Story
Paisley is a great dog! When she gets attached to someone she really connects with them. She loves to play! The only reason we need to find her a new home is she does not get along with our other dog when we are in the room. She gets territorial over us so we ask that anyone who adopts her has no other pets for her safety and anyone else’s safety

Story
If you're looking for a dog that is goofy and loves to snuggle, Blizzard is the one! She is a very sweet Australian Shepherd/Lab mix and has been an incredible addition to our family. She's great with kids and has been around 7 and 8 year olds during her time with us. She lets the kids wrestle with her on the floor, but never gets too rough (usually just lays there and takes it). Unfortunately, our family is going through some changes and we no longer can provide a home that Blizzard and her sister, Maple, deserve. We're hoping to find a family that is ready to take on a younger dog and give Blizzard the love that she deserves!

Story
Maple (brown nose) and Blizzard (white nose) are sisters from the same litter. The sisters have lived together for their entire lives so far. So we'd like to keep the two of them together if possible. They both are very sweet Australian Shepherd/Lab mixes and have been an incredible addition to our family. They're great with kids and have been around a 7 and 8 year old during their time with us. They both let the kids wrestle with them on the floor, but never get too rough for the kids. Be careful though, they might intrude into your personal space if you're not a snuggler!! Unfortunately, our family is going through some changes and we no longer can provide a home that Maple and her sister, Blizzard, deserve. We're hoping to find a family that has plenty of room for the sisters to run and burn off all the energy that builds up being a shepherd mix.

Story
Ready to go nuts for Pistachio? Say hello to Pistachio, a young shepherd mix bursting with energy, personality, and a whole lot of love to give! At just around a year old, Pistachio is a wiggle butt and doesn’t sit still for long when out & about. At home he’s as cuddly as he is fluffy. He’s learning the art of settling with routine & consistency thanks to his foster who has professional dog training experience. We don’t know his exact breed mix but we suspect he has some type of herding genes. A home without young kids would be best. Pistachio gets along well with other playful pups and would be thrilled to have a tolerant or equally energetic doggy sibling—or he’ll happily take all your attention as a solo sidekick. He’s the perfect fit for an active person that’s willing to maintain the structure he’s accustomed to and continue working on basic obedience. His foster is also more than willing to offer training support after adoption as well. Pistachio is housebroken, crate trained, & rides well in a car. Pistachio is UTD on vaccines, kept on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, neutered & microchipped. His adoption fee is $300. If you are interested in adopting, please go to our website and fill out an application. www.thefosterdoghouse.org/adopt

Story
Stella is a friendly and intelligent dog with plenty of energy. We want her to be happy and have a space where she can run around and play with other dogs. Previously, Stella lived in the mountains of Colorado, where she enjoyed a large fenced yard and had lots of friends to play with. Now, she is living in a townhouse without a yard, which has been challenging for her. As a very active young lady, she is currently feeling unhappy. Stella is a mix of Australian Cattle Dog, Husky, German Shepherd, and Golden Retriever, and she is expected to weigh around 30 pounds. She is a loving and eager-to-learn dog who picks up new skills quickly. Stella would be an amazing agility dog, as this would engage both her mind and her need for physical activity. If agility training isn't your interest, she would also thrive in an active lifestyle with an avid walker, hiker, or runner.  Stella is a very quick learner and was immediately fully potty trained.     To ensure the best for Stella, her new owners should have a yard or live on a farm, and it would be great if they have another dog and children.  Stella has plenty of energy to add playing at home to her list of activities.    Stella has been spayed and is current on all her shots until May 2026.  To be considered for her forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Stella is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)  July 30, 2025, 9:47 pm

Story
Hi, my name is Zara! I am a beautiful gray and white 3-year-old Australian Shepherd Poodle mix. While ladies typically don’t disclose their weight, I am about 50 lbs. If you are a smart and active person or couple looking to adopt a dog with a similar temperament, then we could be a great match! I love going for walks and would appreciate having someone who can incorporate that into my daily routine. Getting outside for exercise is something I enjoy, and I would also make an excellent running companion. Visiting the park or going on hikes would be a lot of fun, too! Not to brag, but I believe I'm quite a looker, and I’m confident that if you took me to the park, we would make lots of friends together. While I love people, I am not used to being around other dogs, so a dog park wouldn’t be suitable for me. However, I’m always up for hanging out where the people are! I’m also a bit too energetic for young children; I sometimes forget that I'm bigger than they are and might accidentally knock them over. It would be wonderful if someone in the household could work from home, as I am crate-trained but don't like spending long hours alone. I thrive on human interaction and am seeking a loving home.  I promise to return your love! If you would like to be considered for my forever family, please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com. Please note that an approved application and adoption fee are required. (I am currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)    July 30, 2025, 9:47 pm
