Story
Little Levi, this 10 month old pup is such a great guy! He is doing great in his foster home and gets along well with other dogs and cats. He also LOVES his toys, they are his babies and he also loves to carry around a stick when outside and is doing great at playing fetch! (check out video) He is working on his potty and leash training... He is a sweetheart and will make a wonderful addition to a loving family - he would do best with another pup in the home to continue to help him gain confidence, also he and Gaby do well together too if you are looking for two wonderful pups! His Story: Levi and his siblings were born under an abandoned house on a coffee farm across from the rescue in Puerto RIco... They are some of the sweetest, happiest and most playful pups at the shelter. Full of adventure and love, we are so happy that we were able to rescue them. Now it's time for their journey home!

Story
Meet Allie, a 2019 edition of a party colored Australian Shepherd x Border Collie weighing in at 42 lbs. This beautiful gal came to NWMNAR because her previous owner had to leave abroad to help take care of in-laws and could not take Allie with. Allie loves going to obedience class and showing how smart she is. Allie needs an Aussie savy owner her can outsmart her. She is best with dogs the same size, she has prey drive towards rabbits and may not do well with cats or other smaller animals possibly including smaller tiny dogs. Allie takes time with strangers and will often back away barking. Allie has been scared of men with hats in the past. She can be a bit barky towards other dogs on walks, but has been learning to play nice. She can be dominant towards other dogs. Allie doesn't like plastic crates, but does just fine in wire crate. Allie must be crated in a vehicle otherwise she will run around in a vehicle pushing window switches until she gets out. Allie is best to go for a walk before a car ride to ensure she doesn't nervous defecate in the vehicle. Allie hies and sleeps under the bed to keep the monsters away. Allie does like to vocalize herself if she sees other dogs outside when she is peering out the windows. She has just started to play with toys and gets groomed twice a week with a brush. Allie is available for adoption. Free adoption applications can be found on our website at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NMA/Dog. Because NWMNAR is not a public shelter, meet and greets do not take place until an application has been approved and a home visit has been completed in person or virtually.
