Story
This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $200 if picked up in TN, $275 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Freya is a gentle, soulful girl whose quiet bravery shows in the sweetest little ways. This 3.5-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd weighs 26 pounds and has beautiful blue merle fur, a thoughtful expression, and a moderate energy level that fits nicely into a peaceful routine. Freya is very much a dog’s dog and takes comfort in the company of other pups. She enjoys walks, light hikes, and running around a securely fenced yard with her dog friends, and it is adorable to watch her instinctively bark and herd everyone out the door for yard time. She loves chew toys, happily de-stuffs plush toys, and feels safest relaxing in her crate, which she considers her cozy retreat. Freya is housetrained, crate trained, walks well on leash, and knows cues like outside and kennel. While she is very timid with people, it is incredibly heartwarming when she gathers the courage to take treats or allow a quick head pet. In her past, Freya escaped from her home and was hit by a car, resulting in a broken pelvis and a dislocated leg. She underwent surgery and has since made a full recovery, moving comfortably and enjoying her daily activities without issue. She does well with other dogs and cats and would do best in an adult-only home where things are calm, predictable, and respectful of her space. A quiet household with a securely fenced yard and at least one friendly dog companion is what she needs. She needs someone who will accept her exactly as she is - a shy girl who wants to hang out with other dogs more than people. If you think Freya could be the perfect companion for your dog and a fun addition to your home, please contact us for more information.  Interested in adopting? Take the first step and complete an adoption application on our website: http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/adoption-apps/ If you have questions that are not covered in the profile, visit the Pet Inquiry Form: http://aarf-tn.com/contact/pet-inquiry-form/. THIS PET IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE! We do list and adopt our pets nationwide. Typical transport cost to the Northeast is $180. Due to interstate adoption regulations, we are not able to adopt to RI and MA state residents. A.A.R.F. (All About Rescue and Fixin' Inc.) http://aarf-tn.com/ is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) no kill animal rescue organization located in the Upper Cumberland area of Tennessee. A.A.R.F. is comprised of unpaid volunteers and survives only on public donations. Thank you for thinking adoption first! Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. Anything else found will be treated by our organization prior to adoption. January 19, 2026, 12:58 pm

Story
This puppy is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $250 if picked up in TN, $325 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Say hello to Cobo, a beautiful 5-month-old Australian Shepherd mix pup. Cobo is an energetic little girl weighing about 20 lbs. She gets along with other dogs and is curious about the cat in her foster home. Her housetraining is going superbly, and she sleeps in a crate overnight. She rides well in the car the few times she's been in one. Cobo learned to sit for her meals on her first day in her foster home. She's a very smart girl and will require an owner willing to train and exercise her daily. Cobo has a voice and is not afraid to use it on occasion. Forget about watching barking dogs on TV. She really likes being with her people and is happy to do what is asked of her. Cobo is leash walking in a harness but needs some work on walking in a straight line, lol.  Experience with herding breeds will be a big plus but any owner dedicated to fulfilling Cobo's needs will find her to be a charming and funny friend. Please use our inquiry form if you would like any further information about Cobo. She will be available for adoption on February 7.    Interested in adopting?

Story
Update: She is in the process of being adopted ... whoo hooo! You all are missing out on a wonderfully sweet and smart dog. Rosalina is a sweet girl who is looking for her forever home. We expect she will be medium / large sized when full grown and we are just guessing on possible breeds. She has known nothing but love and would be a great addition to any family. A physically fenced yard is required due to her being a puppy to keep her safe. She is still a puppy and will need to work on potty and leash training and would do best with children over 8 years old. She is spayed, current on vaccinations, preventions and microchipped. She can be a bit shy at first but will warm up and loves her other doggy friends. She would do best in a home with another dog as a companion. If you think you are the right family or person for Rosalina, please fill out our adoption application on our website at www.safehaventn.com . We are happy to set up a meet and greet for the approved application. Her adoption fee is $300 (if being picked up in TN) and she is being fostered in middle TN. Please contact us for out of state adoption information.
