Story
Meet Copper! Copper is a very sweet, active and playful guy! He is about 12-18 months old, and at his last vet visit weighed in at 51 pounds. We think Copper probably has some Australian Shepherd, along with several other breeds including possibly Belgian Shepherd. Greyhound or Carolina dog. Copper is a beautiful and happy boy. He’s lucky to be alive! Copper came to us from the shelter at a time when he was minutes from losing his life because he had an upper respiratory infection. We are so glad he is with us now, and we will find his perfect forever home for him! Copper does well in a crate, he also does well on a leash. Copper would love to be a hiking or running buddy! His foster mom said he is doing well at learning house training. Copper loves to play with his doggy friends especially tug-of-war with the big rope toys and will do wonderful at a daycare or dog park with other active and playful dogs!

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Valkyrie, Kyrie for short, is a female, blue merle, 5 year old Australian Shepherd who we've had ever since she was about 8 weeks. My wife and I welcomed our own little one into our house and unfortunately, Kyrie is showing aggression. We have tried different training and behavioral tactics to help support her. Ultimately, we decided she deserves a better life and home with less stress. She has been the most sweet, amazing dog. She has been trained on basic commands and is very calm most of the day. She is active and loves hikes, long walks, and the snow. Housebroken, spayed, up to date on vaccines. She does best with adults and older children. Kyrie is dog-reactive and is selective of what other animals she gets along well with due to being a victim of a bad dog attack when she was a puppy. She loves people. We are looking for a home for her ideally with adults only (potentially older children) who will love her as much as we do.

Story
In Estell Manor, NJ - Meet Dusty, this handsome boy is so SWEET! He was found as a stray and taken to a local shelter in Ohio. He had a limp and it was discovered he had Lyme Disease which was causing the limp and he had internal parasites. He has been treated for both and is back to being a healthy, energetic young dog. Even while Dusty was at the shelter, confused and I'm sure a bit scared, he was described as being a doll and super sweet. The vet doesn't believe he is even a year old yet he's estimated to be 1-2 years old. He was only 38lbs when he came into to the shelter but he should probably be closer to 50lbs. He is still working on putting healthy weight back on and is doing well. His fur is soft and very wavy. I don't know for certain but my best guess based on looks that he is some type of doodle, either Aussie/poodle mix or Border Collie/Poodle mix or all 3 lol. If he is a poodle mix his coat type would NOT be considered hypoallergenic. He has been very good with dogs and cats, just very excited so he can be a little much for older or laid back dogs and he is crate trained. He has had no issues with our dog savvy 3yr old but he’s basically a big puppy that no one has taught anything too so in his excitement he will knock kids over by accident but he’s not bad just excited, goofy and sweet. He could definitely use some basic obedience training just like any other puppy but he will make an excellent He is currently located in South Jersey. If This sweet boy sounds perfect for your family, please fill out our application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new family. All adoption fees are used for futur3e rescue efforts.
