Meet Cooper, who comes to us from the Cabarrus County Shelter. Cooper is an 11-year-old, 60 lb., sweet and loving Australian Shepherd. Cooper is housetrained, crate trained walks good on a leash, and loves other dogs and people. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. While he is a bit hard of hearing, this vibrant boy radiates enthusiasm and youthful energy, embracing each new day with unbridled excitement and adventure. With every step, Cooper discovers joy in the simplest things - a walk with his best friend, a chance to sniff out hidden treasures, and the freedom to explore. When let loose in a yard, he continues to explore, until he discovers the perfect spot to unwind and contently rest. Cooper's striking appearance captures hearts, and his affectionate nature, coupled with a desire for human connection, makes him an ideal companion for someone seeking a devoted friend. His playful spirit belies his age, and his zest for life invites you to share in the joy of making every day unforgettable.

Story
It absolutely breaks our hearts to rehome our sweet girl because we've done everything imaginable to avoid this. Unfortunately, the relationship she has with the other two dogs in our home has become increasingly more difficult. She deserves more freedom and attention than we're able to give her in our current living situation. She is great with people and forms strong, loving bonds. However, she struggles with high anxiety around certain noises - especially vacuuming sounds, dinging alerts & similar household noises. Because of this anxiety, and with small children in our home, we feel she would do best in a calm, adult-only household. She has never shown aggression toward children, but a quieter environment without kids or other dogs would help her feel safe & settled. She loves playing fetch, being outdoors, and snuggling for a nap afterwards. We're looking for a home that can give her lots of love, patience and attention.

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!
