), though he hasn’t met any in his current home yet - Jesse has shown some herding/prey-drive behaviors toward cats, so he would do best in a cat-free home - Has shown playful herding behavior toward young children; may do best in a home without small kids Please visit Jesse and his friends on our web page. https://www.midwestbordercollierescue.org/alldogs
