Story
Carlton is ready to find his forever person. This sweet pup (12 - 13 years old) was adopted in 2021 by a loving man who is now, unfortunately, physically unable to care for him properly. They miss each other deeply. Carlton is the literal definition of a couch potato. His only purpose is to admire his human, play tug of war, and chase cats (no cats please). Carlton is great with people and other dogs. He does have some trepidation about my tiny seniors, but gives them the right of way in an apparent show of respect. He is neutered and UTD, house broken, and dog gone adorable. In November he had a needle aspiration biopsy for a lump on his chest. It was determined that it was a lipoma (fatty benign tumor). He's absolutely fine. Did I mention he's a couch potato? If you would like to give this sweet senior boy a loving home for his golden years, 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.

Story
Hey there! I'm Ace, a handsome Australian Cattle Dog mix with a whole lot of energy and personality! I'm sweet as can be once I get to know you, but I need an experienced dog owner who can keep up with my active lifestyle and help me stay on track. I'm definitely not for first-time dog owners—I'm smart, strong, and sometimes a little selective with my dog friends, so I’ll need a human who can guide me. I’d do best in a home with older kids (12+) who can handle my enthusiasm and energy levels!I *love* to play—whether it's fetch, tug-of-war, or just running around, I’m always up for some fun. I’m also a *super chewer*, so I need lots of good toys to keep me busy and entertained (no cheap squeakers, please—I’ll destroy them!). Walks? YES! I’m all about those—if you love long walks or hikes, I’ll be right there beside you. And one last thing: I’m not a fan of cats, so I’d prefer to have a cat-free home. If you’re looking for a loyal, active, and handsome guy who’s ready to show you all the love and adventure you can handle, I could be your perfect match! Let’s get moving!

Story
Hey there, kiddo. The name’s Gucci.Yep, just like the fancy stuff—because I am fancy, in my own rugged way. Born April 16th, 2013, I’ve seen a lot in my time, and I’m not just some pup anymore. I’m a distinguished gentleman, a seasoned soul who knows what he wants and—more importantly—what he doesn’t want.What do I want? Love. Affection. A nice comfy spot where I can settle in and let you brush me to my heart’s content. There’s nothing like a good brush-out to keep this old man looking dapper. And, if I’m honest, I wouldn’t mind a good snuggle afterward. You bring the love; I’ll bring the world-class cuddling skills.What don’t I want? Little kids tugging on my ears, cats thinking they own the place, and most dogs getting up in my business. I’ve earned my peace, thank you very much, and I’m not afraid to protect the ones I love. Call me smart, call me loyal—I’m both. Leash-trained? You bet. Housebroken? Always. I’m the total package wrapped up in a seasoned, no-nonsense bow.So, if you’re looking for a wise, protective companion who doesn’t mess around with nonsense, I’m your guy. A home where I can be the center of attention? Perfect. I’ve got plenty of love left to give.

Hi!! My name is Bruno. I am busy boy that has lots of energy! I do well on a leash and am potty trained. I will need to go to a home with no other animals as I can be a little jealous over my toys and do not like to share my food. I would need a home with adults because children just tend to make me a little nervous. Come meet me and you will see what a sweet boy I can be!

Story
Hi everyone! I am back here because my dad moved where he can no longer keep me. I was used to spending most of my time outdoors, I get very stressed if left indoors alone. The only way I like cats is as a snack! I do get along with other dogs. Would like a home with no cats and someone who can spend lots of time with me. I do seem to like women more than men. I also am good at climbing fences, so I do need to be watched while I'm outside. Born 12/4/2018.
