Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rivers is an Australian Shepherd- likely a mini as he is small. He was born in July 2024. He is very sweet and very loving with everyone including other dogs.
In general, Aussies are active yet easy-going dogs that love to romp with children. They tend to get along well with other pets. The breed is considered highly intelligent and easy to train. Aussies are known for being especially eager to please their owners. They require daily exercise and would love to play with interactive enrichments puzzles or toys.
Rivers is being fostered in Louisiana, but I would love to do a FaceTime call for approved adopter. Please consider this stunning boy as an addition to your family.
Adoption Fee: $620w. Transport

Additional adoption info
All our rescues have been vaccinated, wormed, given rabies vaccine, been on heartworm preventative, neutered/spayed, micro chipped and appears healthy from vet examinations. We also try to provide as much information about our rescues as we know while in our care. Once an application is received and processed you would be able to speak to the foster parent to determine if she is the right fit for your family and lifestyle.
Adoption fees details:
Puppies - Adults $ 590, Seniors $415. These adoption rates include transport from Alexandria, Louisiana to designated New England adopter pick up locations and NE foster homes using either Rescue Road Trips, Pets LLC or CAFA Transport. If you do a search you will see that this is a very reasonable adoption fee and comparable to other rescues.
Adoption fee breakdown:

MA and NH only--Quarantine fee if applicable: $125.00
Medical details:
All our dogs are altered (spayed or neutered), DHLPP, rabies, bordetella, heartworm tested with negative test results, microchipped, treated for parasites and on monthly heartworm and flea and tick prevention. A health certificate is issued by a licensed Louisiana veterinarian. Adoption details:
In some instances, a meet and greet is not possible before adoption unless we have a foster home in New England available. Available for a Meeting confirms the dog is in a NE Foster home and available for a meeting in the city state provided. Most times our dogs get adopted before a foster home becomes available - and if so, they go straight to the adopters home. Foster parents talk to adopters and feel confident that this will be a match before our dogs are transported up. Also if by some chance it is not a match we have a safety net in place as we ask that adopters to let us know that it is not a match and we direct you to take the dog to a foster home or boarding kennel once that is arranged. If necessary, we will ask you to foster the dog until a foster home can be arranged.
Transport details:
We use Rescue Road Trips (rescueroadtrips.com), Pets LLC (petsllc.net) or CAFA Transport to deliver our precious pups on commercial rescue animal transport to designated locations. The fee is 185.00 which IS INCLUDED in your adoption fee already.
