Story
Sammy is an Australian Shepherd/Lab mix. He is approximately 1 year old and weighs 69 pounds. He was found running on a highway and was scared to death. A lovely couple picked him up and had his shots done. Sammy is neutered and would do better with a family with no children. He loves to play with other dogs and has lots of energy to run and play.

Story
Milo was born in August 2018 and we got him when he was around 6 months old. I've trained him on all the basic commands: sit, lay down, speak, stay, crate, etc. He's very smart and is food-motivated. He's a sweet dog to his owners, but he's slow to warm up to strangers (people and other dogs). He is skittish and it takes some time and dog treats before he gets comfortable around a new face. He is very protective. Milo is a reactionary biter. Usually when grooming him, he'll snap at you if you touch his paw wrong. We've learned to use a muzzle and that makes it possible. Milo is also crate trained. He loves his crate, it's his safe space and feels the most comfortable there. He's house-trained and would be a great dog for anyone looking for a loyal friend.

Story
We are looking for an experienced foster/adopter for Daisy. Although she is sweet and beautiful to look at, Daisy does not seek out human interaction at this time. Daisy comes to us from a hoarding situation. Due to lack of socialization she is extremely shy and needs a foster who understands fearful dogs and has both the patience and knowledge to work with Daisy. Daisy LOVES other dogs and must have a foster home with at least one confident dog. She also definitely needs a home with a secure fenced yard. Busy households or those with young kiddos will most likely be too much for sweet Daisy. We have had several dogs come into our rescue from this particular hoarding situation. Each one has made progress on their own individual timeline. Given time and the proper environment, Daisy can experience success as well. Our support network of fosters, adopters and resident trainers is available to help. Dallas Dog does not give up on ANY of our animals. All Dallas Dog adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon finalizing adoption. You can complete an application or view all the adoptable pets on our website at http://dallasdog.org/adopt. Upon receiving your application please allow us 2-3 business days to review and process.

Story
Berne, means 'bear-like' and this boy is so cute and has the waddle of a bear! As cute as he was we noticed something else was going on with this boy besides being a tail-less wonder. His back end seemed smooshed. We got him checked out, after x-rays and evaluation he has a compressed spine. This is common in some breeds. We don't know his breed but it will be something he has forever. He is not in pain and still acts like a normal puppy. As he gets a little bigger, we will see if there are any remedies or treatments that might help him but we do suspect he will live a happy life and would be an awesome addition to any family. He may need to be in household with older kids so he doesn't get knocked around. He is potty trained. He is doing great with crate and leash training. He loves tug of war, bully sticks and pestering his older foster siblings. He has spurts of energy a couple times a day, doesn't last long and otherwise very chill! Vet suspects he will get to 30 pounds. This sweet boy was found as a stray in a park. All Dallas Dog adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon finalizing adoption.

Story
Duke has completed a long term training program and is now ready for the next chapter of his life. Duke was not treated well in the past and was pretty feral when we got him, but has come a long way in learning that humans can be nice. Duke is extremely cautious of new situations, people, & other dogs. It is my belief based on working with him for the past 2 years that Duke was completely feral & much less accepting of human interaction that originally believed. Once Duke gives you his trust, he is affectionate, playful, & fun to interact with. If pushed too hard, too fast, Duke will shut down temporarily & re-emerge when he is ready. Although Duke has no known bite history it is believed that if placed in an extremely stressful situation where he felt trapped, he would go into self-preservation defense mode, so he needs a very specific home. This sweet boy is extremely cautious with new people. Slow introductions & trust building helps him to willingly approach people he has been introduced to. Duke has exhibited same interest and disinterest to both men and women. No children under the age of 14yrs is recommended. He does not do well with younger high energy children. Duke has been dog selective. He has done best with female dogs but has accepted & played with male dogs that were established in the home when he arrived. Slow introductions strongly recommended. He has shown no prey drive including barn cats & chickens near but not easily accessible Duke has shown extremely limited interest in balls, stuffed toys, and chew toys but is an extremely athletic dog who can climb 6ft fencing. Smooth wood privacy fencing is required. Duke is 4 years old, neutered, current on immuizations and on preventatives. If you think this boy is a good fit for you and that you want to give him the life he deserves, please fill out the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

Australian Shepherd Australian Cattle Dog

Female, 9 yrs 10 mos
Allen, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Libby was dropped off at a high-kill facility by the only family she knew after nine years as their faithful pet. Placed in a concrete cell with dozens of barking dogs all around her, she was marked for death by injection within just a few days. Now in foster care, Libby has a sweet spirit and takes her time making friends. Once you earn her trust, she will be a sweet companion. As she learns to walk on leash, she doesn’t jump on people or other animals. When she sees another dog in the neighborhood, she is curious and friendly. She tends to chase cats outdoors. Indoors, she tends to fixate and need consistent redirection. Her new people should not leave her alone with them. She has not been observed with children. She is also house-broken, crate-tolerant and very good on car rides. She knows basic commands and is beginning to show interest in play as she decompresses. Libby would do best in a home with a low to moderate activity level.If you think like Libby sounds like a great fit for you, please fill out the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

Story
Bruno is very sweet but also very rambunctious. He turned a year old in December so he is full grown but still very puppy like . Unfortunately I work long hours and that is not fair for him. He requires more time and attention than I can give him and my yard isn’t large enough to accommodate him. He’s very smart and good with other dogs and kids. He loves the dog park, walks well on the leash and doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body. He would do best with a large yard and with an active family who is around to keep up with him.
