Story
This is Tess. She is a 3 year old aussie mix and is being returned due to divorce. She is very sweet with other humans, but is not the best with other dogs or kids. She has not been around cats, so we are not able to know if she is good with them. She is house broken, leash trained and knows basic commands. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, dewormed and has been to the vet recently for her check up. She is hoping to find a home sooner then later. She is looking for a home to fit her needs. Please apply if you think you do.

Story
**Located in Korea** Rescue Story: Prince Hans is a remarkable dog with an even more remarkable story. Rescued from deplorable conditions at a gas station, he endured a life of neglect, tied up and surviving on coffee and food scraps. His life took a turn for the better when a compassionate resident, who had cared for him and another dog named Sleeping Beauty, stepped in to save them from an uncertain and bleak future. Physical Description: Prince Hans is a medium-sized mixed-breed dog with striking features. His coat is a handsome blend of caramel and white, with soulful brown eyes that speak volumes of his resilience and longing for a loving home. Personality: Energy Level: Prince Hans is a calm and gentle soul, scoring a 4 on the energy scale. He enjoys a leisurely pace and appreciates a peaceful environment. Barking: You'll hardly hear a peep from Prince Hans. He's a quiet and composed companion who prefers to listen and observe. Leash Manners: After three months of dedicated training, Prince Hans has transformed from a strong leash-puller into a well-behaved walker. He now strolls calmly by your side, making walks a pleasure for both of you. Appetite: Prince Hans has a hearty appetite and eagerly devours his meals. He's not a picky eater and enjoys a well-balanced diet. Bathing: While he may not particularly enjoy bath time, Prince Hans patiently stands still. He's a cooperative dog who understands that some things are part of the grooming routine. Treats and Walks: Prince Hans lights up when it's treat time or time for a leisurely walk. These are some of his favorite activities, and you'll see his excitement shine through during these moments. Otherwise, he's content to lounge quietly and relax. Training: Prince Hans already knows commands like "Sit" and "Stay," which is a testament to his intelligence and eagerness to please. He's a quick learner and is ready to embark on further training adventures with his new family. Ideal Home: Prince Hans would thrive in a calm and loving home where he can continue to heal from his past experiences. He's a perfect fit for individuals or families seeking a loyal and low-energy companion who appreciates the simple pleasures in life. He would do well in a home with a secure yard for leisurely strolls and playtime. Adoption Notes: Prince Hans has come a long way from the gas station where he was found. He's a survivor with a heart of gold, and all he's looking for now is a forever home filled with love, patience, and understanding. If you're ready to open your heart to this resilient and gentle soul, Prince Hans will reward you with unwavering loyalty and a lifetime of companionship. Adopt Prince Hans and give him the loving family he so deserves. ALL adoptions require a completed application and final contract. The application can be found at  WaldosRescue.org  and once you are approved to adopt you will be put in touch with the foster to see if it’s a good match. We are a RESCUE not a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We are unable to contact every applicant for every dog.  We will select the best applicant for each dog, based on the dogs needs. Waldos Rescue Pen is a 501c3 whose primary focus is rescuing dogs from the euthanasia list from high kill shelters throughout the United States. ##1839561##

Story
Bella is a 3yo unspayed purebred Australian Shepherd. She is unfixed. Bella is very sweet; she's very affectionate and will likely attach to you quickly. In true velcro dog fashion, she will lay at your feet while you're studying or watching television. She is also not a barker; many times we will be home and I will be on the phone and my friends/family marvel at how they cannot tell that she is right there with me, lol. If someone is at the door, she will not bark, but just go over to the door and stand there, waiting to see who it is. She also has a lot of every and makes a great run companion; she enjoys long walks as it helps her to burn off her excess energy. She is house-trained as well as potty-trained. She does not have any health issues and is well-socialized with other dogs. She enjoys going to the dog park and alternating between running and chasing, lol. We live in the NYC-area so if you are interested in scheduling a meet-and-greet to see if this would be a good fit, lmk.

Story
Meet Malachai! 5-Year-Old • Male • Mini Australian Shepherd • 28 lbs Calling all Aussie lovers! Malachai is a total heartthrob with movie-star looks and a personality to match. This confident, playful, and outgoing guy is full of life—and fluff! A high-energy supermodel with serious herding instincts and a passion for fetch, Malachai would thrive with an active person or family who can keep up with his zest for life. He’s the ultimate workout buddy—whether it’s running, hiking, or agility training, Malachai is ready to be your energetic sidekick. He’s whip-smart, eager to please, and learns quickly with consistent guidance and structure. That said, Malachai is a classic Aussie: he needs a job and plenty of structured, daily exercise to be his best self. Without it, he’ll let you know—he can get vocal and excited on walks, especially when the leash comes out, so he’s still working on polite leash manners. Malachai currently lives with three other high-energy dogs, but he prefers to be the center of attention. He would do best as the “one and only,” though he might do well with a single, energetic female dog who matches his drive and doesn’t mind sharing the spotlight. No cats, please. He’s good with kids, but due to his herding tendencies, a home with older children (12+) or adults only would be ideal. Malachai is looking for a home in the suburbs or countryside with a securely fenced yard and, most importantly, someone who understands the Australian Shepherd mindset: intelligent, driven, and full of heart. With the right person by his side, Malachai is ready to shine. If you're an active, breed-savvy person who’s ready for an adventure partner and cuddle bug all in one, Malachai just might be your perfect match.

Meet Ghost!  -  3-Year-Old Male Blue Merle Mini Australian Shepherd • 13-15 lbs Sweet, soulful, and a little sensitive—that’s Ghost . This gorgeous lil’ boy can be skittish and nervous when meeting new people or dogs , and sometimes a little snarky because the “unknown” feels scary & spooky. But give him a little time and patience—especially off leash—and he quickly warms up and shows his true affectionate, playful side. Ghost would really benefit from a home with another confident, friendly dog of similar size to help boost his confidence. Once he feels secure, his silly, happy personality shines through—and you’ll see just how much fun he is. He’s also an expert fetcher and would thrive with someone who understands his breed and can provide the daily activity, structure, and enrichment he needs. &#226&#156&#168 About Ghost: 13-15 lbs of Aussie smarts & sweetness Shy/skittish at first, but warms up with time Needs a small, confident dog buddy for support Kid & cat friendly once comfortable Loves fetch, playtime, and outdoor adventures Apartment or house sized, as long as exercise needs are met Ghost may start out shy, but with the right family, he’ll blossom into your loyal shadow, snuggle buddy, and adventure partner. All he needs is someone who believes in him. For an Application, please send an email to: INFO@TAILSOFLOVERESCUE.ORG  October 12, 2025, 8:22 am
