Story
Ellie needs to be in a home where she can be the main character. She is super playful, loves ice cubes, and sits out on the porch and watches everybody go by. She is shy with new people and doesn’t love other dogs. She loves going on hikes and runs. She is used to being around horses, but can be intimidated if they run up to her. She is very good at doing tricks and is toy- and food-motivated. She loves taking naps and lying on top of you. She will lie in the snow for hours, not wanting to move. She is great at giving a bath and will stand there as long as you tell her to. She loves getting brushed and will grin at you the whole time. She is good with high-energy days or low, relaxing days; she wants to be around you.

Story
Meet Skye – Your Loyal, Sensitive Adventure Buddy &#239&#184&#143Skye is a 9-year-old Australian Shepherd with a gentle soul, a brilliant mind, and a heart that bonds deeply with her person. She’s a shy, sweet, and attentive girl who blossoms into a wonderfully devoted companion once she feels safe.Skye's favorite pastime? Playing fetch with her beloved tennis ball, followed by a cozy hangout with her human. At this stage in her life, she enjoys a balanced routine - daily walks, some ball-chasing fun, and the mental challenge of treat puzzles keep her happy and fulfilled. She's medium-energy, agile, smart, and always up for an adventure as long as she's with someone she trusts.Skye is fully house-trained, crate-trained, and an excellent leash walker. She's responsive to commands like leave it and focus, and she tries hard to make good choices, especially when she's feeling nervous. She takes daily Fluoxetine to help manage her anxiety, which has been beneficial for her.While she's not destructive when left alone, Skye truly prefers companionship and does best with someone who is home often. She is sensitive and protective of her space - quick movements or unfamiliar guests can make her anxious, and she may try to 'herd' people by nipping at heels. Because of this, a quieter home without young children or frequent visitors would be ideal. Skye can coexist with other calm dogs and cats, though she tends to keep to herself and prefers slow introductions. A yard would be a wonderful bonus for her.Skye's perfect match is someone patient, gentle, and understanding - someone who appreciates her quirks, respects her boundaries, and celebrates her incredible loyalty and intelligence. With the right person, she is affectionate, playful, deeply connected, and wonderfully sassy in all the best ways.If you're looking for a smart, soulful companion who will adore you endlessly and join you on meaningful adventures, Skye may be your perfect match. &#239&#184&#143Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $100.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This is Ily! Which is short for I love you, because we guarantee she does, Ily knows no strangers! This sweet girl is 55 pounds of pure goodness! Ily is for sure an intelligent mixed breed, our best guess is some sort of a cattle dog/border collie mix. She would be a fun girl to get a DNA test for!   As afore mentioned Ily loves EVERYONE! She has yet to meet kids, but would likely be a huge fan. Ily does really well with her foster dog siblings she is usually submissive with them and has great and respectful body language when asking to play. Ily is house broken and crate trained! She quickly figured out the doggy door and is always a good girl about taking herself out to go potty.    Ily’s favorite activities are playing with other dogs, chewing on her toys on a fat fluffy bed, and tossing them around the house so she can pounce on them (as far as we know she has no cat DNA in her bloodline), and getting all the loves.    Ily has been really great at practicing not jumping up when she is struggling to contain her excitement to see you. Ily runs into her crate on command and knows how to sit. Ily loves food and is extremely treat motivated in her training. She is learning the leash and always improving!   Ily has yet to meet a cat but would likely adjust to living with them in the right home. Ily needs love, walks, and good structure in her home and she will flourish. This lady is a delightful companion!   If you’re looking for a special valentine this year then apply to meet Ily @ https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 21, 2026, 1:14 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Angelle: The "Retired" Ranch Hand    At nearly 2 years old and a compact 30lbs, Angelle is a Border Collie who has officially traded her cattle-herding days for a life of leisure. If you love the intelligence of her breed but prefer a calmer demeanor companion over a high-octane workaholic, she is your perfect match.   ***Why You’ll Love Her*** The Best of Both Worlds:  Angelle is calm, quiet, and a professional couch lounger, yet she’s always up for a hike or a car ride (she’s an excellent passenger!).     A True "Velcro" Girl:  While she is initially shy—especially with men—it only takes a few hours of patience for her to become your devoted shadow.     Polished Manners:  She is house-broken, crate-trained, and great on a leash. She already knows "Sit," "Down," "Here," "Kennel," and "Load up."   ***Ideal Home Environment***    Family:  Her gentle nature is best suited for adults or homes with children aged 8 and up.   Friends:  She thrives with other calm, friendly dogs or as your "one and only." No cats, please—she is rumored to chase them     Energy Level:  She needs moderate exercise a few times a week but won't demand a 24/7 "job" like most Border Collies. Exercise for a Border Collie, even a calmer one, is more than a walk around the neighborhood (think 2+ miles of hiking).    Angelle is the French word for "Angel," and she lives up to the name. She’s ready to find a forever home where she can be the loyal, well-behaved companion she was born to be.   If you're interested in meeting Angelle, please fill out an application here:  https://rescuerovers.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=4087 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 5, 2026, 4:03 pm
