Story
Maya (known as Sydney in her foster home of 4 months) is a beautiful, smart, gentle and sweet girl. She is very loving, playful, eager to please, and house-trained. She has a very short tail and when she sees someone she loves, her whole body wiggles! She is very intelligent and quickly learned the names of her various toys and often figures out what you want her to do before you even ask. She loves to be outside in the yard with her person and her canine buddy; walks in the neighborhood she likes, but walks in the woods she loves. She wants to be your best friend and do everything you ask, but sometimes the world is a little too scary for her. She can be slow to warm up to new people and places, and likes to have a "safe space" all her own. She is cautiously happy to meet most women and some men, but she is timid with older men. She therefore is unlikely to do well in a home that includes an older man, but would likely do well in a home with a younger man. Although she has had very limited exposure, she seems fine with children. She has been fine (but shy) with the cat in her foster home. She is initially timid around most dogs, but would probably do well sharing a home with a confident, playful dog, and as you can see from the videos, once she's comfortable with another dog, she loves to run and play! Maya will need a meet and greet before proceeding with an adoption. She was rescued by HART after being surrendered to a shelter; we don't know where she lived before that. She has made steady progress coming out of her shell, but will need a person(s) who has some experience with anxious dogs and will be very patient and loving with her. Questions About this Animal?

Story
Hi there! My name is Ray, short for 'Radar.'  That is because, you got it, my magnificent, perky ears!  I don't miss a thing!  Especially when I hear the sound of a hand reaching into a bag of my doggie treats.  I love running and playing with my foster sister so I would make a great companion pet. I also love my daily walks. I am working on gaining confidence when I'm out on walks and improving daily.  I do check the boxes for housetrained, dog friendly, kid friendly, all around people friendly and SWEETNESS.  Did I mention I sleep through the night! I warm up quickly when I first meet people and I love cuddles.  I have a heart full of love and wating for that person/family to welcome me into their home. Accuracy is not guaranteed; however, information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  For more information on the pet, please send an email to info@aforeverhome.org December 6, 2025, 10:37 pm

Story
Am I adorable or what? I am a happy, playful pup. I enjoy playing in the backyard and I love to play with the others dogs, but I enjoy my humans even more. I am gentle and loving and do well with kids. Don't I have such an adorable face? I am a little pup and should be a medium sized dog when full-grown. I am now housetrained and doing well on leash training. If you want a smart, happy, loving pup, I am your dog!Accuracy is not guaranteed; however, information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  For more information on the pet, please send an email to info@aforeverhome.org November 24, 2025, 11:04 pm

Story
We are seeking a new home for our 6-month-old Australian Shepherd / Poodle mix due to a mismatch between her needs and our family situation. She is a bright, energetic young dog who is displaying strong herding-breed traits, including nipping and mouthiness, especially around children. While she has made progress with professional training, she requires a highly structured, active environment without young kids. About her: • 6 months old • Healthy and up to date on vaccinations • Crate trained • Almost fully house trained (rare accidents) • Very intelligent and eager to engage • High energy and still maturing emotionally Ideal home: • Adults only or no young children • Prior experience with herding or high-energy breeds strongly preferred • Active lifestyle with daily exercise and mental enrichment • Commitment to continued training and structure Our goal is to find a placement where she can succeed and feel settled long-term. This is not an urgent rehoming, and we are co
