Story
Kitara, a beautiful and loving mini-Australian Shepherd is no longer able to stay in her current home. She has many wonderful qualities and has been living in a home where she is well cared for, but she now needs a new setting that can better support her continued development. About Kitara: Spayed and microchipped Very affectionate, loyal, and loving with people in the home Fully house-trained Walks well on leash, not reactive to cars, bikes, or skateboards Generally non-reactive to people and only occasionally to dogs when outside Does not chase small animals or moving objects while on walks Stays close to her person and shows good recall Rides well in the car, though she may get excited and move between the front and back seats Very intelligent, eager to please, and benefits from daily structure, activity, and engagement For her benefit and yours, we would prefer Kitara go to a home where someone has some experience with Aussies, a fenced backyard and larger existing dogs if any

I have been at the shelter since Jul 12, 2025. Learning new tricks and exercising my brain are my absolute favorite things to do! The only way it could be any better would be if I could learn things with you. We could show off new, fun tricks together and be the coolest pair ever!

Story
Luna is a 6 year old red merle toy Aussie. She is 20-22lbs and healthy. Luna loves cuddles and all the attention she can get. She likes to sit outside during the summer days and watch the world go by. In the winter, she will spend time outside but likes to stay snuggled in her bed more often. As much as she likes being outside, she is not an outside dog. She sleeps in her crate in the house at night. She will need a big fenced in yard. No close neighbors and preferably a doggie door so she can go in and out as she pleases. Someone who is home some of the day would be nice. She likes people. Luna likes car rides and pup cups and will love you forever if you take her on a walk/run and let her get her energy out. She loves to sprint and run free. I selected “doesn’t like kids” because she won’t do well with little children/babies. However, she loves older children who know how to respect a dog and not bother her if she is sleeping/eating. Luna takes Fluoxetine for mild anxiety.

Story
3 to 4 years old. Drop off at my house while I wasn't home tied to door. I tried to find her a home to not avail. She jumps over my 6 foot fence and takes off she has almost been hit several times. She loves to digs and climb on top of doghouse. She no longer gets along with my other female dog but she is fine with my male. She goes after chickens and other bird;s, she absolutely hates cats. I need help placing her with someone who can give her more stimulation and longer walks better training than I can provide. She is slightly food aggressive with other dogs but not with people!!

Story
Lola has moved to a house with Cats and does not get along, we can no longer keep her. I'd love to have her go to an active family that is not in an apartment where she can get a ton of energy spent on walks and runs. She knows basic commands like sit, lay down, and especially no! But she is so very smart…food is her language.
