Story
This is Butters, a full bred red Merle Aussie. I got her when she was 8 weeks old from a farm in Airville PA. She is currently 5, her birthday is March 6th. She is fully trained. I trained her myself. She knows some tricks, what “go up” and “go down” the stairs means, gimmie kiss, on and off leashed trained, potty trained, etc. She’s a wonderful dog and this hurts my heart to do this but I want her to be happy and SHE NEEDS SPACE TO RUN AND PLAY. She is a protector but she’s not mean. She didn’t grow up around kids so id recommend no small children. She is very protective of me and really a sweety pie but the jealous type so its best she goes to a home without other dogs. She loves to chase the squirrels but if you catch it with your eyes before she does and tell her to “leave it” she will. This is my baby but I want her to have the best life possible and I’m unable to provide that to her right now.

Story
This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)

Story
Such wonderful puppies these Aussie mixes are! With a mom like Piglet, how could they be anything else? Their names? Winnie, Lumpy, Eeyore, Robin, Roo, Pooh, Tigger, and Darby. They're 3 months old, presently around 10 pounds and will mature to probably around 40 pounds. These babies are sweet and playful, social and smart. They love toys! They love each other, too! Great litter!!! (posted 12/26/25, ME) Adoption Fee: $395.00-- covers microchip, worming, all vaccines, monthly heart worm preventative, monthly tick/flea preventative, spaying/neutering, health certificate, and complete medical records. Transport Fee: $160.00-- We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. **January 20, 2026, 12:45 pm

Story
LOWER FEE! Such wonderful puppies these Aussie mixes are! Darby is a 5-month-old Aussie mix who needs some help though. Born in rescue with her 7 siblings, Darby was a happy girl, living and playing with her littermates. Transporting her to her adoptive home several hundred miles away was a traumatic experience for Darby, and she arrived terrified of everyone she meets. Because she expresses her fear by lashing out, we feel a home with no children is appropriate, at least until she gets past this period. We are hoping for a home in the PA/NJ area, as we work with a trainer in Doylestown, PA who will continue to assist to acclimate her into her new home. (Working with your own trainer is also an option. we are confident that this is fixable with a little work) We need a special, patient person for this girl while she works through her issues. (update: 1/24/25 ME) Adoption Fee $150- covers microchip, worming, all vaccines, monthly heart worm preventative, monthly tick/flea preventative, spaying/neutering, health certificate, and complete medical records. Transport, if needed: $100 **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. **January 24, 2026, 5:36 pm

Story
We got Lola back at the end of 2019 as a puppy she was crazy lovable and protective of the kids. She has high energy and loves to run around outside and play she will bark at anyone she sees and run around. Lola needs someone who has the time and space to give her the love she deserves. We are moving and the landlord does not allow big dogs and we no longer will have the space or time to give her what she deserves. We have a cat that she chases around but when she was used to him they were fine. She is great with our kids but needs time to warm up and get to know other kids that she hasn’t met before.

He’s very very energetic. He’s a herding dog so perfect for farms. Can use a few weeks of training because he’s not too good around other dogs. I just don’t have enough time for him as I am working 2 jobs now.
