Story
Penguin is a 3 year old Australian shepherd/blue heeler mix (with a bit of border collie and collie). He was born 12/2/22 and rescued in Tennessee. I’m looking for a home with more space and stability for him. H has been taking Prozac for 2 years to try to help with his anxiety/reactivity. He is a working breed and needs a lot of mental stimulation. He was raised around 5 other dogs and I would consider placing him in a home with another large dog if the dog is confident and not prone to tussling. I would prefer a home with experience with fear reactive/anxious dogs. No cats and no children please. He does have a prey drive and has gotten squirrels, birds, rabbits. He would come with all of his things and I am setting up an app w/Synergy for a behavioral assessment. Disclaimer: I am looking to rehome him because he attacked my senior small dog after living with her for 3 years. I have two other middle aged small dogs in my home that I had before him and cannot risk their safety.

Story
We adopted Timmy in 2019 back in Washington state. They were guessing that he was between 3-5 years old when we got him. He's been a great dog. He's super laid back, doesn't bark, great with other animals, great with young children. We're moving soon and unfortunately unable to bring him. The hard part is that he's recently developed a couple tumors, one large one on his chest near his right leg. It's been determined by Banfield that the tumor is just 'fatty', but the tumor has caused a couple of potential rehoming attempts to fall through. He is still in great spirits and appetite is normal. We would love to see him in a new home rather than going back to a shelter at his age.

Story
Meet Seven.Yes, that Seven. The internet can argue about 6 / 7 all it wants — he’s very confidently Seven. Seven came to Perfectly Imperfect Pups with vision and hearing challenges, but if you watched him for five minutes, you might question that diagnosis entirely. The vet suspects he doesn’t see much, yet he navigates our house with ease, rarely bumps into anything, and handles stairs like a pro. His hearing is selective rather than absent — he may not catch every everyday sound, but certain noises get an immediate, clear response. What stands out most is not what Seven can’t do, but how much he can do. He’s incredibly smart. Curious. An enthusiastic explorer who loves being outside and discovering the world. He’s doing very well with potty training and we’re actively working on crate training, where he’s already showing great progress. He sleeps comfortably in a crate and settles in nicely. Seven is also everything you want in a puppy. Sweet. Cuddly. Affectionate. He adores other dogs and plays beautifully with them. He bonds quickly and deeply with his people. If you didn’t know he had vision and hearing challenges, you likely wouldn’t notice at all. Seven is going to make an exceptional family member for someone who’s ready to love a dog who may do things a little differently — and wonderfully so. Perfectly Imperfect, just as he’s meant to be. pipsrescue.org/adopt ##2640231##

This handsome boy is the perfect mix of energy and cuddles! He loves to play, explore, and keep himself entertained with the goofiest things—but when it’s time to relax, he’s just as happy curling up for a good nap. He’s very smart and eager to learn, already knowing how to sit and lay down, and he’s doing great with crate training. His sweet personality and playful charm make him impossible not to love. He’s a joyful, affectionate pup who will bring so much happiness to his future home. ******************************************************************** "The puppy adoption fee is $400, which covers food, vetting, microchip and the future spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet.  All puppies have had a wellness visit and are up to date on shots appropriate for age.  Breed and size is Pawfect Match Rescue's best guess and not guaranteed.
