Story
Adira was found running at large in Memphis and was subsequently brought to a veterinary clinic by a kind MPD Officer. She was severely emaciated and scared. “Addie” as she has come to be known, quickly made herself at home at her Foster’s farm while she gained weight and recuperated. She is now around 65 pounds and estimated to be 2-3 years old. Addie loves to play ball, go on long walks through the woods, run, ride in cars, and snuggle. She is wonderful for baths, tolerates nail trims, and more than anything, just wants to be anywhere her human is. Although she is high energy when the opportunity presents itself, Addie would make a suitable apartment dog for someone who works from home. Her foster family works from home and she spends the entire workday snuggled on her bed beside her foster mom while she works. Addie is kennel trained, but she is a large dog and would not be suited for kenneling all day while family or individual works. Addie will do best with an active lifestyle and plenty of time for play. She does need to be the only dog as she is an alpha female and does not share her humans or her territory. Addie is deeply loyal and very protective. She is friendly to new people if her person is friendly to them. Once adopted she will travel via private transport Rescue Vet (transport cost is $160.00) to a location closest to you.

Story
The following is a description of Hubert from his foster mom. Because, honestly who knows a pup better than the foster family! Hubert was found alone and scared on the interstate in Mississippi. When a nice lady stopped for him, he ran right to her. His foster family has had him vetted and neutered, and now they are treating his heartworms.  Hubert is about two years old. He is super cuddly, housebroken, crate-trained, and such a smart boy! He knows sit, stay, and down, and he will run to his crate and sit when you tell him to go to bed. He loves people and his toys, but he wants to chase the cat, and he is too high energy for the grumpy, elderly dogs in the home. So once Hubert has completed his heartworm treatment and is back to his active self, he hopes to have a forever home waiting for him. If you would like to make Hubert a part of your family please follow the link below to his adoption application https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Chaz

Australian Shepherd

Atkinson, ME
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Chaz is a smart, curious and very loving 6 month old boy who is eager to learn new things and please his person. He was rescued from an Oklahoma kill shelter and transported to NE to find his furever home. Chaz is is typical Oklahoma Australian Shepherd Stock Dog. He has the build, strength and size of the original Aussies bred by Oklahoma ranchers to herd their cattle and drive them to market. Chaz is playful and loves people and other dogs. He is more “chill” than your average Aussie, but still very Velcro. He is already a good sized boy for 6 months and from his paws we anticipate he could range into the 60-65 lb range full grown. If you don’t have cows but are an active, outdoors person looking for a companion for hikes, camping, biking, climbing, cross country skiing or snow shoeing, then Chaz is the boy for you! Or if you are looking for an older puppy to train for dog sports like agility, fast cat, fly ball and disk, Chaz has lots of potential as a sport dog. Chaz has the thick wavy stock dog coat that is practically waterproof. A couple of shakes and he’s just about dry. And he won’t be shedding as profusely as you typical Aussie. If Chaz sounds perfect for you, please fill out our application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoptions There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family, a REFUNDABLE $50 neuter deposit which will be refunded upon proof of neuter and a $150 transport fee which is a portion of what we were charged for professional transport from Oklahoma to New England. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts. There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family, a REFUNDABLE $50 spay deposit which will be refunded upon proof of spay and a $150 transport fee which is a portion of what we were charged for professional transport from Oklahoma to MA. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

Meet BANDIT Just absolutely adorable. We have a male and female very similar and siblings. These two will steal your heart and run off with it.

SOCKS is waiting on you! 🏡 They are approx. 7 wks old, full of energy and life and ready to shower you with lots of cuddles. Might one of these be your new best friend? 💖 Personality: SOCKS is every bit of typical puppy, goofy and playful. They can definitely wear themselves out playing and rough housing until they crash for long puppy naps. Both are great with all people and other dogs and would do great in a home where someone has time and patience to teach them all kinds of social skills and tricks. SOCKS is going to be great family companion and they are ready to be welcomed into your heart and home! 🏡 Ideal Home: SOCKS would do great in a family that has space to roam and explore, and maybe even another doggy sibling to make friends with. She would also be fine as a single pup. If you looking for a life long companion and friend this little doll is perfect for you. If you’re ready to give SOCKS a lifetime of belly rubs, treats, and a cozy bed, please reach out!
