Story
Bear is a 4 year old Australian Shepherd who is incredibly smart, affectionate, and full of energy. He is the kind of dog who wants to be involved in everything you do and will happily soak up all the love and attention you can give. When his needs are met, he is a super cuddly companion who truly enjoys being close to his people. As an Australian Shepherd, Bear needs an active lifestyle and plenty of mental and physical outlets. He would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard where he can run, play, and burn off energy, along with daily walks and ongoing engagement. An experienced, very active home that understands working breeds would be the best fit for him. Bear must go to a home with no kids. He does live with another dog. He does very well at daycare and boarding. On leash, he can be reactive and will bark at other dogs, as well as at the TV and out the window, so continued structure and guidance will help him succeed. Bear is looking for a committed home that can give him the exercise, enrichment, and affection he deserves. In return, he will give endless loyalty, cuddles, and companionship. Adoption fee is $350+tax, please apply at www.campcompanion.org

Story
I have a 5 year old (as of Nov 2025) Australian Shepherd female dog. She was given to me for Christmas as a puppy when she was 10 weeks old (they bought her from a farm in Iowa for $600) but I have a difficult time finding care for her each month that I have drill for the National Guard and it has unfortunately been quite a burden on my life. I believe she’s ok with other animals as she has been at my sisters who has a dog and cat. Her dog and my dog get along well. She has had pet health insurance so she is all up to date on all vaccines and she is healthy and great weight. She would do great in a active setting. She knows basic commands such as sit, lay down, stay, shake. Please reach out if you are interested. I will be cautious in selection to make sure she well cared for. Her kennel, toys, treats, extra food will all be included! I also had her DNA; she’s 90% Australian shepherded and 10% miniature Aussie. Location: Rochester, MN $100– willing to negotiate:) Thank you!❤️❤️❤️

Story
Hudson is a true Mini Aussie at heart. He is incredibly loyal and happiest when he has a job to do or a person to focus on. Once he trusts you, his devotion is unmatched and he will stick by your side with his whole heart. He loves going for walks and enjoys the calm one on one time this brings him. At home, Hudson takes his role as protector seriously. He will always let you know when someone is near the house, including delivery drivers and truck drivers. Even with his alert nature, his soft side shines through every day. His favorite moments are when he can snuggle close with his person for quiet affection. Hudson gets along well with most dogs and cats, though he prefers calmer animals who respect his signals. High energy dogs that push his boundaries are not a good match for him and no young children. Hudson is ready for someone who understands his breed, appreciates his loyalty, and can offer the steady home he thrives in. Adoption fee is $350+tax, please apply at www.campcompanion.org

Story
Meet Nora 🤍 an Australian Shepherd mix with the softest, gentlest soul. Nora is both hearing and sight impaired, but she is incredibly smart and learns new things quickly with kind, patient guidance. She experiences the world through touch and closeness, and she truly thrives when she’s near her humans while she explores and plays. When you pet her, she completely melts into your hands and soaks up every bit of affection. Nora is calm and chill, much more laid-back than your typical Aussie, and she’s an absolute dream in her crate, sleeping like a rock through the night. She enjoys human interaction, gentle play, and being guided as she learns about her surroundings. Nora is working on potty training and continues to make progress. She is a truly special dog who will do best with someone ready to offer love, patience, and connection.

Story
Meet Noble! Noble doesn’t see or hear the world the way we do—but he feels it with every ounce of his soul. Although he is deaf and mostly blind, it doesn’t slow him down. This little guy is a ball of pure joy, chasing shadows, zooming around the yard, and following his favorite humans like the most loyal sidekick ever. Life with Noble is full speed, full fun, and full love. He’s a social butterfly who plays nicely with other dogs, respects his feline friends, and absolutely adores kids. Noble is still mastering “Puppy 101”—potty training, leash skills, and crate manners—but his eagerness to learn is endless. Could you be the one he’s been waiting to follow home?

Story
Meet Nettie 💕 Nettie is a playful, friendly, and affectionate Aussie puppy with a heart as big as her personality. She is visually and hearing impaired, but that doesn’t slow her down one bit. She navigates her world incredibly well, rarely bumping into things, and is excellent at following her humans and dog friends wherever the fun is happening. She absolutely adores kids and always wants to be right in the middle of the action and makes sure she’s not left out of anything she decides is important (or fun!) She loves playing with toys, wrestling with her dog friends, and going on long walks to burn off her happy puppy energy. Nettie is crate trained and does very well, and she has also been working hard on her house training. One extra perk of Nettie being deaf? When she sleeps, she really sleeps — loud noises, barking dogs, vacuums, and busy households don’t bother her at all. She also makes excellent eye contact, which makes training with hand signals a great option. Resources and support for sign-language-style training would happily be shared with her future family. Nettie is a joyful, loving pup who is ready to bring laughter, cuddles, and endless affection to a home that will celebrate just how special she is. 🐾💖 Apply to adopt Nettie at www.tailsofhopewi.org!
