Story
Daisy is a 5 year old Australian shepherd. She has been with our family since she was a puppy. Daisy loves affection, she loves attention, and she is a very playful dog. She needs a fenced yard to run around in and does even better if she gets a daily walk but doesn't necessarily need it. She has grown up with another dog in our home and they get along well, although Daisy gets very jealous if our other dog is getting more attention than her. Daisy definitely likes to be the Queen of the home! Daisy does like to alert you (aka bark) when anyone comes to the door, she will also bark for the first few minutes after a new person comes in your home. Once she makes friends, she settles right in for some belly rubs. We are searching for a new home for Daisy because we are about to be empty-nesters and want to travel more. We don't feel its fair to her to put her in boarding for extended amounts of time. We just want to find a great home who will love her like we do!

Story
It's with a heavy heart that we are seeking to rehome our Australian Shepherd, kazuto. Unfortunately, due to an incident where he bit our baby, we have to make the difficult decision to find him a new family that can provide the right environment and attention he needs. Kazuto is an incredibly loving dog with lots of energy and a big heart. He’s four years old, enjoys cuddles, and is a very anxious boy. He’s up-to-date on vaccinations, house-trained, has lived with a cat since he was a puppy, and knows basic commands. We believe that in the right home, with proper attention, he will thrive. We are looking for someone with a child free home who can offer a loving, safe space where he can continue to be a happy, well-loved dog. If you're interested or know someone who might be a good fit, please message me for more details.

Story
Very sweet 7 yo 6m mini Aussie female, Prairie Rose, needing rehome. Originally rescued when about 2 years old. High stress/anxiety. Not long after we adopted her she bit someone in the face when they got too close to her too quickly, and another on the hand when we had someone try to come let her outside on a walk when we were away. We did about a year of consistent gentle dog training with quite a bit of improvement in behavior. Walks very well with gentle lead, though any loud noises will get her running back home. Does tend to herd, likes to walk behind you. We have kept her away from any new people/strangers and taken as many protective measures as possible, but unfortunately she gets high stress with children. She has bitten our daughter twice (face both times) when she just got too close to her walking by and happening to spook her. It breaks our heart but we do feel that it would be better for both Prairie and our family if she was in a home without children.
