Story
Meet Rose! Rose is a 2 year old female Australian Shepherd mix who is looking for a new forever home! Rose was removed from a welfare/neglect investigation and had a very rough start in life. Unfortunately she was not only kept in horribly unsanitary conditions, but she was also neglected from life outside of the 4 walls of an outdoor kennel area, meaning she never got to experience things like walks, car rides, meeting people, interacting with other dogs, sniffing leaves, or even just being an Australian Shepherd and getting to work on a farm. Because of this, Rose's adopters will need to understand that much of what we know as normal might be entirely new to her, and it may require patience while she learns. In order to help Rose learn skills before she's adopted, the folks at Fun Fur Pets in La Crosse have been fostering her in their 2nd Chance to Shine program, where she will continue to be provided with enrichment and rehabilitation so that she can be the happiest girl in her future life! She will brush up on skills like proper manners, basic obedience, and they'll continue to learn more about her social interactions. So far she's been incredibly friendly and happy around people, but seems selective with other dogs, so she would likely be best as your only princess. She will do best in a home with children over the age of 10, depending on the experience level of her adult owners. Rose may do well as a working farm dog, or simply as a house pet, depending on how much training & conditioning her family would be willing to do. We do not know how she would do around farm animals, as we don't believe she has ever met any. Even though Rose endured a great deal of neglect in her life prior to intervention, we're hopeful that the right family will come along and show her how wonderful life can be! She's definitely got the happy personality to move forward optimistically and filled with a zest for life! If you'd like to meet Rose to see if she'd fit into your lifestyle, we are doing all meet n' greets with her BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been generally approved: https://monroecountydogshelter.com/apply-adopt.htmlRose is spayed and fully vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $200.

Story
Meet Aveeno! Aveeno is approximately 1 year old and is thought to be an Australian Shepherd-type mix. Aveeno was found as a stray in another county, missing almost all of the hair on his body. At the time, his skin was inflamed and he had infection, but luckily he found humans who were willing and able to help him and was quickly on his way to recovery! We were then able to pull him into our shelter to help with space, so we'll be able to be a part of his recovery journey as well. Something tells us that Aveeno has a spectacular coat waiting for him once it all grows in!!! While we cannot wait to see the full results, we understand that this process can sometimes take a long time, so his new family should be patient and ready to provide him with his medication & baths while he recovers. We cannot imagine how uncomfortable that must've been for his poor body - his skin seemed even sun burnt without the protection of his hair. While at the other shelter, he received oral medication as well as medicated baths. We will continue to re-evaluate his progress as he stays with us! Aside from his physical neglect, Aveeno is one of the sweetest boys you could ever meet! He loves everyone he meets, especially if you have treats! This also means that he'll probably be super easy to train! He does know some basic commands already, and would love to learn more. He needs help learning how to walk on leash without pulling, but rides nicely in the car, takes treats nicely, and responds to his commands. He's great at keeping his kennel clean, but because we don't know what kind of potty training schedule he may have had in the past, we recommend a 'refresher course' in his new home, as well as utilizing a crate while he adjusts to the new routine. Aveeno should do well around other pets & children as long as everyone is properly introduced and supervised. So far he's got a nice moderate-energy level, and would likely make an excellent adventure & exercise companion without being overly hyper. (keeping in mind that sometimes their energy can change once they're back to normal health & condition!) Aveeno very clearly suffered neglect in his life, but that hasn't stopped him. We're hoping to find him a family who loves that face as much as we do, and is who is dedicated to making sure he never has to experience that again! If that's you, follow the link below! We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been generally approved: https://monroecountydogshelter.com/apply-adopt.htmlAveeno is fully vaccinated and will be neutered prior to adoption. His adoption fee is $200

