URGENT Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Birmingham, AL Meet Finn! He is an 3 year old Australian Shepherd and weighs 42 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, and on heartworm prevention. Finn is hostile around strangers! No kids, cats, or dogs, due to his reactivity! He is housebroken and crate-trained. Finn jumped on a kid and bit him when was playing swords with the owner’s son. Finn was trying to protect the owner’s son. The owner is surrendering him because he has become too territorial and aggressive when visitors come to their home. They have worked with several trainers, but he is still too unpredictable. He needs to go immediately! If you think you can provide a great home for Finn, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions. This fee will be donated to Australian Shepherds Furever for their assistance in placing Finn. Owner’s Contact Information: John john.romano@raymondjames.com

Story
I rescued Rusty about a month ago now. His living conditions were not great for his age. Being around 10-11 years old he was living outside with no shelter, would sometimes go DAYS without food and sometimes water. The previous owner was not well and was struggling to care for him. He even threatened to euthanize Rusty. So we jumped into action. He was rescued and taken to the vet for treatment. He had not been to the vet in years. He got to the vet and was diagnosed with low level heartworms and he had many pressure points and sores where he had been laying on for several years while outside. And since then he has been in boarding and a home that could no longer care for him.

Story
Nova was a gift for my grandbabies but unfortunately my daughter wasn't aware of the work and time a puppy takes much less a very energetic shepsky. She's sweet and super playful. Nova is a 1 year old and loves to play fetch with her balls. She is completely crate trained and has always been a inside pup but we are still working on getting her house trained.

Story
we have had Grendel for 6-7 and he is about that old. We lived in an apt for a year and he was house trained then but he has since then been outside in a fenced in yard and heated dog house. We have a 4 yr old and a 1 yr old. He leaves them alone for the most part, I am just not comfortable with them out playing with him, so I put him on the leash when they are outside. He would love to play with them he is just so strong I’m scared he will accidentally hurt them. He get next to no attention from us. So when he does get it he is extra hyper and jumpy. He chews on anything left in the yard and digs. I assume that is because he is bored and could be fixed with attention. We have an older shih tzu that he leaves alone. We have found he will whine when away from our house. He will need someone that can take the time to work with him and let him adjust to a new home. He really needs somewhere where he can run and some one who is not intimidated by him jumping on them until that
