Story
🐾 Looking for the right forever home for Gemini 🐾This is Gemini, a Lab/Australian Shepherd mix and one of the biggest lover boys you’ll ever meet. ❤️Making this post is incredibly hard, but I’m looking for a home where Gemini can have the life he truly deserves. I’m not looking to simply give him away to the first person who asks. I will be selective about where he goes because I want to know that he is going to a safe, loving, committed home.A little about my boy:Birthday: June 12th 🐾🐶 Black Lab/Australian Shepherd mix 💙 Not neutered👧 Great with children🐕 Not good with male dogs, so he would do best as the only male dog. Fine with small dogs. 🐱 Unknown with cats🏡 Needs a home with a yard. 🎾 LOVES toys, fetch and playing, and being in the water! Knows basic commands. Sit. Lay. Come. 🦮 LOVES going for walks❤️ An absolute big-time cuddle bug and lover boy! 🙂‍↕️Potty trained!Will be selective who he goes to. He’s a great dog deserving of a good life. 🥹

Story
Did I catch your eye? I can definitely say that you caught mine! I am the life of the party! Always there to keep you active and keep you laughing. I`m looking for someone who can keep up with my quirkiness and energy! I am still working on my manners, but would love to continue working by your side! Happiness is not by chance, but by choice. Can we find happiness together? Dog Compatibility: I would do best with a similar sized dog of the opposite sex; supervised introductions recommended!Cat Compatibility: History unknown; slow introductions recommended!Child Compatibility: Ask about my previous history; I can meet kids 10+!Housing Needs: Secure fenced yard required.From: Lassen County Animal Shelter

Story
Newt is a big, goofy, affectionate 2-year-old, 80-lb. good boy who we believe is a Great Pyrenees mix, possibly with Husky or Aussie. He’s incredibly smart, eager to please, crate-trained, knows basic commands, and has completed obedience training.Newt has lived happily with our toddler and cat. He has never bitten, snapped at, or shown aggression toward a person or animal. His biggest challenges are excitement, anxiety, and impulse control. He can pull or lunge toward people and dogs on walks and sometimes approaches unfamiliar men barking, which can be intimidating given his size.Newt loves being with his people and has never tried to escape our fenced yard. We think he would thrive with an experienced, active owner who can provide consistency, exercise, structure, and continued training. He has so much potential, and we’re committed to finding him the right home where he can truly thrive.

Story
Basil is a 3-year-old Brittany/Australian Shepherd mix who is a really sweet dog but has high attention needs. We adopted him as a puppy and have loved him a lot, but since having a child and with another on the way, his energy levels have become difficult to manage in our home. It is very difficult for us, but we feel it’s in both his and our best interests to find him a home where he can get the exercise and attention he thrives on.Basil is:• A sweet dog with high attention needs• Mostly past his previous chewing issues• High-energy and loves to let off steam• Much better behaved after running around• Pulls on the leash and needs re-trainingBasil is a wonderful companion for someone who has the time to provide regular attention and ideally a yard where he can run. We are looking for an experienced adopter who can continue his training and give him the loving care he deserves.💰 Rehoming fee: $50

Igris

Border Collie Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 1 yr 2 mos
Reno, NV
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This is Igris. He is not sure how he got in this situation. One day he was chatting with his buddies and the next he found himself in a new place. Indie is a smart guy who just needs a little bit of encouragement to be a best boy. He would do best in a home with no cats and a family who will help reinforce the things he has learned. Igris is a bit slow to warm up to new people and places and has a great deal of energy to burn (both physical and mental). He will benefit from seeing a trainer to give you both some tools for a happy life and cool adventures together. Getting a dog is a long term commitment which begins in steps. Igris will take 3 days to begin to settle into a new home with new people and 3 weeks to start to feel like the home is his. It may take 3 months for your relationship to begin to feel like the real thing. It all starts with a meeting and a pup cup...are you ready to make a long term commitment? Igris is!

Story
Meet Zac – The Sweetest Soul You'll Ever Earn the Trust Of ❤️Zac is a goofy, loving, playful puppy with a heart as big as his paws. His favorite things are romping around with other dogs, curling up in a cozy bed, and happily chewing on his favorite toys. Like any puppy, he's still learning his manners; and he's making wonderful progress every day.What makes Zac truly special is how far he's come.When Zac arrived at Boxers and Buddies, the world was a frightening place. He had spent his entire life isolated in the home where he was born and had never experienced the outside world. Everything was unfamiliar, and everyone was scary. For the first two weeks in foster care, he hid behind the fireplace, too afraid to come out.Then something amazing happened.His foster dog siblings showed him that life could be fun. Little by little, Zac found the courage to explore, to play, and eventually to trust. Today, he enjoys off-leash hikes, greets visitors with curiosity, and has become a happy, affectionate companion to the people he knows and loves.Zac is still discovering that the world is a safe place, and every new experience helps him grow. He'll thrive in a patient, understanding home that will let him move at his own pace. If you're willing to give him the time he needs, you'll be rewarded with an incredibly loyal best friend who will love you with his whole heart.Some dogs are easy to love at first sight. Zac is the kind of dog whose love is earned; but once you've earned it, it's truly unforgettable.If you have a gentle heart, another friendly dog would be a wonderful bonus, and you're looking for a companion whose transformation will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life, Zac is waiting to meet you.We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.
