Story
Penny is a wonderful dog! She is very active! We are rehoming her because she is not getting along with our cat. We fear our home is making her too anxious and is putting our cat at risk. Penny needs walked at least twice a day and does best with additional mental and physical exercise! Like most herding dogs, she wants a job! And in our house she has decided her job is to keep the cats in line and play fetch. Has never had an accident in the house. Very food motivated so very trainable. Good on leash, but leash reactive to some dogs. Does not really care for other dogs off leash, but not agressive. Shy and anxious, especially towards men. Takes several meetings before warming up to new people in her home. Great manners, does not jump up on people or lick faces. She doesn't really like being on the furniture unless you ask her to cuddle with you. She will cuddle for a bit, but then wants her space. Best to go to a home without kids over 6 since they would understand her boundaries.

Murphy

Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult
Columbus, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Murphy came in with his brother Mack. Both are sweet, loving, mid- to high-energy boys. Murphy started out more independent than his brother and still probably is a bit, but he also seeks out attention from time to time and can be very affectionate. Murphy looks more like pure Aussie than his brother, but he may still be mixed. We'd love Murphy and Mack to be adopted together. They are bonded and thrive in each other's company and the company of other dogs. A physically fenced yard is required. Murphy is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio.

Story
Mack came in with his brother Murphy. Both are sweet, loving, mid- to high-energy boys. Mack has been just about the sweetest boy ever from moment one—extremely affectionate and just loves giving you big Mack hugs. He loves when you let him be a Velcro dog, but don’t get the wrong idea—when you need your own space, he is very good about not being pushy about it. Mack’s brother Murphy looks more like pure Aussie, but we’re pretty sure that’s Mack’s mix as well. We'd love Mack and Murphy to be adopted together. They are bonded and thrive in each other's company and the company of other dogs. A physically fenced yard is required. Mack is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio. If you are interested in adopting Mack, please complete the online application here (copy and paste into your browser): https://hhdane.formstack.com/forms/lostpetrecoveryadoptionform
