Story
Marley is a loving, spunky Mini Aussie who adores being close to her person. Once she warms up (which doesn't take long), she will cuddle under your arm, next to you, or even on your head. She's playful, affectionate, and loves her butt scratched! Marley was attacked by another dog as a puppy and has since shown fear-based reactions around unfamiliar dogs, so she'd do best in a home without other dogs or small children. She's very smart and knows commands like sit, stay, heel, and go lay down. Marley is loyal, headstrong, and happiest playing fetch or snuggling up by your side. We love her dearly, but as our family grows, we know she deserves a calmer home with an experienced dog owner who can give her the time and attention she needs.

Watts is a neutered Australian Shepherd with a big heart and a playful spirit. Energetic and affectionate, he loves walks, chasing his favorite ball, and cuddling on the couch. He's house-trained, knows sit, and comes when called (especially for treats!). Like many Aussies, he very loyal, and can take time to warm up to strangers. He's been great with my teenagers and other dogs after some gentle introductions. Watts is looking for a loving owner with time for daily play and exercise.

Story
Adopt this sweet boy Bear. He is an Aussie/pitbull. Turns 1yr in Oct of 2025. He is very friendly, playful, energetic, good with other dogs and kids. He's never had any problems with aggression of any sort with anyone or any other dogs. He loves to meet new friends, to play, chew on bones and ice and gives lots of kisses. We have a new born coming and with two dogs it is just too much for us. He needs a welcoming home with some love and patience and an area to run and play. He is young, so he is still learning. He is crate and leashed trained and is great with long car rides. We would love to find this sweet boy a loving and accepting home as soon as possible:)

Story
Journey was a rescue at 10 months old. Came to us this last year because he was unable to adjust to new baby. He is now 11, good health, has a grain allergy so needs grain free food. Journey has some quirks, is afraid of thunder and loud noises, we do jot know his whole backstory but he is protective of his food and does not to be pushed off the couch or bed and growl, but has never bitten. He is very jealous of my other dog to the point of being aggressive towards him. We can no longer keep him due to how he treats our other dog. 2 options are rehoming or, well you get the picture. With the holidays and family events window is very short. Journey loves to play tug of war, doesn’t fetch though. He has herding instincts but never seen farm animals. Great for a one dog family with older kids or no kids.

Story
Merle is a 9-month-old bundle of energy and intelligence looking for a forever family who can keep up with his adventurous spirit. With his mix of Aussie, Collie, Am Staff, and Beagle, Merle is as smart as he is active. He loves the outdoors and would thrive with someone who enjoys hiking, running, or exploring nature by his side. Personality & Training: Merle is very bright and already has a great start on his training. He knows basic obedience and manners, and he’s currently enrolled in a training program. His adoption will include free training sessions with his current trainer plus 30 days of online support to help him continue to succeed in his new home. Merle is happiest when his mind and body are both kept busy, and he’ll need a family who is committed to daily exercise and structured, consistent training. Home Needs: Merle is fostered on a farm where he’s exposed to dogs, children, and farm animals, and he handles it all with curiosity and enthusiasm. Because of his herding instincts, Merle would do best in a home with older teen children rather than young kids. He will thrive in an active household that can match his energy and give him outlets for his adventurous side. Health & Adoption Details: Merle is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and healthy. He is located near Raleigh, NC, and we would love to keep him close by so he can continue his training program with support. If you’re looking for a smart, loyal, and adventurous companion, Merle may be the perfect match.
