Story
Hey all, this is Archer. He is a 3 year old purebread Border Collie, great with our kids and other dog. We also have a Cat, and while Archer has never been aggressive of any kind, he has a strong herding instinct and will follow the cat around the house. We're looking to find him a new home for a few reasons, primarily we want our cat to be able to relax in the house more and not be followed so much, but we also want Archer to have a more active lifestyle. Ideally we could find him a home that has some wide outdoor space so he could run and play, and if he was given a job to do he would love it. We want to find Archer a great home with a more active lifestyle for him, so if you have any questions please let us know.

Story
I have had my dog Ellie since May of 2020, She was born in December of 2018. I potty trained her, crate trained her, taught her how to use the stairs, taught her commands, such as come, sit, down, shake, and she has an amazing recall for her name. She is 100% Border Collie (I have her papers) and is not spayed. She is up to date with all vaccinations. She is full grown and 35lbs, I think she was the runt of the litter! Ultimately, I am making the decision to rehome her because I do not think that she gets the amount of attention and care that she deserves. She needs to be in a home with someone experienced with dogs with anxiety. She gets along with dogs when I take her to the dog park, but would much rather sit next to me then play with the dogs. She has always been the sweetest dog to me and a very small selection of people. She is not destructive at all. She will “steal” stuffed animals or socks etc. and put them in her bed, but does not chew them up, like she is “collecting” things

Story
Gail is a smart and eager to please beagle mix who is blossoming into a truly wonderful dog. Gail was severely under socialized during her first months of life and had no understanding of how to exist with people. While in rescue she has learned all about how to be a part of a home, and now her foster mom is helping her to learn how to exist stress free outside of the house so that she can enjoy going on adventures with her future forever family. She is potty trained (with the rare exception of excited peeing), kennel trained and walks well on a leash when hiking on local trails.  Her ideal forever family will be an adult only home that has at least one other dog that likes to play. She is open to kids in her family’s future but would like to get to know her parents first. She is looking for a home with a fully fenced yard. Gail is not great at first introductions so we would like to find an adopter who is open to meeting her a couple of times before diving into forever with Gail. We promise she is worth the time investment.  Gail is spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated.  Gail is a year old and 35lbs.   To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $200 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs or outside kennel dogs.  We do not ship dogs.   All of our dogs are in private foster homes. We are not a shelter with hours. A visit can be arranged after an adoption questionnaire has been filled out and sent in. Please try to email first. We are all volunteers that work so we can not easily take or make phone calls.December 14, 2024, 4:02 pm

Story
Kadie is a sweet aussie mix b.10/2019 looking for an active family, preferably with herding dog experience who understands the needs of thebreed.Kadie is a very smart and energetic girl with a strong herding instinct. This sweet pup has come a long way with her current owner but,unfortunately, Kadie had a rough start to her life. She is looking for a forever homethat can offer her some basic training/help her learn commands and a patient familythat wants to help a smart young dog work through a few rough patches. Kadie loves to meet new people and is a social butterfly, her favorite people tend to be kids of all ages! Kadieis a verysmart dog who requires daily exercise (long walks or backyard play), would benefit from a routine, and would love someone who can continue to build her confidence/trust through training and socialization. Sheis very food motivated and is already kennel trained.Kadie hasn't been around too many dogs and is a little hit or miss when it comes to making canine friends, she tends to like the smaller chill senior pups. She is notabig fan of them on her walks, but she's had some postive interactions.Because of her limited interactions with other 4 legged friends, her formerowner thinks that she might do best as an only dog or in a home with a calm, older, wiser dogto provide comfort and friendship while she learns the ropes. Kadieis ready to go home andsettle in with a family that understands her needs and can give her the love she deserves! The suggested adoption donation for Kadieis $350.

Story
Hank (b. 2/2021) is an affectionate Australian Shepherd mix.  He's a really good boy, he just gets a little nervous sometimes.  He loves snuggling and giving hugs or getting pets. He will even stand on his hind legs to get hugs!  He does great with his toys and will let you take them with no problems.  He is a VERY active dog, and loves to play tug-o-war and fetch (even though he doesn’t always want to drop the ball). He would do anything for a treat or an ice cube… he loves to catch and eat ice cubes as fast as he can. Hank is looking for an adult only home and even better if you work from home or are home often.  He needs someone that would be willing to work with him and give him a little training.  A fenced-in yard would be preferred since he has a ton of energy.  Hank is a little sensitve about having his paws touched and it just depends on his mood whether or not he will let you.  If you are calm and patient, then you just might be the perfect match for Hank.  Apply today!! The suggested adoption donation for Hank is $325. Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization which means that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
