Story
Meet Darcie! This sweet 4.5-year-old Australian Shepherd is looking for a very special, patient home where she can blossom at her own pace. Coming from a difficult situation, Darcie is still learning to trust, but she's been making small steps forward in her foster home. She will need a quiet home, someone who understands that building confidence takes time, and a family willing to celebrate the little victories. She does well with cats and would love a person who can give her the time, patience, and love she deserves. 💙

Story
Spot was born in Minikin Manor in Liberty Hills, TX. He is a five-year-old, blue merle, full breed toy Australian Shepherd. Spot is a super cuddly and affectionate dog who loves to sit right next to his companion or in laps if allowed. He loves to play fetch with small balls and run outside. Owner moved to Columbus, OH in 2022 and has full veterinary medical history of records from PAZ - East Veterinarian in Austin, TX and Upper Arlington Veterinary Hospital. Spot is neutered.Spot has lived well with one other dog for his life, but is not easily socialized with other dogs and we would prefer a single pet household familiar with herding dogs.Spot knows the “sit” command. He does a good job riding in the car with a doggy hammock in the back seat. Spot currently lives well with a baby with separated/defined living spaces.Spot benefits from a puzzle bowl because he loves food and to eat quickly. He prefers quieter walking routes and is easy to pick up in off leash dog or difficult terrain.

Story
Hi everyone! Meet Aspyn! Aspyn is an almost 2-year-old Mini Aussie weighing around 15 pounds. She is a super sweet girl who loves attention and can be a little needy because she just wants to be wherever you are! She is both house and crate trained and gets along with just about everyone. She may need a little time to adjust to a new environment, and she sometimes likes to bark at kitties. Aspyn loves playing with her toys and will happily tell you all about her day. Because of her herding instincts, a home without young children would be best for her. She’s full of personality and would love a family to call her own! If you’re interested in meeting Aspyn, apply on our website! Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start November 4, 2026, 9:39 pm

Irwin

Australian Shepherd Border Collie

Male, 2 yrs 7 mos
Marysville, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Irwin has been with us for a little over a year now. We have been working on some behavioral issues, getting him ready for a forever home. We believe that Irwin is ready to find a home with someone or a family experienced with Border Collies, Aussies or another herding breed. Irwin has lots of energy and needs to have a purpose, a job or anything that keeps him busy. Irwin would not do well with apartment living. He needs his space to be Irwin. Irwin is VERY selective on the dogs he likes and will not do well in a home with cats. If you are interested in meeting this handsome boy and speaking to our staff that has been working with him, please fill out an online application. Once the application is approved, we will contact you to schedule a visit.

Story
Hi there - I am hoping to find a loving family that is interested in growing their pack. I’ve had Luna since she was a puppy - adopted from a litter of surrendered farm dogs, a mix of blue heeler and Australian Sheppard. She is bright, energetic, affectionate, and loving - with a lazy streak that misses most working dog breeds. She has been housebroken for years, and plays well with others - including dogs and people. Despite some personal space issues (as in: she prefers not to give it), she’s incredibly well behaved, and has never met a human she didn’t love. Unfortunately, my family has developed an allergy to dogs which forces us to keep Luna penned in the den, away from the rest of the house. While the den is comfortably outfitted, she would love to spend her senior years in a home that can let her join in family movie night and give lots of hugs and snuggles. If you might have room in your heart and home for Luna - please let me know. I would love to arrange a meeting!

Murphy

Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult
Columbus, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Murphy came in with his brother Mack. Both are sweet, loving, mid- to high-energy boys. Murphy started out more independent than his brother and still probably is a bit, but he also seeks out attention from time to time and can be very affectionate. Murphy looks more like pure Aussie than his brother, but he may still be mixed. We'd love Murphy and Mack to be adopted together. They are bonded and thrive in each other's company and the company of other dogs. A physically fenced yard is required. Murphy is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio. If you are interested in adopting Murphy, please complete the online application here (copy and paste into your browser): https://hhdane.formstack.com/forms/lostpetrecoveryadoptionform
