Story
Maple is a 2.5-year-old French Brittany who packs a whole lot of charm into her perfect 25-pound frame. Her foster family lovingly calls her “Meatball,” and honestly…it fits. She’s adorable, goofy, snuggly, and absolutely devoted to her people. Maple LOVES car rides, plush toys, and curling up next to you for belly rubs. She didn’t get much freedom or enrichment in her early life and likely spent most of her time in a kennel, so she came to us needing a refresher on potty training and some basic house habits. She’s made steady progress but still needs a patient family willing to keep her routine consistent. She can be a bit curious and may check out items that aren’t technically “hers,” so keeping tempting things out of reach and offering plenty of dog-safe toys will set her up for success. Maple does well in her kennel when her people are out of the house. She may give a little protest bark at first (she just has to make sure you know she has notes), but she settles down and rests quietly once she realizes she’s safe. Maple is not a dog that can live with or closely interact with other dogs. Through training, she has made progress in calmly seeing dogs at a distance with positive reinforcement, but pushing those interactions too quickly can cause anxiety for her. For her comfort and safety, she must be an only dog, and a fenced-in yard (ideally privacy fenced) would suit her best so she can explore and enjoy the outdoors stress-free. She’s playful, affectionate, and incredibly people-oriented. Maple has mastered “sit", and is working on more tricks, but needs a little patience since she isn’t very food motivated. Maple is spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Now she’s just waiting for a family who sees how special she is and can give her the structure, love, and dog-free home she deserves. Maple is currently in foster care in Wisconsin and has an adoption donation fee of $400.  If you are interested in adopting her and have been approved to adopt, let your state coordinator know you are interested in her.  If you haven’t yet done so, please go to: https://www.nbran.org/adopt/adoption-application to fill out an application.  Your state coordinator will contact you and take you through the approval process.  If your application looks like a possible fit for her, your coordinator will contact Maple’s coordinator and continue the screening process. Maple’s state coordinator is Hallie Barbara. She can be reached at Minnesotabrittany@gmail.com for questions or inquires.   Thank you for considering this sweet girl.  December 15, 2025, 9:27 am

Story
*This dog doesn’t belong to ASF and hasn’t been evaluated by ASF.* Meet Cooper! He is an 8-year-old Miniature American Shepherd and weighs around 20 lbs. He is neutered and up to date on shots (he is allergic to the rabies and DHPP vaccines) but isn’t on heartworm prevention. Cooper is nervous around strangers! He hasn’t been tested around younger children. He is good with older children and cats. He is good with the other dogs inside of the home but is nervous around dogs outside of the home! He isn’t housebroken or crate trained. The owner is surrendering him because her other dog doesn’t get along with him. He needs to go ASAP! If you think you can provide a great home for Cooper, 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 Cooper. Owner’s Contact Information: Jessica jessicakaylett@yahoo.com

1.5-year-old Pitbull / Australian Cattle Dog mix Not Neutered, fully vaccinated, and up to date on all vet care. High-energy, smart, and playful — would do best with an active individual or family who has time for exercise and engagement. Comes with crate, toys, food/water bowls, and supplies , bed everything I’m rehoming due to work schedule — he deserves more time and attention than I can give. Looking for a responsible, loving home.

Story
Juno is about 2.5 years old and such a loving, beautiful, energetic girl. She is house and kennel trained and can sit and lay down. She LOVES toys, stuffed animals, treats, and having her belly rubbed. She also loves running around or playing ball with kids and adults, but little kids (babies and toddlers) stress her out. She has been around 2 cats her whole life and she loves to play with them, although they typically are not willing participants lol. She would prefer a big yard and owners that have time to be active with her. This is a really hard decision for our family, but ultimately know that we cannot give her the time and attention we need with our 1 year old. I believe she is in need of some shots, but need to find her records.

Story
Mako is a 2 year bull terrier. His birthday is June 8. I got him in Virginia. I’m looking for a male who can give him more time and attention. Mako does have some behavioral issues. I do recommend more training as I do not have time do it. He is not good with other dogs nor cats and I would not say he is a family dog. He is very energetic and can be fun! Looking for someone to give him all the love and attention he deserves as I will also be moving and would love for him to go to a good home with a great new owner.
