Theo

Australian Shepherd Australian Shepherd

Male, Senior

Whitehouse Station, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Say hello to Theo, a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with the softest ears and at the sweetest personality. Theo is happiest when hes getting lots of attention, lots of activity, and lots of treats. Theo is afraid of other dogs he doesn't know, so he would thrive in a quieter, rural or suburban home with a fenced yard and few canine neighbors, where he can relax, explore, and not run into dogs around every corner. He has gotten along well with other resident dogs--he just needs a slow, careful introduction period. Hes a classic herding dog wants to be by your side and wants to join you in the garden in the summer and in the garage in the winter. He would do well with an experienced dog owner, and even better with someone who has experience with and love for herding dogs. He is good with all humans, whether friends or strangers, but he is shy at first. Once hes comfortable, Theos true personality shines: *Eager to pleaseand loves to learn*Loves a good stuffed boneor an antlerand isnt a counter surfer*Housebrokenand doesnt see the point of a crate *Enjoys hikesand keeping the yard free of chipmunks*Favorite phrase:Lets go! Theo is currently in Jersey City, NJ, but city life isnt his thing, as close encounters with other dogs make him anxious. When he feels overwhelmed, he will bark or lunge, so in the city he wears a basket muzzle on walks as a precaution to prevent an inadvertent bite from his reactivity or redirection. He has lived with another dog before and might do well with the right match, but hed be perfectly happy as an only pet in a consistent home where he can just be himself. Theo has not been cat tested. If you think your home might be the right fit for Theo, you can learn more or apply through Rogers Rescues. We will happily consider out-of-area adopters for Theo. If you are interested in adopting a dog, please fill out our application. Meetings will not be scheduled without an application. Please visit our website www.rogersrescues.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Marmaduke

Australian Shepherd German Shepherd Dog

Male, 1 yr 5 mos

Bedminster, NJ

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Marmaduke is a big goofy lovebug! He adores children and other dogs. He is very curious about cats and chickens and is probably best in a home without those (or where he can be separated from them). He is only about 1 year old and has been in rescue all his life. He had a medical issue as a puppy that required surgery and he is completely healed from that. He will do best in a home with a secure fenced yard, another dog or dogs to play with that are not tiny since he's so big, and respectful animal-loving children that will love him as much as he loves them. If you are interested in Marmaduke, please fill out an application at our website: forrescue.net He is fostered in the Huntsville, AL area and could be available for transport but transport fees are on top of the adoption fee.

Oliver

Australian Shepherd

Male, Young

Staten Island, NY

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Oliver is a young 3.5 year old mini Australian Shepherd, we raised him since he was just about 2 months old. He is has been a great boy and learnt a lot, he is a quick learner and needs lots of attention. We love him but unfortunately dont have the time to care for him anymore due to the fact that we own another dog and have busy schedules. Oliver needs a spacious home and lots of grass to run around in. We prefer Oliver to be the only pet in the house because he needs a lot of time and gets jealous, although Oliver does love kids so that is also important for us. We have children and Oliver gets along with them and plays so nicely. Our goal for Oliver is to join a family that can give him an amazing life and care for all his needs. Please only request if we meet all each others needs. And you don't have any plans on getting any other pets. Thanks, looking forward to hearing from you

Lutz

Australian Shepherd Poodle (Standard)

Female, 2 mos

Lake Hiawatha, NJ

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

WISE is entirely volunteer-run and all of the donations made to our rescue go directly back to the animals in our care. By partnering with veterinary practices that support our work, we are able to save animals lives and restore them back to health. While some animals only need standard care, others require more extensive veterinary or behavioral care. Regardless of which dog you are applying for, we are looking for adopters to support our program with a minimum donation of $850. The donation may or may not be directly applied to care of the dog you're adopting but rather goes toward supporting all of the dogs in the rescue. We appreciate the understanding of our potential adopters. Please keep this in mind prior to applying.NAME: LutzBREED: Australian Shepherd x PoodleDOB: Dec 8, 2025GENDER: femaleHome Recommendation: Lutz would do best in a home that can provide a safe, structured, and loving environment. A puppy-proofed space, a consistent routine, and patience for training are important. Adelaide will do best in a home that can keep her active and engaged, where she can burn off her energy and show off her playful, adventurous spirit. An active home that can offer supervision, playtime, and positive reinforcement will help her grow into a confident, well-adjusted dog.Personality: Lutz has the sweetest, most affectionate personality. Shes incredibly friendly and loves being around her people, always happiest when shes being held or snuggled close. She thrives on attention and isnt shy about asking for extra cuddles. Despite her love for being carried, she also has a playful side and enjoys spending time with other dogs. She plays very nicely with other dogs, showing gentle manners and a fun, easygoing spirit. Lutz is the perfect mix of loving companion and playful friend.KIDS: YesDOGS: YesCATS: YesTraining: Lutz is currently working on basic puppy skills, including potty training, crate training, and leash exposure. She is learning household routines and will benefit from consistency, positive reinforcement, and continued practice. With patience and structure, she will continue to make great progress.WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Puppy mills overbreed to the point where they produce more dogs than they can sell. Dogs like Lutz were rejected for reasons ranging from birth defects, being born with the wrong color fur or eyes, or just simply because no one wanted to purchase them. When the dogs are not sold, the puppy mills destroy them, and it is legal to do so. WISE has recently partnered with a group to save these unwanted dogs - healthy, unhealthy, and/or with birth defects - who are destined to be killed for no reason.Visit WiseAnimalRescue.org to fill out an adoption application.Adoption areas include: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maine, Vermont, Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire.

He picks up on routines and expectations quickly and is always watching and learning. While he enjoys doing his own thing, he definitely has a playful side and loves chewing on his toys, playing tag, and bursting into the occasional round of zoomies. He has a big appetite and is excellent at communicating his needs.

He understands which areas are off-limits and will calmly wait in an approved space if you step away for a few minutes. Although hes still a puppy and needs guidance, he shows a level of awareness and self-control that is truly special for his age.WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Puppy mills overbreed to the point where they produce more dogs than they can sell.
