Story
Hi! Her name is Bella! She’s a Terrier Mix. Could be a PitBull, but Im not 100% sure. Her Birthday is 07/31/2021, she’s 4yrs old. A big baby really lol. She wants all of the affection and attention and she has her stubborn ways when she doesn't get it, just like a diva lol. I purchased her from a breeder and was told she was a cane corso/ boxer mix, but that obviously was not true. We still love her just as she is but we can no longer keep her due to my husband’s allergies, since they’ve worsened. This has been a long 4 yrs of him suffering and simply just cant do it any longer. I wish that was not the case, but I he needs to breathe easy. We’re looking for an experienced adopter and dog owner that will continue to give her the proper love, time, patience, and attention, support, and care, with continued obedience training. She’s very lovable, barely barks unless she senses something off. She very playful and great for a family with kids. She would make a great gift!

Story
In Olmsted Township - Hey everyone! Let us introduce you to Mr. Max R. Roni. Max is an almost 7 year old Australian Shepherd. He’s had a sad past, losing his home, his mom and dad and now looking for a forever home to accept him as he is. It’s time for Max to find his furever home and thrive. Max came to ASF grossly overweight. He has been with his foster for several months trying to get some of his weight off and to help him be happy again. He’s lost a lot of weight already and is feeling much better. Max is a gentle old soul. When in the house, he’s pretty chill… he’ll find his spot and most of the time he’ll hang there alone. He will bring you his tennis ball (his FAVORITE toy) and wants you to toss it once he gives it to you. Max really loves butt rubs and being petted. He gets super excited to go outside and play ball or chase or catch a rolled Frisbee. When it’s time to quit, he just finds a spot to lay down. Max gets nervous on car rides and isn’t a fan. He’s very content staying at home. Walks are okay; he’s a bigger boy so he does pull some. Max is great left in the house all day: no accidents, no destruction. He does like the couch and would prefer to share your bed. Max has an issue with resource guarding toys… all toys belong to Max. Thus, a home with a submissive female or as an only dog would be best. His submissive 2 year old female foster sister Aussie plays chase with him but will drop any toy she has when Max comes near. He wasn’t nice the first time, so she just lets him have any toy. (The male Aussie in the house did not back down and this didn’t go well at all.) Due to his resource guarding, a home with small children would not be advised nor any dominant dog. Max is a sweet boy who just needs to find the right home. Someone to pet him on the couch, toss the ball for him once in while, take him out in the yard while you work or enjoy sitting and watching the day pass. Max is neutered, microchipped, UTD on vaccines, housebroken, crate trained, and on HW/flea prevention. He is currently being fostered in Olmsted Township, OH. There is an additional $20 fee to transfer his microchip to his new owners. All adoption fees go to help rescue other dogs like Max.

Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Peninsula, OH Meet Cash! He is an 11 month old Australian Shepherd and weighs 50 lbs. He is neutered and up to date on shots, but isn’t on heartworm prevention. Cash is fearful of strangers! No children, because he is nervous around them. He is good with cats and dogs! Cash is housebroken and crate-trained. The owner is surrendering him because they moved in with their mother who has health issues. Their mother doesn’t have a yard and he is too much energy for her. He needs to go ASAP! If you think you can provide a great home for Cash, 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 Cash. Owner’s Contact Information: Theresa at tmorris@atnetplus.com

Story
Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Strongsville, OH *This dog doesn’t belong to ASF and hasn’t been evaluated by ASF.* Meet Riley! He is a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd mix (the other breed is unknown) and weighs around 80 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, and on heartworm prevention. Riley wants all of the attention! He would do best as the only dog or in a home with a dog who doesn’t mind him getting more attention. He hasn’t been tested around older children or cats. Riley needs a quiet home with older children or without any children, because he doesn’t like them yelling or running past him. The owner is surrendering him because he nips their children whenever they run or yell. He also resource guards food when around their other dog. He needs to go ASAP! If you think you can provide a great home for Riley, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $100 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions. This fee will be donated to Australian Shepherds Furever for their assistance in placing Riley. Owner’s Contact Information: Katharine k.mencini1@gmail.com

Story
Meet Schwartz! ??Schwartz is a big, handsome Shepherd/Rottweiler mix with an even bigger heart once he gets to know you. Like many dogs of his breeds, he’s loyal, smart, and protective — the kind of companion who bonds deeply with his people.He can be a bit nervous around new faces at first, but give him some time (and a few treats!) and you’ll see his loving, goofy side shine through. Once you’re in his circle of trust, Schwartz will be your best friend for life.This big guy loves his toys — especially when there’s a good game of fetch involved — and you’ll often find him zooming around the yard with his favorite squeaky in tow. Walks, treats, and playtime are his favorite parts of the day.Schwartz does well with playful female dogs but would prefer a home without kids. He’s looking for a calm, patient adopter who understands large breeds and will give him the time and structure he needs to feel secure.If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who will reward your patience with endless love and devotion, Schwartz might just be your perfect match. ??If you are interested in meeting Schwartz, please reach out to foster@cuyahogacounty.gov to schedule a meet-and-greet with this amazing adoptable boy!
