Story
Meet Merle, a 2 year male border collie. Merle is super sweet and has never met a stranger. He is very outgoing and just wants to please his people. Merle is your typical Border Collie who has a busy mind and needs lots of room to run. He would be best suited to an active home or a home with some property. Merle likes to run and play with other dogs but much prefers his people. He has a good recall but needs further training. Merle acts like a big floppy puppy and could use some work on training. We have already made a lot of progress with traits like jumping up on people but some further work would be recommended. He is very good natured and everything he does has good intent, just a young excited dog. Merle is one of those dogs that just wants assurance that he is a good boy. He is very gentle and has a “soft” disposition. He is also sensitive so an experienced handler is a must. Merle’s main hurdle right now is crate training and being left alone. We are experiencing some separation anxiety and he does need to be crated when left alone. He loads up in the crate nicely but will bark when left alone, so this will need to be considered managing with adoption. Merle Needs A home with border collie or herding dog experience A home where people are present more often than not to Work on further training like manners and separation anxiety An active and stimulating home (great hiking and running partner!) A home that has a secure yard Another friendly dog would be a bonus NO CONDOS, APARTMENTS, OR CONDENSED LIVING I know this is often said about working breeds, but this dog really needs a job. Whether its stockdog or pursuing sport prospect, Merle really needs and outlet. The good news he does have an off button and settles nicely in the evening. He really loves affection and can be a cuddle bug. Merle is neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on vaccines. Mostly house trained. If he sounds perfect for you, please fill out our application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.

All of our foster dogs are kept in individual homes.  Go to our website Bayareasiberian.org to get the foster home contact if you do not see it in the bio.Meet Aurora: A Sweet Survivor Ready for Love! Introducing Aurora, a beautiful blue-eyed Husky who has endured a tough past but is now ready to find her forever home. Aurora was rescued from a heartbreaking situation in Texas, where she was stuck in a small pen with two other huskies, deprived of food, water, and shade in the scorching heat. Despite the neglect she faced, Aurora’s spirit remains unbroken, and she is one of the sweetest and friendliest dogs you will ever meet. Aurora loves everyone she meets and has a special way of making you feel loved with her gentle nature. She enjoys being vocal, but her cute howls are more endearing than loud and repetitive. One of her favorite things to do is lean on you and give kisses, showing just how affectionate and grateful she is for any attention and love. On a leash, Aurora is pretty easygoing and prefers a leisurely pace over running. She’s not particularly into toys but finds joy in simple pleasures like walks and cuddles. When greeting new friends, she might jump a little out of excitement, but her enthusiasm is always sweet and never overwhelming. Aurora is looking for a loving home where she can be cherished and cared for. If you’re ready to open your heart to a dog who has so much love to give, Aurora is waiting to meet you. Fill out the adoption form and give this sweet girl the happy ending she deserves.https://docs.google.com/forms/d/17jZd71sPhj-SGmchmWlB80DkIjVq3S-6dB8b33Jn5Ls/edit Please fill out an adoption form to meet her!!

Story
Foster, Adopt or Foster to adopt handsome Rocky!   Rocky’s beautiful eyes tell a history of abuse and neglect, but still hold a hope and love that will melt your heart. Although Rocky is initially shy, he greets trusted friends with a tail wag and asks for neck scratches. Just give him time to settle in, and Rocky will devote himself to you!   Rocky is a mellow fellow. He likes to always be near his trusted person, but doesn’t pester for attention. If he is given access to a yard, Rocky will move between indoor naps and outdoor activity on his own. He has been patient with up to four other dogs on our “pack walks” - even when the leash got tangled! Rocky loves to learn and is great in the car and on leash, and dog- and cat-friendly. Daily walks, yard time, and your presence will make him perfectly happy.    Rocky is 5+ years old, neutered, vaccinated, and healthy. He will be a wonderful companion in a calm, dog-savvy home. Because Rocky is happiest in a calm environment, we recommend a home without children. Rocky’s family needs to provide him with mental and physical enrichment and activities, help him build his confidence, and train him using force-free, positive, reward-based methods.    Please open your heart and home to Rocky! We will consider a foster, adopt, or foster-to-adopt arrangement.  http://www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow September 22, 2024, 12:05 am

Story
Foster, Adopt OR Foster-to-Adopt me! Sweet pittie Tito has beautiful eyes, a contagious grin… and a purr?   Two-year-old Tito is healthy, potty trained, walks well on leash, and loves learning new tricks. Long hikes on the weekend get Tito’s energy out, and he spends his weekdays napping on blankets near his foster mom. Tito is easy-and naturally quiet. He rarely barks, but makes piggy snorts and purrs throughout the day.  (We think he’s 1/3 dog, 1/3 cat, and 1/3 pig!)   Tito was shy when he arrived at the shelter, but warmed up with treats and attention. He  bonds tightly to any gentle person who shows him patience and love. Once you’re his person, sweet Tito enjoys giving kisses, getting couch cuddles, and making you laugh with silly bum-wiggles!    Tito loves other dogs, and easily made friends in shelter playgroups. He will be a fantastic brother for another dog.    Tito needs a dog-savvy home, ideally with a yard so Tito can roll around on the grass. (As we said - part pig.) We recommend a home without small children; Tito seems to like kids, but can be a bowling ball when he gets the zoomies. He needs a patient family that commits to positive training methods - this gentle boy needs spoiling, not discipline!   If you can give that to Tito, he will repay you with silliness, loyalty, and love.     Please help us learn more about you by filling out our online application: www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow and we will arrange a meet and greet!  September 22, 2024, 12:05 am
