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
Meet Sting 🖤Sting is a 4–5 year old Australian Shepherd mix weighing about 64 pounds who is quietly learning that life can be kind. He came to us from a hoarding situation, and while he has already made wonderful progress, the world is still a new and sometimes overwhelming place for him. Sting is a shy, timid boy with an incredibly sweet nature. Everyone who meets him says the same thing — this dog doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. He simply needs a little time and patience to feel safe and understand what it means to be part of a family.Because of his background, Sting is still figuring out how to “be a dog.” One thing we've already learned about him, though — he absolutely loves the ladies! He takes comfort in gentle voices and calm companionship. We believe Sting would thrive in a home with a confident, friendly dog who can help show him the ropes and give him reassurance as he continues to blossom.Recently, one of our volunteers experienced a breakthrough with Sting. Instead of taking a treat and retreating to a safe spot as he often does, Sting chose to stay nearby. He ate his treat right in front of her, then gently licked her hand before walking away. It may seem like a small moment, but for Sting, it was a huge step—and a glimpse of the loving dog waiting beneath his cautious exterior. The best part about dogs like Sting is what happens once they learn to trust. When you earn his heart, you'll gain a deeply loyal companion who will quietly adore his person. The journey may take a little longer, but dogs like Sting have a way of making every milestone feel special.Sting is already crate trained and potty trained, and he's ready to continue his journey in a patient home that understands that the most special dogs sometimes just need a little extra time. A confident dog in the home is a must for Sting's success. He is currently available for foster or foster-to-adopt, giving someone the chance to help this sweet boy continue discovering how good life can be. Apply at www.caninecollective.org.

Story
Dog's Name: Chassis Gender: Female Current Age: 3 years old Current Weight: 50 lbs Breed: Australian Shepherd Energy Level: Medium Dog Friendly: Dog selective Cat Friendly: NA Kids: Yes Apartment Friendly: No Fence Requirements:  Preferred so she can get those laps in Crate Trained: Yes Potty Trained: Yes Ideal Home / Adopter: Chassis would thrive with an adopter who appreciates her smart, loyal Aussie personality (and maybe herding habits) and will enjoy keeping her engaged while giving her all the love she deserves. She is super food motivated so training will be a breeze. Likes: Chassis’ favorite song on Olivia Rodrigo’s latest album is definitely honeybee. Coincidentally, that’s also her favorite Blake Shelton song. In lieu of a herd of sheep, this girl goes Gaga for bees. Dislikes: storms are a hard no for her and she appreciates the safety of her crate during bad weather, who can blame her! Chassis is a smart, loving Aussie girl with a soft spot for flowers, bees, and being wherever her people are! This medium-energy sweetheart is potty and crate trained, knows basic commands, and is always ready to learn when treats are involved. She’s dog selective and has some herding dog tendencies, but with her loyal personality and love for adventure, Chassis is ready to buzz right into her forever home. All adoption fees include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, worming, flea prevention, and current heartworm prevention. Dogs over six months of age are heartworm tested prior to adoption. If you're interested in adopting, please complete an application at rescuedohio.org. Once approved, a meet-and-greet can be scheduled. ##2677186##

Story
After a rough start to life, these Aussie mix puppies are thriving in their foster home. They were dumped in rural Mississippi and found by a caring FedEx driver as they huddled on a trash pile on the side of the road. Now they have learned to trust people and love to play and snuggle. They will be ready for forever homes after 3/6. They are located in Memphis, but can be transported to the Midwest, Colorado and the Northeast for an additional fee.

These pups are in Delaware, Ohio too!

Story
Jada is roughly 12 years old. I adopted her when she was about 2 years old. She is a great, loyal dog. I had her professionally trained in 2018. She is extremely playful and treat motivated. She loves being outdoors and exploring. She would thrive best in a home without children or other pets. My husband and I are searching for a home for her where she will have an exceptional quality of life during her final years.
