Story
Hi I'm Oakley i Gray, TN! I am a super sweet boy and I LOVE to be right by my people...I am possibly the biggest love bug you will ever meet. I am a double merle so I do come with some special needs, but it's NOTHING that holds me back. I love to lounge around, going on walks, and car rides. The carpool line with all the kids is my favorite! Even though I can't see them, I know those happy smiling faces are there. I have a very calm, gentle demeanor and do wonderful with dog savvy kiddos. I can be a bit dog selective so I would much prefer to be the only dog or would need a meet n' greet with any potential roomies. I have come a very long way with my feline friends. I still need some correcting with cats but with consistency I will be just fine. As mentioned above I am fully blind and would like to add I may have a slight hearing impairment. I had an enucleastion on my left eye. That is healed and I'm doing great after that surgery. My remaining right eye does require some care with flushing and drops to keep it clear of debris. Sometimes I can startle easily with a sudden touch and will back up. However I come back quickly for that pet on the head. Being blind has not held me back whatsoever. I quickly learned the layout of my foster home. I know every square inch of the backyard and neighborhood. I can even smell when we get close to home on walks. As far as my hearing impairment, I have excellent recall from the furthest point of the yard. So really its not so bad. Please know my disabilities do not define the amazing dog I am.🖤 Oakley is fully house trained, crate trained and walks well on a leash. UTD on all vetting and neutered. Oakely would benefit from someone willing to work with him on scent and touch training. Oakley will require a fenced yard or someone who will maintain several walks a day with a secure collar such as a martingale. Oakely is at times easily startled and can slip a harness or traditional collar. If Oak sounds like your pup, please fill out the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to my new furever family. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

COMING ATTRACTION 🐾 Gray, Tennessee Transportation is available within reason* Hi I'm Cooper! I am a 3 year old double merle with the softest coat you will ever pet. I am putting myself out here again in hopes of finding my forever family...and I mean forever!! I am such a fun, lovin' guy and I'm up for just about anything. Car rides, walks with my people, backyard fun with my foster siblings or hanging out at the local dog social making new pals. As you can tell I play really well with dogs but I also have a huge heart for kids. I will trade those tiny humans kisses for pets and couch cuddles any chance I get. I do ok with cats, this is something I've really come a long way with. Other small pets like house rabbits or back yard chickens are a NO! . I am not to be off leash as I will bolt. Its like a game of catch me if you can. I walk well on a leash but I do require a little redirection. My recall is decent when we are in the fenced yard and I know my boundaries well. I am crate trained and house broken. Over all I am a very good boy but I could use some extra training. I really aim to please and I catch on quickly. Since I am a double merle I do come with a genetic eye anomaly. My eyes are a tad under developed causing a slight vision impairment. Don't let that scare you! I promise my impairment does not hold me back. If I sound like your kinda guy please fill out the application!! https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

It typically takes us around 5 BUSINESS DAYS to process an application. We will reach out to you as soon as your application is processed. Thank you in advance for your patience. All of our dogs start their journey in Memphis, Tennessee where they remain in loving foster families until they are adopted. Once adopted, some pups stay local in Memphis. Many others travel via one of our transport partners to their new forever homes. We use Pet Express Transport (https://petexpresstupelo.wordpress.com) for our Nashville, Knoxville and New England adoptions. For our Midwest adopters, we have our own private transport. Breed selection is done in conjunction with two local vets and is not to be considered a guarantee but rather a well-educated decision from well qualified staff. Due to the extremely high volume of inquiries we receive, we ask that you request, complete, and submit an application before asking additional questions. We try very hard to include all pertinent information in our bios. We are excited to help you find your new family member. However, Woof River is 100% volunteer operated. We want to spend our time saving dogs and assisting those adopters who have taken the time to complete an application. Thank you for understanding. Please LIKE Woof River on Facebook! Thank you for choosing rescue!!
