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
We are located in Plain City, OH and have a healthy Aussie beagle mix named Milo who is around 5/6 years old. We rescued him from Franklin County Shelter. We have a one year old in the house and are expecting another in February 2027. Milo seems very unhappy with this new life change. We also aren’t able to exercise him like we used to. Due to his energy/herding nature and lack of exercise he is very cooped up and stressed. We also have a Great Dane in the home who our Aussie has not been getting along with recently. As Milo has gotten older he has made it clear that he is not fond of other dogs and thrives in a home when it is just him. We love our Aussie (Milo) but feel he would be much happier in a home with no kids or other animals that has a fenced in backyard where he can get his exercise out. I would love to continue to be apart of his life and help with any vet bills or anything at all that new owners may need help with in the future.

Story
Meet Darcie! 🐾 Darcie is a beautiful 4½-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a gentle heart and so much potential. She can be a little shy at first, but with patience and kindness, she's slowly learning that people are pretty wonderful. She's also done well around cats! Once she feels safe, you'll see her sweet personality begin to shine. Darcie is looking for a loving family who will let her grow at her own pace and cheer her on every step of the way. If you have a little patience, a lot of love, and maybe even a feline friend, Darcie could be your perfect best friend. 💙

Columbus, OH

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

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.

Story
Mack came in with his brother Murphy. Both are sweet, loving, mid- to high-energy boys. Mack has been just about the sweetest boy ever from moment one—extremely affectionate and just loves giving you big Mack hugs. He loves when you let him be a Velcro dog, but don’t get the wrong idea—when you need your own space, he is very good about not being pushy about it. Mack’s brother Murphy looks more like pure Aussie, but we’re pretty sure that’s Mack’s mix as well. We'd love Mack and Murphy 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. Mack is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio.

Bio for Secret Female  Approximate age ~ 6 months  Breed~ Aussie mix  Weight~ 23 lbs  Impairments ~ Deaf  Potty trained ~ Yes Good with dogs ~ Yes Good with cats~ She barks at them Good with kids ~ Yes  Commands known ~ or being worked on -Sit,Come,No,Outside, Crate,Eat,Bedtime  Need a fenced yard ~ Yes or leash walked Need another dog ~ No. But she would love to have a friend  Energy level ~ Med/high Location ~ Troy Ohio    Secret is 6 months old.  A very loving girl who will keep you smiling.  She is deaf,but don't tell her she's a bit different.  She doesn't care. She loves to play and cuddle the same as any other pup. She's very smart and learns quickly.  She was potty trained in a week.  She picked up hand signals in no time.  But like a typical kid, she ignore those hand signals if she's not ready to stop playing.  Secret loves playing with other dogs. Kids fascinate her. She barks at cats. She thinks all toys are great. But if there's a toy she likes better than others, she guards it and doesn't like to share. We just simply put the toy away and everything is fine. At feeding time she goes straight to her crate waiting patiently for her turn to be fed. When no one is home, she's put in her crate. She goes in easily and keeps it neat and clean.  At 23 lbs, she's probably about as big as she's going to get.  Upon adoption she'll be spay and completely vaccinated.  Are you looking for a great companion? You won't find a better one than Secret.  So hurry to @speakfortheunspoken and fill out an application because your best friend is waiting for you. ***PLEASE READ*** WE DO NOT RESPOND TO PETFINDER OR EMAIL INQUIRIES. Please fill out an application on our website if you are interested in adopting this dog. We will only set up a meeting with the dog once you have an approved adoption application. We actively manage our dogs on Petfinder.   If you are interested in adopting this dog, please review our adoption policies and apply online at [www.speakfortheunspoken.com/adopt](http://www.speakfortheunspoken.com/adopt). ##2804327##
