Story
Introducing Zeke, a truly remarkable pup whose heartwarming spirit and playful energy are ready to light up a new home. Zeke is a handsome, resilient boy who, through no fault of his own, found himself searching for a new home. He's more than ready to embark on his next chapter, seeking a loving, forever family to call his own. Zeke is a bundle of joyful energy, known for his silliness and ability to bring a smile to anyone's face. While he may start off shy, it doesn't take long for his true personality to shine through. He quickly becomes an enthusiastic playmate who thrives on the company of other dogs and will gleefully encourage them to play. Zeke is a smart and well-mannered companion. He is potty-trained and comfortable in his crate. He also knows basic commands like "sit" and "go to your room," and his eagerness to please makes him a joy to train further. While he’s working on managing his excitement (which sometimes results in enthusiastic leaps!), his good intentions are always clear. Walks are a highlight of his day, offering him a chance to explore and burn off some of that youthful energy. His barks will let you know precisely when he needs to go outside or when he hears you approaching the door. If you’re seeking an active, affectionate, and charming dog who promises boundless love and entertainment, Zeke could be the perfect addition to your home. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
I'm Zuri and I'm just as sweet as I am pretty! My mom was an Aussie mix, and I'm likely to stay small/medium sized. My paws are tiny. I'm not sure how my ears are going to end up as they do different stuff every day! My favorite thing to do is cuddle, and I will plead with my big beautiful brown eyes until you pick me up. I love all dogs and play well with all sizes. I'm very intelligent and figure things out pretty quickly. I'm working on my potty training but for now I'm using pee pads with amazing accuracy! Don't wait as I will go quickly! Local adoption fee is $250 (i TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Noah is a smart, high-energy puppy who thrives on activity, structure, and plenty of fun. He loves playing with other dogs, doing zoomies around the yard, and chasing leaves as they blow by. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would do best with older kids since he still occasionally jumps when he gets excited—but he’s learning! Noah is crate trained and housebroken once he learns the routine of his home. He walks well on a leash and already knows sit and down. His foster family is currently working on stay, and he’s proving to be a quick learner. Because of his energy level, Noah needs an active family that willing to continue teaching him manners and training. His mama was an Australian Shepherd, and based on how the whole litter looks, his foster believes dad was a Boxer—giving him the perfect mix of smarts, athleticism, and playfulness. Noah is ready to find a family who can keep up with his zest for life and help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be!

Monty is a great name for a great dog like me ;) I have the Monty Python kind of humor... goofy and sweet! But, don't mess with my crate! That really is my only "pet: peeve!! I was found on the streets 2 years ago and was adopted as a pup... however, I became the boss in the house and didn't like anyone entering the house that I didn't know :( SO..... Back to the rescue, because they won't give up on me!! So here I am and I have really adjusted to the environment and new people meeting me and treats and lots of love. AND the crew here basically has determined that I need a family/adopters that will be in charge of the house. Someone I can trust to protect me so I don't have to!! I am vocal in my crate, so my crate needs to be away from the common areas so I can relax and not meet everyone that stops by. Once I settle into my new home I will follow your lead! I am a gorgeous boy, with caramel and milk chocolate highlights in my soft fur. I want to please my family and go on all kinds of adventures! I am awesome out and about, meeting new people and new friends :D I hope you will look into my eyes, the windows to my soul, and see the HOPE I have to find my own home again! The rescue is great because I got a second chance, but I REALLY want a home!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
Me and my twin brother rescued this pup from a broken home. With lots of travel and living in an apartment this dog has a lot of energy and truly needs a place to stay with just more attention. The dog is great, crate trained, typically puppy and honestly have fallen in love with Maverick. He gets along with other dogs and having others would be great. With the uncertainty around travel, moving, we feel it’s a disservice to him to have him couped up in an apartment. You can call me (xxx) xxx-xxxx if you have any more questions !

Story
Hi, my name is Blaze, and I’m looking for my furever home! I am currently being fostered in Nashville, TN. I am an Australian Shepherd, 4 1/2 years old and weigh approximately 70 lbs. I am neutered, vetted, microchipped, and fully up-to-date on shots. I came from a family with another dog and a child, but they unfortunately moved and could not take me. I have the sweetest face and eyes. My foster mom even accidentally calls me ‘Bear’ sometimes because I can be like a big teddy bear but with gentle petting and no rough play. Sometimes the neighbors even say I look like Beethoven from the 90s movie. I may be a little distrustful of strangers at first (I might even bark), but once I know there is no danger, I just want love and to hang around my humans. I’ll follow you room-to-room, but I have no desire to get on the furniture or the bed. If you need me to go to my crate, just tell me to and I’ll do it! My favorite place to sleep is on the floor next to your bed. I know how to “sit” very well. I am a very sweet cuddlebug but I do get nervous and howl when left alone in a new place. After a few days, I’m usually good! I LOVE to go on walks, and step right into my harness with joy but because of my size, I tire out easily so I prefer short to medium-length walks. Keep working with me and I’ll get stronger! I also have trouble sometimes because my back leg and knees have some arthritis. I will benefit from some joint supplements. I’m good on a leash, but sometimes I like to chase birds! I’ve had a foster brother for the past three weeks and we tolerate each other. We do fine together, until he tries to steal my toys… then I growl at him. I’ve learned to play tug of war with my humans and I am a big fan. I’ll also enjoy chasing a ball or toy that I can bring back to you. I’d probably thrive in a home with a small family or even a single person. I’m protective, but I do love meeting new people. Please fill out this application if you want your home to be Blaze’s furever home! https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/old-adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.

Story
Dunkin is a loving, playful Aussiedoodle looking for a new forever home due to recent changes within my family. He’s a very smart boy with a big personality and a lot of love to give. He enjoys spending time outdoors, playing with toys, and curling up for cuddles when he’s all tired out. Because Dunkin is intelligent and energetic, he does best with structure. He needs a home with someone who can set clear boundaries and stick to them. If given the chance, he will test those limits just to see what he can get away with! He’s not a “bad boy,” just very clever and needs consistent expectations. Best suited for someone familiar with active or intelligent breeds A home with someone patient, confident, and ready to be the leader he needs. He would thrive with an owner who can provide exercise, mental stimulation, and structure. Dunkin is a wonderful dog who just needs the right match. If you're looking for a loving, playful companion and can provide a committed, structured environment.
