Story
**Do not apply without reading Bandito's whole post!** This is Bandito, a 1.5 year old purebred Miniature Australian Shepherd. Bandito was surrendered to the rescue when his owners bought another dog and didn't have time for him. He had never seen a vet before either. However, Bandito is a very well behaved boy who is doing well in his foster home. He is hesitant of larger dogs at first but NEEDS a dog companion to play with- someone close to his own size and age would be preferred. So far he has done okay with the cats in his foster home but does tend to chase them. We would recommend a home without cats as we don't know if this behavior will escalate. He does great with small children and is very gentle and patient. These breeds of dogs are known to have excess energy and the need for a job. He REQUIRES an active family. Bandito is not great on leash yet but is ok with learning the routine. He is NOT yet house trained and will mark. His foster is using belly bands to help train him. He will need to be groomed regularly or brushed often at home. Bandito is looking for a home with: -other dogs his size -no cats -children ok -an active family -a grooming routine Our adoptions are done by BEST FIT and not first come, first serve. Bandito's happiness is a priority and we do expect all of this criteria to be met in order to approve an adoption so do not apply if you can not provide these for him.

Story
Horse Creek Wildlife rescued Hastings from the animal shelter on January 8, 2026. Hastings is a strikingly beautiful Aussie mix with a gentle heart and the friendliest spirit. He loves spending time with our volunteers and is always excited to run and play with his dog friends in the play yard. His sweet nature and easygoing personality make him a joy to be around. He was under the weather for a while as he went through heartworm treatment, but those days are behind him now. Hastings has finished his treatment, is feeling great, and is more than ready to find the loving forever home he deserves. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered and current on all vaccinations. They receive monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention. All of their medical needs are taken care of before they are available for adoption. Our adoption fee is $100.00. Please complete an application, if you have found a dog you are interested in adopting. Kim Austin, our adoption facilitator, will be in contact with you as soon as she has an opportunity to review your application. Understand that she has other duties and she will not ignore any interest shown in adopting one of our dogs. An application will need to be approved before a scheduled time to visit our dogs will be set up. It may take up to 48 hours before she returns your call or responds to your email, due to work schedules, holidays and adoption events. We do the very best we can for the dogs we have rescued and do not take the adoption process lightly. Please be patient and understand that we will place our rescued dogs in the very best homes possible and reserve the right to refuse applications.

Story
Leo is a mini Australian Shepherd who turned 1 on March 28th. We got Leo at PetLand in August 2025. He is the sweetest boy that loves always being near his family. Leo is fully house trained, crate trained, and knows several tricks. His favorite activities are going on walks and running with dog friends at the dog park. He is incredibly smart and loves kisses and affection. Because of his breed, he loves playing outside and being very active. We have a small yard with aggressive dogs on either side, so Leo gets limited use of his yard. Our hope is that he would find a family that has plenty of room for him to run and play. We believe he would be so happy and thrive in that type of environment. He is the best companion, loves riding in the car, and will always be by your side. Leo does try to be the alpha in the family, so he needs a family experienced with this and this type of breed.