ALMOST ONE YEAR OF WAITING… WHY NOT LUCY?! Meet Mama Lucy, the girl who keeps getting overlooked but NEVER stops trying! Nearly ONE YEAR. That’s how long Lucy has been waiting for someone to see what we see in her. Once upon a time, Lucy was a devoted mama raising her puppies. She watched them find their forever families, one by one, while she stayed behind. And somehow, almost a year later, this beautiful girl is STILL waiting for her turn. But Lucy hasn’t spent that time sitting around waiting. She’s been putting in the WORK! She’s been working with a professional trainer to build her confidence and social skills. She’s going on regular adventures outside her foster home, exploring new places and experiencing new things. She even attended one of our adoption events and did GREAT! She’s making incredible progress and showing us more of her sweet personality every day! Is Lucy suddenly a fearless social butterfly? Nope! And that’s okay. New people and unfamiliar environments can still make her nervous. She’ll need a patient, understanding family willing to give her the time and space to feel comfortable. But the Lucy we see today has come SO far from the timid girl we first met! And here’s something important: Lucy does GREAT with other dogs! We believe she’d actually thrive in a home with another dog to help show her the ropes and continue building her confidence. Once Lucy trusts you, she’s an incredibly sweet, loyal girl who loves her people. She’s especially fond of her foster dad, and treats are definitely one way to win her heart! SOME INCREDIBLE NEWS FOR LUCY! Thanks to Dahl Subaru and the Subaru Loves Pets program, LUCY’S CONTINUED TRAINING IS SPONSORED! This means Lucy’s future family will have additional support as she continues building her confidence and learning to navigate the world around her. We are incredibly grateful to Dahl Subaru and the Subaru Loves Pets program for investing in Lucy’s future and giving this deserving girl an even better chance at finding her happily-ever-after! A LITTLE ABOUT LUCY: Catahoula Mix Approximately 43 lbs Around 2 years old Good with other dogs Would likely do best with a canine companion Food and treat motivated Making great progress with training Needs a patient, loving family Continued training SPONSORED by Dahl Subaru through the Subaru Loves Pets program! Adoption Fee: $200Includes spay, microchip, heartworm test, up-to-date vaccines, and current vet check. Lucy doesn’t need someone to rescue her from who she is. She needs someone to love her for who she is and celebrate who she’s becoming. She’s spent nearly a year learning to trust the world. Isn’t it time someone showed her what forever feels like? PLEASE SHARE LUCY! Somewhere out there is the person or family she’s been waiting for. We just need to help them find her!

Hi! My name is Crazy Train.I am a 1 year old, neutered border collie mix. I am microchipped, heartworm tested and current on my vaccines.3 words that describe me: Athletic, friendly, energeticThings staff and volunteers have to say about me: “Smart pup just needs some training”, “Would make an excellent running partner”Activity level/Energy Level: (1-10) 8/10Housetraining Status: Needs workI should do well in a home:  I would do great in homes with children of all ages given proper adult supervision. My humans haven’t seen me around cats so they don’t know how I will act around them.My favorite activities are: Running, playing, and  being with my people. I am a quick learner I know sit, lie down, come, wait and stay. Things I need work on are: Housetraining and basic commands.Words from his foster mom! : No, he isn't crazy. He just has that border collie enthusiasm! He needs an owner who loves exercise too. He has been with us for three weeks now and In the house and the yard he is relaxed and happy and able to entertain himself. He is very affectionate with people and very good with other dogs. He wrestles with the neighbor's retriever, playes chase with the chihuahua and is a very tolerant nanny to the five week old puppies who bite his tail and climb all over him.Doggy day out notes:"Crazy Train was a great dog. He was very sweet and calm in the car ride, even though he tried to sneak over the seat hammock by being affectionate. He loved running and hiking the trail just as much as he loved pets and attention afterwards in the yard.""Crazy train did very well on his doggy day out. He is very social and sweet high energy for sure but after a long walk, he was worn out and laid-back.""Crazy Train did so good on his doggy day out! He’s such a fun, social, and loving dog. He was so excited to meet all the new people and places. He did really well during the car ride as well and loved sticking his head out of the window. Such an amazing boy!!""He did amazing, super excited to move and walk, neutral towards other dogs, loves to be outside, but very calm in the house! once we were done with the hike, he just laid down and settled very easily once inside.""Crazy Train was a perfect mix of energy and snuggles. He is like a velcro-dog when chilling out on the couch but also loves to go on walks and explore. He was an extremely hard goodbye. He was very curious especially with new smells and people, he loved to greet everyone he came across. He is full of energy and love:)"My adoption fee is: $300*If you are interested in adopting, please start by filling out an application available on our website and email it to us. https://www.couleehumane.com/adopt-an-animal
