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
Hi, my name is Horchata and I am a four month old mini Aussie mix. I am both deaf and blind as my parents were both merles. I love to run and play and have energy that can last for days. I am starting to learn how to walk on a leash and try to walk myself at times. I don't usually run into objects once I get my bearings but sometimes my excitement gets me to knock into things I normally miss. I am still a puppy so I am not potty trained yet and I do like to teeth on anything and everything. My ideal family would be one that will understand that I have disabilities but still include me in everything a regular dog would do. I would do really well with older kids that are used to puppies and can watch out for me as I can be a trip hazard as I can't see. I would also do well with dogs my size or with calm dogs in general as I do not want to get stepped on. I will come UTD on shots microchipped and neutered.

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
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.
