Story
Meet Rocky, a laid-back, big-hearted guy who`s looking for the perfect companion. Rocky thrives in a calm, quiet home, ideally with an individual or couple who can offer him the peace he craves. While he`s tolerant of kids, he prefers to snuggle only with his bonded person. True to his cattle dog nature, Rocky is protective of his territory and takes his time warming up to newcomers. But with a few tasty treats, he’s quick to make new friends! Out in public, like at Lowes or the park, he’s friendly and allows people to pet him.He’s an easy-going guy who enjoys nice walks or short hikes and does well on a leash. However, he’s not a fan of other dogs and would prefer to be the only pup in the home. Rocky is food-driven, so with patience and training, he can overcome his dog-on-dog challenges.Rocky is fully house-trained, and he’ll always let you know when it`s time to go potty. He can be left home alone for long periods and is perfectly well-behaved—no chewing, no accidents. He’s also pretty good at following basic commands: sit, down, stay, and come. He doesn’t jump up on guests or try to dash out the door when it opens.While he can tolerate cats, small animals like squirrels aren’t his thing, and he won’t chase them. He enjoys playing tug-of-war and carrying around his stuffies (though he doesn’t chew them up!). Rocky also loves to bury bones and toys that he’s particularly fond of.He has a sensitivity to certain ingredients like corn, wheat, and soy, so he requires allergy-friendly food. He’s also afraid of thunderstorms, so a little extra care during storms will go a long way.Though Rocky hasn’t been crate trained, he seems to like the idea of having his own space. With his thick fur, he does require regular brushing, but professional grooming isn’t necessary. He`s not a fan of water or swimming, but he doesn’t bark excessively—just enough to alert when something’s up.If you’re ready for a loyal companion who thrives on a peaceful, loving environment, Rocky could be your guy!

Story
Sean is a 7-year-old male Mini Australian Shepherd with big “main character energy.” He absolutely loves people and thrives on attention and affection. His favorite thing in the world is being with his person, he’s very interactive, engaging, and truly just wants to be your best friend. He is house trained, crate trained, leash trained, and has had extensive training. He knows basic commands like sit, down, and heel, and has very extensive (and expensive) training. He does occasionally jump up for pets, bark, or pull a bit on leash — nothing out of the ordinary, just normal dog stuff. Sean does great with people (although he has lunged at strangers/unfamiliar children that run up to him) but he really would like to be the only dog and get lots of attention. He has nipped other dogs in the household, I believe this is a pack thing and he wants to maintain his popularity status. He doesn't have any issues at the dog park.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Meet Rae - Your Next Adventure Buddy!  Rae is a sweet cuddly 5-year-old Aussie mix.  She was found abandoned in a church parking lot. A family at the church took her in but quickly realized she needs a home with a companion dog. However, they will continue to foster her and our rescue will connect you to them if you are interested in adopting Rae. She is house-trained, knows basic commands, walks well on a leash, and has excellent recall. Rae is energetic, sometimes vocal, and thrives in a home with another confident dog to help her buidl leadership and trust. While she is fine with children, her herding instincts make her best suited for a home without small kids. If you're looking for a loyal, active companion with a heart full of love, Rae is waiting to meet you! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 6, 2026, 11:42 am
