Story
Woofy is an almost 2 year old, 35 lb (born July 4th, 2022) male Australian Shepherd mix seeking a forever home. He came to Marden’s Ark Dog Tales along with his brother Sonic when the owners’ lives changed and they felt that another home would be best for them. Woofy would love to be loved and in turn will guard your farm or help you do tasks and would love to be your best buddy. He is very intelligent, alert and easily trained. Already crate trained, he knows several commands..."come", " back", 'sit", "wait", "no", "yes/good boy", "kennel up' and 'go get it"...and presently working on "easy" and "stay close". Woofy is a little cautious at first when meeting new people since he hasn’t had a lot of world experience. He would do very well in a home with someone who can be patient while this smart boy figures it all out and bonds with his new family (no children under 12).  He will be a very loyal companion when given just a little time to adjust.  His brother was adopted and Woofy was a little sad at first but has adjusted. He would do best in a home with another dog that he can look to for confidence. Woofy has not had much socialization outside his current environment.  He needs a home where he can learn that new experiences are fun.  A professional dog trainer has assessed Woofy and feels that he would be a great dog given a little training and patience.  This trainer has agreed to donate eight 1 hour private training sessions (in person if in the Asheville area or by video conferencing if not) !   The foster/adopter should be available and willing to commit to 3 to 4,  5-10 minute training sessions per day on their own, plus a 1/2 hour walk once or twice daily or one 1/2 hour walk and 2, 15 minute walks. During the walks, they could work on hand targeting and recall exercises. The trainer also recommends puzzle toys, KONGS, LickiMats, etc... for added mental stimulation, as this boy is intelligent and high energy.   Woofy lives with cats and chickens and just wants to play with them.  He is basically still a puppy. Leash trained and crate trained. Woofy does very well with potty training in the house. Favorite things to do are running and playing with toys, getting treats, swimming & splashing in water, taking hikes, climbing new mountains, jumping for joy, finding things you may have lost, sitting and "talking" with you and taking short rides in the car to get treats and of course he loves meal times! Woofy is an energetic, very smart boy. He may do well in agility, nose work, or other fun activities. Woofy is near Asheville, NC.    A Meet & Greet can be done in Asheville or may can be arranged at a closer location for the right home. Woofy is up to date on vaccines and heartworm and flea preventative. He is also neutered. Adoption Fee: $300  If you are interested in adopting or fostering Woofy, please visit our website and fill out an adoption or foster application. https://www.doggierefuge.org/index.php/adoption-application/ https://www.doggierefuge.org/index.php/foster-application/

Story
Rex is about 1o years old and we think a Husky/Border Collie mix (his eyes are half blue).  One of our volunteers came across Rex delivering for Meals on Wheels.   He was tied up outside where he has spent his entire life.    The owner said they didn't want him and gave him to Marden's Ark Dog Tales.   We took Rex to the vet to get up to date on vaccines.  He tested positive for Heartworms.  Not surprising since he lived his life outside without heartworm preventative.    He has completed the heartworm treatment and will need to be retested in June 2024 to confirm he is heartworm free. Rex is an older laid back guy.  He gets along with other dogs and people. If you are his person, he stays close to you. Rex is house trained and will hit a hanging bell from the door knob when he needs to go outside.  He's very smart ! Rex is up to date on vaccines, and flea preventative. He is microchipped and neutered. Adoption Fee: $250 If you would like to foster Rex, please fill out a Foster Application https://www.doggierefuge.org/index.php/foster-application/ If you would like to adopt Rex, please fill out an Adoption Application https://www.doggierefuge.org/index.php/adoption-application/ If you would like to donate for Rex's medical care, you can do that any of these ways: Our website: https://www.doggierefuge.org/index.php/donate/ Or Paypal: doggiepaypal@doggierefuge.org Or Venmo:  @Jennifer-Smith-4776 Or mail a check to: Marden's Ark Dog Tales PO Box 99592 Raleigh, NC 27624

Story
Have you sworn off the male species? Do you like to plan your life to each precise detail? We have a dog for you! Macon is a handsome and intelligent Border Collie, a 3 yr old male with a unique personality. Macon has a preference for a female-only household due to his past experiences with men. He is a very sensitive dog and becomes frightened when faced with unexpected changes and new people. However, he is incredibly loyal and affectionate with those he trusts, making him a perfect companion for a patient and understanding owner. Macon is an amazingly neutral dog we often trust for dog temperament testing. He is more infatuated with his human than he has ever cared about a dog. Macon has a few hobbies that he thoroughly enjoys. - He loves going on car rides and will sit at your door waiting for an adventure & jump in any car that has an open door! - Hiking, Walking Trails, Running Pretty much anything in Nature - Yes, Yes and Yes! - Do you have an arm that will throw his ball for hours and hours - You are just the person he's been wishing we were! - Have you dreamed of a dog to work on agility and/or Dock Diving? This is exactly what this guy wants! - Cuddle on the couch after a long day - he will happily borrow oxygen! In the proper environment Macon is also an off-leash trained, which is a testament to his discipline and intelligence. However, his velcro dog nature and ability to frighten easily with strangers makes it important that he always stays close to his owner and safely away from others that he doesn't know. He has not pursued someone by any means yet will push them back with a growl if he feels they are a threat to him. Macon has a sweet temperament, and his playful and loving nature makes him the perfect fit for an owner who can provide him with a calm and stable environment. He needs a home that is in a more rural area with fewer distractions and someone who can be patient with him as he adapts to new situations and people. With the right owner, Macon will undoubtedly blossom into a confident and happy dog. Macon has proven to bond to his person and trust others to be near when his person is in the room. He can meet people as long as they do not interact with him physically or acknowledge him until he is comfortable. We believe in this guy so much that we are willing to pay for additional personalized formal training if the right family is found. He currently has 3 special ladies he trusts with all his heart whom can do anything with him and he is just happy and eager to oblige. He has met many others and has participated in group trainings with no issue as long as those there keep their distance not making him feel pressured to greet. We do understand this sounds overwhelming when looking for a pet yet if you are looking for that once in a life time pet to fill your world with love, loyalty and companionship this is your guy! Macon is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, current on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. My adoption fee is $325. If you have read this far and still haven't turned away, reach out to our dog program manager SusanRoberts@secondchancenc.org.
