Story
Meet Haley, a loyal, sweet, and smart nine-month-old pup who is looking for her forever home. Haley is a playful girl who needs to be around medium to large dogs, or as an only dog. While she loves to play, she's also calm and loves to snuggle as long as she's had her exercise. Haley has been through level one obedience training and is house trained. She's up-to-date on all her shots, has been on heartworm and flea medication, and is about 45 pounds. She's met and loved younger children but would do best with children 12 and older. Haley has learned commands such as sit, down, heel, off, no, place, stay, drop it, come, and wait at the door. She still needs reinforcement with these commands, so an experienced dog parent would be ideal for her. In addition to being well-behaved indoors, Haley loves to run with her teen human companion and play fetch. She's crate, house-trained, and can come in and out of a dog door. It breaks my heart to give her up, but I know she'll thrive in the right

Story
Dakota is a high energy fun loving dog. He loves long walks and playing all the time. My husband and I had a mutual friend who was trying to rehome him since she was moving. He is a 12 month old Australian shepherd and a great Pyrenees mix. He is great with our 9 month old baby and has a good experience with older children. He does tend to be anxious with new people and a new home but with patience he will warm up to you. He is food motivated when it comes to food training. With his breed he needs a big back yard and needs to be worked since he is a working dog. He is potty trained and will let you know when he needs to go out. Still working on other commands but is trainable.

Story
Hi! My name is Donut! Cute, huh? I was born on June 14, 2022. I was adopted from Heart of the Foothills as a puppy, but then ended up at the animal shelter in another county. The shelter contacted Heart since they were listed on my microchip. They were not able to ever reach my adoptive parents, so I went back to Heart and have been there ever since.I'm an Australian Shepherd, so I'm very sweet, but also very high energy. My very favorite thing to do is run around outside. I could run forever! I'd really love a home with a fenced in yard to help keep me safe while I explore and play. I also really love my swimming pool!I'm a very smart guy; I know several commands. I am friendly with other dogs, so if you already have a pup, I'd love to make friends with them! I would do best in an active household with older children. I'm still a young dog, so sometimes I don't understand my strength. I'm very friendly, but I may be a little much for a small child. I currently weigh about 50 pounds; I shouldn't get too much bigger, no more than about 60.I'd really love a home of my own with my very own forever family. If you're looking for a new best friend, please give me a chance!If you are interested in adopting this animal please fill out an application at heartofthefoothills.org/adopt.

Story
Nala is a 1.5 year old Aussie mix that we adopted from the Greenville, SC animal shelter. She is a sweet and energetic dog who wants to play and run around all day. She lives in a house with cats and a younger dog and she has always been very gentle with them/respected their boundaries. Her favorite toys are plushie toys with squeakers in them; she will carry them around the house with her all day. She also enjoys chew toys when she is relaxing and tug toys that she can use with her human or with another dog. She is a very smart dog so she knows several tricks and commands that we use on a daily basis. We have never seen her around children, but I think with her playful attitude, she would do well with having a child or more dogs to play with.
