Story
Lex is super sweet and gentle.  He is great with other dogs and children.  Unfortunately, he tested positive for Cushings Disease.  Basically, that means he has to be on medication.  Other than that, he is such a wonderful, easy dog.  He weighs 42 pounds and would love your New Best Friend. ##1995044##

Story
Foster notes, 4/17/24:Rocky is a sweet, loving, and very simple dog. He is the most happy when he is just hanging out with his family, getting lots of belly rubs, and going on walks. He doesn’t know how to play with toys but we are working on that! He is house trained and knows the command sit. He walks extremely well on the leash. He never barks and he is well-behaved when left alone. We typically take him out on the leash to go to the bathroom 3-4 times a day and that has worked perfectly for him. He does not like to be locked in his crate but he does sleep in his crate when we are not home and during the night. Rocky does have a little separation anxiety. He is a little hesitant around other dogs and tends to assert his alpha status. His typical mannerism is to sit and stare at the other dogs for long periods of time, or move in front of us and quietly growl to “protect” us. Although we have had no major aggression issues, we can obviously tell he would like to be the only dog in the household. We are working on limiting this behavior though! Rocky has become my best friend in the last two weeks and I really hope we can find him his forever home because he deserves it!!

Story
We are looking for a BETTER place for our 2 year old Miniature Aussie- Saint. His behavior can be “ sporadic”  with people, children and other dogs.He is very smart and loves to play fetch with his favorite blue ball! Especially at grandmas house where he has a big fenced in back yard to run around lots( grandma has three little doggies which he seems to do fine with most of the time, he also has other doggies cousins that are larger breeds and has played fine with them). We are heartbroken to even have to be considering rehoming him but we feel his sporadic reactivity that sometimes turns into aggression is happening because he is in the wrong environment (city/ apartment living- makes it hard to take on walks because he reacts to people and other doggies randomly , young kids and our long work hours). We got a mini dachshund thinking it would help if he had a playmate but he tends to play rough with his brother at times as well.  He does tend to mind better with my husband over myself. I feel he would flourish with an owner who is familiar with the breed and can train with him. Also in an environment where there are no babies or young children, possibly only dog in the home, and where he has a big fenced in yard to run and play till he gets worn out.  He is neutered and crate trained . He is a wonderful and smart dog that we feel can flourish in the right environment &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 if interested please our website at STFFAR.org for a online application April 17, 2024, 11:18 am

Story
16-month old male. He came to us as an 8 week old, injured stray, although we were able to track down his origins to confirm parentage, the owners did not want him back. He is very healthy now. He knows basic commands of sit, down, heel, come, and stay and is a total ball of energy who sometimes struggles to heed commands. He is a very happy boy who needs a lot of room to run. He is house broken to the crate and the laundry room. He is approximately 60 lbs and largely does well with other animals, but has been noted to be possessive of toys and food at times so if around other dogs children we have separated. He will chase our chickens and cats sometimes but has never attempted to harm them. The vet has recommended he remain intact until 18-24 months of age to prevent bone/joint/cancer problems in the future.

Story
Bay is such a sweetheart! She loves the 11-year-old blind Boston Terrier in her foster home and enjoys taking naps with him and the senior cat! She has a gift with other dogs and is great with everyone she meets. She has a solid foundation of training, walks well on a leash, but loves the opportunity to run through the woods! Her recall skills are also good, so not to worry, she won't get lost! Shes friendly with people, but tries to "herd" by barking at young kids (as any typical Aussie would!), so a home with older kids would be best. Bay is totally potty-trained and crate trained although she rarely uses a crate in her foster home because she is so well-mannered. Bay loves her toys, especially the floppy, soft ones that she can shake! Since she likes to herd, she is always making sure the anyone in the room in accounted for and on hikes if someone falls behind, she will be there to make sure they catch up! She has the cutest "smile" that she saves for those she loves the most, where she curls her lips up to show her teeth. She especially loves to have her belly rubbed and will smile a lot for that! Bay can't wait to find her perfect family and start making memories and enjoying life together!
