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
## Meet Indie **Indie is someone’s next heart dog.** She’s the total package—smart, silly, adventurous, and deeply affectionate. One minute she’s stretching her legs in zoomie mode, the next she’s curled up beside you, gazing lovingly into your eyes like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to her (because, in her mind, you are). --- ### Indie’s Dream Home Indie is looking for a home that matches her big, joyful spirit: * A playful, happy-go-lucky dog companion who enjoys her energetic, social play style OR as an only dog with routine access to playing with other dogs. * Ideally a home with a doggie door and easy access to a yard * Bonus points for water on the property—this girl *loves* water * A family of any size, though she may thrive most with older elementary-aged kids (or older) who want a buddy to include in their adventures * Some property or open space where she can run, explore, and chase squirrels without constant leash frustration As an Aussie, Indie is intelligent and independent. She’s less of a “Velcro dog” and more of an explorer—checking in, but confidently using her clever brain to investigate the world around her. --- ### Her Personality & Play Style Indie loves all dogs who love her—especially puppies! She isn’t every dog’s perfect companion as she can come on sort of strong a be a little bossy. She attends doggie daycare and is reportedly a **10/10 superstar**. She’s social, confident, and ready to have a good time. On leash, she can show some reactivity toward other dogs—not out of aggression, but frustration. She *really* wants to play and gets excited when the leash says “no.” She’s receptive to training and shows promise, but would benefit from a home that can consistently work with her in calmer environments …or one that can just avoid the leash on a small neighborhood block with a dog at each fence all together! She: * Enjoys daily walks - she’s a BIG sniffer. *Has run up to 5 miles at a time on leash, but seems to prefer open field running * Mostly walks nicely—until a squirrel or exciting scent appears * Has great recall in open fields but is kept on a long line just in case wildlife proves too tempting * Loves enrichment toys, lick mats, chews, and interactive fun --- ### Home Life Indie currently lives in a quieter home with a sweet 4-year-old and another dog. She loves the little girl, but Indie is more interested in what the adults are doing. Her dog sister relationship is cordial but not especially playful. She would likely flourish in a more active environment where her “bombastic” and joyful nature can shine daily. She has experience with: * Chickens (she finds them thrilling and would chase if given the chance) * Car rides (she loves them!) * Woods and outdoor adventures * Nail trims and handling—she’s wonderfully tolerant * we are unsure of how she would be with cats at this time, though we expect she might chase them (at the very least) She was previously kennel trained and can sleep in a crate, though she currently enjoys bed privileges. Be warned: she’s a champion cuddler, a bit of a bed hog, and may greet you in the morning with enthusiastic Aussie affection. --- ### Why She’s Looking for a New Home Indie is deeply loved. Due to significant chronic health challenges in her current home, her family is navigating a season that makes it hard to give Indie the full, vibrant life she thrives in. She’s a wonderful companion—but she deserves a home that can fully embrace her energy, intelligence, and zest for life. --- ### The Bottom Line Indie is: * Smart * Adventurous * Social * Water-loving * Cuddly * Confident * Playful She’s ready to be someone’s once-in-a-lifetime dog—the kind that changes your life in all the best ways. If you’re looking for a loyal adventure buddy who can hike by day and cuddle by night, Indie might just be your heart dog.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
WILL NEED IMMEDIATE BEHAVIORAL TRAINING AND IS NOT SPAYED. She is aggressive towards all strangers but no biting She can be very lovable, but only to one main person at a time...preferably women. She becomes very dominant towards that one person she chooses and doesnt like others around them. She views men as a threat . She needs to be rehomed with someone experienced. Due to her behavioral issues, she is not fully house trained, most shots updated but not all. She does not do well with other dogs or larger families. Needs possibly only a couple or a farm. She needs someone who is patient, and experienced. She has a very loving side and becomes extremely intuned with your emotions. She was originally an emotional support dog, through a therapist. She is not crate trained and is used to sleeping on furniture with her owner. We believe apartment space and lack of socialization created this. We are willing to take her back within 60 days if it doesnt work in new home
