Story
This sweet, soulful boy is ready for his next chapter… and we just know his perfect person is out there. Meet Jasper — a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd mix (maybe a little Border Collie, too 😉), and let’s just say… this boy is the full package. ✨ Here’s what we know about this handsome guy: • Neutered + up to date on vaccines • House trained (not a single accident 👏) • Uses a doggie door or politely waits to go out • Knows basic commands + minds well (with a few reminders 😉) • Walks well on a leash/harness • Crazy smart (like… watches TV and barks at animals smart 📺🐾😂) • Sleeps at the foot of the bed — your built-in best friend 💛 Personality: Jasper is affectionate, happy, and SO loyal. He loves his people deeply and just wants to be near you. The kind of dog who becomes your shadow… your comfort… your heart. ⚠️ What he needs: Jasper has had a tough experience with men in the past, but with patience and proper introductions, he is already making amazing progress. Because of this, his future home will need to: • Understand working breed energy & intelligence • Be patient with introductions (especially with men) • Provide structure, love, and consistency This boy is not broken — he just needs someone willing to meet him where he is and show him the world is a safe place again. And when you do? You’ll get a once-in-a-lifetime kind of dog. 🖤 The kind who watches TV with you 🖤 The kind who sleeps at your feet 🖤 The kind who will love you harder than anything 👉 If you think you could be Jasper’s person (or want to learn more), message us. 👉 Not the right fit? Please share — his person might be on your friends list. Because every dog deserves someone who sees their potential… not just their past. 🐾

Story
Turbo is a few years old Mini Australian Shepherd who is just beginning to learn what life outside of a breeder environment looks like. He startles easily and is still figuring out that the world, mostly humans, can be safe. Turbo is most comfortable in his kennel and is primarily kennel trained at this point, though he does bark from time to time and does have the occasional accident. He is housebroken for short periods but will need a patient home that understands accidents are part of the learning process and that consistency will be key to his success. Turbo is very fearful of people right now and is not the type of dog who will run up for attention from strangers. He also does poorly on a leash and is not able to walk on one at this time, so a secure setup (fenced in backyard required) and a commitment to slow, positive leash training will be important. While people are scary to him, he finds comfort in animals. He does well with cats and THRIVES around well balanced, confident dogs who can help show him the ropes and build his confidence. With time and consistency, Turbo has shown that he can form deep bonds, he has grown to love his foster mom and will climb into her lap for attention during quiet snuggle time in the house. Turbo is a sensitive, fearful dog who needs patience, structure, and kindness, but in the right home, he has the potential to continue building trust and confidence and become a deeply devoted companion. If you think you have the time and patience for a sweet pup like turbo, apply to adopt him at the link below. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdy9NUdRzsagXgNJ7xhCHp5LZnTUYFxN-2jh4HgXKTou9k-tA/viewform

Story
Meet Rico, he is 8 years old and 35lbs.   His owner has cancer and can longer care for him so he is looking for a new place to love him through the next chapter of his life.  Rico is a handsome Aussie/Terrier mix of sorts! If he was a food order he would be ordered as one medium floof nugget, with a side of smiles- tail waggin sized, with all the dippin sauces of happiness. This guy has grins that just won‘t quit, loves him some car rides, enjoys being bribed with treats for tricks, isn’t much of a kisser, and relishes all the attention he deserves to receive.  Rico loves kids and loves to play tug with them or another dog.   Rico is easy to love, gets along great with dogs and and kids. He walks good on leash and is housebroken and crate trained. He is a true gentleman and is ready for that special person(s) to give him his well-deserved furever home. He is waiting to meet you! Neutered, heartworm tested, recent dental, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for adoption!  He is hit and miss with cats so a calm cat that does not do much he would have less of an issue with.  An active cat that will hiss and get in his business is not a match.  To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $100 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs or outside kennel dogs.  We do not ship dogs.   All of our dogs are in private foster homes. We are not a shelter with hours. A visit can be arranged after an adoption questionnaire has been filled out and sent in. Please try to email first. We are all volunteers that work so we can not easily take or make phone calls.March 8, 2026, 6:28 pm
