10 yrs old. He is potty trained, can sit, roll over, spin, stay, lay down, fetch a ball. Good with kids, other dogs and cats. Only vise he has is anxiety w/loud gunshot noises/fire works. He will try to get out any where he is. I have to put him on trazodone during new years and 4th of July holidays. He has been getting out of our backyard during the day a few times a week now, which im guessing is because he is bored & not stimulated enough. Only to the best home & w/ acreage or a farm. These dogs cant be in a small home or apt. Txt 9717627678 for more info.

Story
From his foster: “Ralphie – Your Adventure Co-Star1 year old | 48 lbs | Australian Shepherd MixRalphie is the kind of dog who forms deep bonds and wants to truly be part of your life. He’s intelligent, expressive, and athletic — a classic working-breed mix who thrives when he has structure, purpose, and connection.At one year old, and still figuring out the world, he can be sensitive in new situations and has shown some fear-based reactivity in the past. The good news? With structure and training, he has been making wonderful progress and building confidence every single day. He is looking for experienced, steady leadership to help him continue that upward trajectory.He would do best in:• An adult-only home (no young children)• An active household that enjoys walks, hikes, and enrichment• A secure yard (he’s athletic and curious!)• A home with breed experience and commitment to continued training    ##2622392##

Story
Looking for a professional lap warmer who doubles as your new favorite road trip co-pilot? Penny Chai is ready to claim her forever spot preferably right on top of you! Penny is a herding breed so we would love to find a family who is familiar with that. It’ll be best that there are no young children in the household because she does have herding tendencies with small children specifically. She will be the most loving dog you have ever known. A very best friend. She’s the most loving dog in the world. Penny is the kind of girl who takes a minute to warm up and then suddenly you realize she’s chosen you as her person. When she feels safe, she blossoms into the sweetest companion: affectionate, loyal, and always close by. She doesn’t need the spotlight; she just wants to be near her humans. Penny is the perfect little adventure buddy. Long walks, patio cafés, community events, or shopping trips. She is ready to tag along and quietly win hearts wherever she goes. She may start a little shy, but when she chooses you, it’s forever. Penny Chai has a way of making people smile wherever she goes watch her video https://youtu.be/IPeR9y8lIqQ At just 1 year old and 19 lbs., we believe Penny Chai is a Mini Aussie mix. Of course, she’s a rescue so while we can’t guarantee breed or age, this isn’t a wild guess, just an educated observation based on her look and traits. She’s on the smaller side, making her easy to walk, easy to travel with, and easy to scoop into the car for spontaneous outings. Compact, manageable, and full of love Penny is the perfect size for both everyday adventures and cozy nights in. Penny is a huge lap dog in the best way possible. She truly believes personal space is optional and will happily curl up right on you for movie nights, quiet mornings, or anytime you sit down. She loves being part of your everyday routine whether that’s hanging out at home, going for peaceful walks, or riding along for an adventure. happily, be your walking buddy, training partner, and everyday sidekick. She enjoys roaming the yard but checks in often and loves having direction. She’s treat motivated (which makes training fun and rewarding!) and would thrive with someone who enjoys engaging her smart, working-breed brain. Penny is currently in foster and has done well in that environment. She is kennel trained, settles nicely, and rides wonderfully in the car. In fact, she loves car rides and would happily be your co-pilot. Beach day? She’s in. Weekend getaway? She’s ready. She would do best in a home with older kids (12+) who can match her calm, respectful vibe. She enjoys being part of the family and thrives with gentle interactions. Penny would do best in a home with no other animals. While she is perfectly fine passing other dogs on walks and being around them in public, she would truly prefer a home where she can be the one and only. After a rough start to life, Penny feels safest and most secure when she doesn’t have to share her space. A calm home where all the love and attention is just for her will allow her to relax, build confidence, and truly blossom into the very best version of herself. Penny could thrive in a home with a yard where she can explore and stretch her legs, but she could also do beautifully in an apartment as long as she gets regular walks and enrichment. She’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply, loves structure, and truly blossoms with guidance. As she settles in, you may notice a few classic Aussie-style quirks which really just means she’s smart, sensitive, and happiest when she has a “job,” even if that job is simply being your loyal little shadow. Young, vibrant, and incredibly devoted, Penny will be a beautiful addition to many different types of homes. Whether she joins a family with another dog or becomes your one and only, she’ll remind you every single day how much our hearts need the simple, steady companionship of an adoring dog. She’s ready and waiting for her forever home. If you’re ready for a smart, loyal companion who just needs a little time to shine, Penny is waiting.

Story
Mojo is a truly special dog—gentle, sweet, and incredibly kind-hearted. At 13 years old, he’s been a loyal and loving companion, always calm, well-mannered, and full of quiet affection. He has brought so much joy over the years and deserves a home where he can continue to feel cherished every single day. With our busy lives, we haven’t been able to give him the time and attention he truly deserves. As an Aussie, he thrives on regular walks, a bit of grooming, and, most of all, lots of love and companionship. Mojo would make a wonderful addition to just about any home—whether it’s a family, a couple, or someone simply looking for a devoted best friend. He has so much love left to give, and he’s ready to share it with someone who can give him the care and attention he deserves.

Story
Born June 2 2021 Weight 55 lbs Carter is a bigger mini Australian Shepherd with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He has better recall than his brother and is incredibly friendly with people. He’s very food motivated and loves to play catch, run, and explore and especially at the beach, which is basically his happy place. Carter is vocal and expressive, so he’s not shy about sharing his opinions with the world. He’s playful, affectionate, and thrives with activity and engagement. Like Finn, he can be reactive toward other dogs, but with the right patience and structured introductions, he could likely learn to coexist with them. Carter would do best with someone active who enjoys outdoor adventures and doesn’t mind a chatty dog with lots of enthusiasm. They have always been considered our forever dogs, and this decision comes from wanting the very best possible future for them. Ideally they will go to the same home forever and ever
