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
Fluffy is a 9-year-old male Australian Shepherd mix looking for a loving new home. He’s a sweet, low energy dog who absolutely loves cuddling and will happily climb into your lap for belly rubs. He enjoys being outdoors and relaxing with his people. Fluffy knows a few commands like sit, lay down, and paw, and he’s very food motivated. He would do best in a home with a fenced yard or where he can be kept on a leash, as he sometimes likes to take off and turn it into a game of chase. He’s great with kids but cannot live with cats or other small animals, and he can be a bit territorial around food and treats. This is a very difficult decision due to a divorce and a long-distance move. My goal is simply to find Fluffy a safe, loving home where he can continue to be the cuddly companion he is.

Story
Millie is a 4 ½ year old mini Australian Shepherd who is the embodiment of her breed. She has a lot of energy, always looking to run or play. She gets startled at sudden movements so she would be better with a family of adults and/or older children. The ideal placement for her would be a farm/house with a backyard, or someone who can take her on runs, or who can put some time into exercising and training her. She is certainly more of a playful dog, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t love belly rubs and cuddles! She also LOVES the snow and hikes, but still timid at the beach. Letting her personality shine through makes loving her so easy.We got Millie when she was about 9 weeks in 2021. When she was about 6 months, my partner wanted a second dog and took in another puppy. As puppy #2 got older, he became anxious, Millie started to become anxious as well. Now, my partner left, leaving me to care for both dogs alone, working full time 5 days a week, but I know Millie deserves the best!

Story
Is he stunning? Yes, he is. Is he smart? Yes he is. Is he a silly, goofy ball of big energy? Yes he is. Can he be yours? Yes, he can! Aragon is a younger adult Aussie mix who has the coat of a lion and the heart of a clown with LOTS of energy! Aragon is an adult who weighs about 50 lbs, maybe a third of which is his hair. Aragon absolutely is an example of his breed with high energy and a strong drive to play, learn and do. He is the kind of guy that would love some adventuring pawrents, lots of walks and hikes and would likely be a fab jogging partner as well! He is not likely a good match for apartment living and would much prefer places to run and roam. He does well with other dogs and has preferred those who play hard like he does. Aragon is ready to be your fuzzy bear and exercise partner all rolled up into one.
