Story
Hello my name is Journey. I am an Australian Shepherd mix. I am a lovable companion and looking for a new home. Quick facts: * Male, neutered * 9 years old * 55 pounds * House trained * Good with owners, adults * Fully vaccinated * Healthy I have been a loyal dog to my owners since being rescued eight years ago in Raleigh, NC. At first, I was a great companion to my single owner. Then, when my owner became married, I enjoyed the new relationship. A few weeks ago, a new baby was born and now things are too busy here, so I am currently staying with my grandparents. I enjoy being a great companion. I can be rather independent too. You might find me sitting next to you on the sofa, or more often than not you may find that I am resting in a quiet place of the house for a long nap. I do like to go outside a couple times a day. I like to play once in a while by pulling on a rope toy. I don’t like loud noises - such as thunderstorms - or strange sounds. I am not comfortable around other dogs and cats. I answer to most commands and I come when called. I go by Journey, Jay, or J-Dog. I hope you will consider me as your future companion. Please contact michael.g.scheu@gmail.com

Story
Meet Ash! Ash is a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a boundless capacity for love and a curiosity that keeps her exploring the world. This sweet and playful girl adores being the center of attention and will happily soak up all the affection you can give. She’s happiest when she’s with her people, always eager to please and stay close. Ash thrives on active play and loves roughhousing with her big foster brother. She’s a quick learner, excelling in her training and always ready to tackle new challenges with enthusiasm. A fenced-in yard would be perfect for this energetic pup to safely burn off energy while she continues to blossom into her best self. Though she hasn’t had the chance to meet kids yet, Ash is wonderful with other dogs and is housebroken—a big plus for any prospective family. If you’re looking for a devoted, lively companion who will bring endless joy, Ash is ready to join your pack and make every day an adventure! Ash is ready to find her forever family—could that be you? ##2244974##

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hello, I'm Cadbury, your future best friend! I'm as sweet as the chocolate I'm named after, and I love making new friends. I'm a curious little pup, always eager to learn new things. I'm smart too and I love cuddles, they make me feel safe and loved. I'm quite energetic and playful, but I also have my mellow moments. I'm gentle, never rough. I'm a bit of a couch potato even at my young age. I'm loyal and very attached to my friends. I truly feel that I need a buddy, another dog who can show me the ropes as I am not always brave or confident. I promise to be the best addition to your family. Adopt me, and let's create unforgettable memories together!

Story
Arya is an energetic, playful, snuggle bug. She is four years old & we’ve had her since she was 8 weeks old. This is absolutely the toughest decision we’ve ever made, but she has not adjusted well to our infant & needs a home ASAP. Arya loves to go for runs, walks, bike rides, hikes, & car rides. She is well-trained. She is fully house trained, leash trained, & crate trained. She loves to snuggle & give kisses but needs someone that can keep up with her love to play. She’s such a happy dog & will make an incredible companion. She is a high energy breed, so she would be best suited for someone who is active or has a large fenced in yard for her to play. She loves to play tug-of-war, keep away, & fetch. She's very intelligent & loves to practice her training and puzzles! Although Arya's not comfortable with young children, she loves new people & is perfect for anyone looking for a one pet household! Arya would do well with middle to high school aged children.
