Story
We are looking for a loving home for our two sweet girls. This is an incredibly difficult decision because we love them so much, but we want to do what is best for them. Our family’s schedule has become extremely busy with work, school, and sports, and we are away from home around 11 hours most days. By the time we get home, it’s dinner, showers, and bedtime, leaving very little time to give them the playtime, attention, and companionship they deserve. They have been outdoor dogs their entire lives and are used to a fenced-in yard where they can run and play. We also take them on regular walks to get out, explore, and help keep their nails trimmed. They are about 6 months old, spayed, and up to date on almost all vaccinations, needing only their rabies shot. We would love for them to stay together since they have grown up together and are bonded. We aren't trying to simply rehome them—we want to find them a family who has the time to love, play with, and enjoy them as much as we do

Story
🤍 Meet Henry! Henry is a handsome Australian Shepherd (possibly a merle or double merle) who's currently thriving in one of our amazing foster homes! This sweet, lovable boy is deaf and has limited vision in one eye, but don't let that fool you—Henry is incredibly smart and eager to learn. He's already mastered hand signals for commands like sit, stay, and down, and he's quickly picking up even more "doggy sign language." Henry is fully housetrained, loves car rides, and absolutely melts for belly rubs. If he really loves you, you might even get one of his signature big hugs! Henry is still building his confidence. New people and busy environments can make him a little anxious, so he does best with slow introductions and patient guidance. Every day he becomes more comfortable, and his foster family has been amazed by how much progress he's made. He's also learning leash manners and continues to improve with every walk. Henry gets excited when he sees other dogs and would love to learn how to make canine friends. He's friendly, playful, and eager to interact—he's just still figuring out the social rules. This funny, affectionate boy would thrive with an adult or active family willing to continue his training and help him burn off his energy. In return, you'll gain an incredibly loyal companion who is full of love, personality, and resilience. Henry is currently living in a foster home, so if you'd like to meet this special boy, please fill out an application on our website and contact us to schedule a meet-and-greet. He can't wait to find the family he's been waiting for! 💙

Story
This is a courtesy post. Please do not contact Heart of the Foothills Animal Rescue for information. Contact information is provided in the description below.Penny is a little less than a year old. She's spayed and weighs around 50 pounds. We believe she is a chocolate lab/Australian shepherd mix. She does well with cats as long as they don't chase her. She is housebroken. She's a very sweet dog but she is very rambunctious and needs a lot of room to run. If you are interested in adopting Penny please email angelicawhisenant@gmail.com
