Story
Chase was dumped quite some time ago and the owners never claimed him. We had planned on keeping him but our older dog is getting to where she can’t handle how he plays with her. Also, we travel without our pets frequently which isn’t the best situation for him. Chase is house trained and knows basic commands plus a couple of tricks. He is an exceptionally intelligent dog and can learn almost anything you try to teach him. He likes to be around his people all the time and at their side but he does not demand attention, just proximity. He is a very good dog though small children make him anxious so he would be best in a home with older or no kids. He loves other dogs and, oddly enough, chickens. Homes with other animals would definitely be Chase’s preference.

Story
Faith UPDATED 9/27/19 Aussie seeking starring role in It’s a Wonderful Life – canine edition! This beautiful little lady has lived a life destined for the silver screen. After finding herself down on her luck, she is looking for an angel of her own to show her just how wonderful life can be.  Maybe that someone is you.    Faith is a smooth-haired merle Australian shepherd mix with lovely red and white markings offset by her striking blue eyes.  Faith is quite shy to start but this adorable girl is absolutely worth the effort.  Once she gets to know you, she is all in with belly rubs, kisses and tail-wagging galore!  Faith will truly blossom in a home where she feels loved, cherished and safe.        Faith needs her angel to hold her paw each step of the way and give her the courage to come out of her shell and really embrace the beautiful life waiting for her. This also mean Faith needs a fenced in yard where she can be free to run and play, fetch and chase.  Faith will also be very happy curled up on the couch watching her favorite old movie with her new family.   After all, movie night is the optimal time to work on loving her, petting her, sweet-talking her, and outright adoring her until she finally concedes, “it’s a wonderful life after all”!  Faith is between 3-5 years of age, housebroken, spayed and up-to-date on all vaccinations. She is not a candidate for leash training so she’ll need to be carried to those annual vet check-ups.  Faith would be fine with another canine companion in her forever home and has tested well with cats too.

Story
Sweetheart looking for a new beginning This gorgeous blue merle Australian shepherd mix is looking for a fresh start in a new home.  Hope is a tender soul. Shy to start, she warms up quickly once she gets to know you.   You’ll find yourself smitten with her sweet and playful nature. She has the most beautiful swirly coat of blues, grays and browns that just calls out for rubs and snuggles and friendly scratches behind the ears! Hope relishes every moment of affection and will reward you back tenfold.  She enjoys chasing all the usual balls and sticks and spending time romping and frolicking through her backyard with you! Surrendered through no fault of her own, Faith deserves a stable family to welcome her with open arms and renew her belief in happy endings!  Hope is not a candidate for leash-training; she needs a hands-on family willing to carry her to those annual vet appointments. Who couldn’t use an extra helping hand sometimes!  Hope also needs a fenced-in yard where she can get daily exercise playing fetch and horsing around with her new family.  On rare occasions, Hope may forget her manners and nip at dangling fingers when excited.  She wouldn’t want you to think it’s intentional but it does make her a more suitable companion for older children and adults.  Hope will thrive is a steady and calm home environment.  She dearly wants to please and deserves a special someone to love her in a truly forever home.    Do you have the steady arms to welcome sweet Hope into your family?    Hope is between 3-5 years of age. Housebroken, spayed and up-to-date on all vaccinations.

Australian Shepherd Husky

Female, Young

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Masey came home with us in Dec from a city animal control with no history. They guessed she was at least 12m and done growing aside from "filling out at bit". As it turns out she was quite a bit younger and has doubled in size these 3 months. Unfortunately our HOA is non-negotiable on the size bans in our neighborhood and she has now exceeded the height & weight requirement. She's currently 65lbs and will easily be 70lbs, shoulder height 22" & head height 30" (these aren't exact as she's a little wiggly lol). Masey loves to play & will sometimes fetch but will always enthusiastically chase the ball. She plans to one day jump high enough to catch one of those flying birds that taunt her on walks. Aaahh, walks...Masey has some growth to do with leash training and a harness is a necessity on a longer walk as we have yet to find a aid to stop her pulling. And she's STRONG. Masey could pull a sled (or 5'4" female) easily down the street. She is so SWEET, she loves keeping track of the kids.
