Story
Koda was adopted from Haven Humane in Redding. He’s 11 months old and acts the part. He’s incredibly energetic and will play for as long as you’ll let him. He’s more than happy to be around people and other dogs. He has some basic skills like sitting, laying down, touch (touching his nose to your hand), and the occasional lay-down stay. Koda would love a home with lots of room to play and run around with lots of dogs or people to keep him company. He’ll more than likely be the happiest dog you’ll ever meet.

Story
Meet Shuman in Auburn, CA, Shuman is a beautiful young, fast and sweet 1year old Aussie mix. He is a lean, tall 50 lbs. Shuman is neutered and UTD on vaccines and Heartworm/flee & tick prevention. He gets along with other well-mannered energetic dogs, but NOT cats. He is playful, loves toys, is good on a leash and is learning Sit, Down & Stay. This is all new to him so continued training will be necessary. His foster mom thinks of him as a sweet puppy in a teenage dog body. Shuman came to us a little over a month ago from a Central California Shelter. He had been at the shelter for a month or so while awaiting his Stray hold to be done. It seems that Shuman had been on the streets, and it took Animal services a while to catch/trap him. The Shelter staff reached out to find him a foster because he was so shy and shut down. He wouldn't eat or come out of the corner for affection. It was very unlikely that he would get adopted while at the shelter. While at his foster home in Northern California, Shuman has taken a while to warm up and begin to trust his foster mom & dad. He is gaining confidence though and with that is showing his true puppylike personality. Though Shuman is still shy with people he does take to some people more quickly than others. He is leery of being caught or grabbed and will need time and lots of patience with his new people. Once Shuman learns to love and trust you, he'll show his fun silly nature. He may even steal one of your socks to show how much he loves you. Shuman will need a secure environment with a very well fenced yard. Because Shuman needs time to learn to trust his new people, he may try to 'escape' so should be kept on a leash (even in the fenced yard) for the first three weeks in his new home. Foster mom feels Shuman would do well with an active person, maybe someone who would like a running partner. Shuman- Loves toys, Young dog, puppylike and gaining social confidence Needs other well-behaved dogs to model after NO CATS Chickens- not recommended for New owner- Patient Active and experienced dog owsner-maybe a runner? If you sound like a great match for Shuman, here is the link to the app: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new family. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

Story
This handsome young boy is a sweet Aussie mix who is named after the kind pilot that flew him to his foster family in Auburn, CA. Shu is a lean, tall 50 lbs., is neutered and UTD on vaccines and Heartworm/flee & tick prevention. He has quite a story… Shuman came from a Central California Shelter where he was not thriving. He was shut down and scared. Even animal control had a heck of a time trapping him off the streets. In the shelter, he was shy and wouldn’t eat or come out of the corner for affection. It was very likely he would have been euthanized had his foster parents not taken a chance to rehabilitate him. He is one lucky pup! Today, less than three months later, Shuman has blossomed. He plays well with other polite dogs, loves toys, and is good on a leash. He has been learning some commands while with his foster family and knows Sit and Down. He is working on Stay and waiting at the thresholds. Shuman now trusts his foster mom and dad but needs time to warm up to strangers. He has gained some confidence, and his true puppy-like personality is showing through. He has begun to walk up to neighbors for pets and treats while out on walks and greet his foster family at the door with a wagging tail. Shuman loves his balls too and will bark enthusiastically for ball play. Sometimes he entertains himself by throwing the ball up and catching it. How Aussie is that? Shu is crate trained and will need one in his new home because it’s his safe place when he feels afraid or needs a break. In the evening, Shuman looks for something to chew on, so his crate is a good place for him to enjoy a chew toy or bully stick. You know the saying: You get out of a relationship what you put into it? With Shu, it will be that way. Shuman will need lots of patience with his new people. He occasionally will chew on things. He shouldn't but takes redirection well. He is not a dog you will meet and get lots of love from instantly. He says,” I am no labrador!” He will need a secure environment with a very well fenced yard; he may try to ‘escape’ if he gets frightened so should be kept on a leash (even in the fenced yard) for the first few weeks in his new home for insurance. Shuman is afraid of quick movements and does not like loud popping noises like gunshots or chopping wood and will seek a place to hide when he hears them. This sweetie has a really good off switch and will relax most of the day but he loves to get his walkies out in the morning and evening so will do well with an active person, maybe someone who would like a running partner. No cats, chickens or other small animals please. Once Shuman learns to love and trust you, he’ll show his fun, silly nature. We think he has made incredible gains in a short time and will continue to be a Good Boy with the right EXPERIENCED family. He may even ‘sit pretty’ and put his paws on you for affection which is so endearing; when he does this, you’ll know you’ve become his person. Please consider this boy. He deserves a soft warm bed with you to cuddle with! If he sounds perfect for your family, here is the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoptions There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.

Oliver

Australian Shepherd Corgi

Male, 2 yrs

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Remember Oliver? The Charming “Auggie” (Aussie/Corgi mix)! At just 2 years old and 36 lbs, Oliver is an affectionate and energetic companion looking for his velcro human. This lovable “incorgnito” was returned to ASF because he requires a home with herding dog experience. In his foster home, Oliver has shown himself to be a loving, enthusiastic young dog with typical herder behaviors. His ideal home will be with someone who understands the energetic nature of a herding dog and can provide the structure he needs to be his best self. What You’ll Love About Oliver: • Social Butterfly: Oliver loves people and has shown a preference for women, but he’s also affectionate toward his foster dad too. He enjoys playdates with small-to-medium female dogs and plays very nicely with his foster siblings. However, he’s not a fan of large male dogs, so his best match would be with female canine companions. • Cat-Friendly: Oliver totally ignores the cat in his foster home, making him a good match for homes with cats. • Great on Walks: He’s a joy on the leash and loves to explore the outdoors. • Easygoing in a Pack: Oliver lives with three foster siblings, so he has no problem being one of many dogs (as long as they aren’t male) in a lively household. His foster’s home is also along a walking path with dozens of dogs passing by each day, yet Oliver pays no attention to them through the fence. • Cuddle Bug and Adventure Buddy: Oliver’s energetic, fun-loving nature makes him the perfect companion for all your outdoor adventures, while his cuddly demeanor at home means you’re also getting a top-notch snuggle buddy for lazy days in. After a long day of playing, he enjoys hanging out with his foster mom on the outdoor sofa watching the sunset in addition to cuddling up in bed at night to watch TV. He’s the perfect size to be your cozy little couch potato and bedbug! Things to Know: Oliver is a herding dog through and through, which means he thrives on structure, mental enrichment, and physical activity each day. Without this, his energy can build up and lead to overexcitement, sometimes displaying as excitement-driven mouthiness, which might be intimidating for those without breed experience. His foster has never seen any aggressive behavior—just an overly enthusiastic herder who needs gentle guidance! A great match for Oliver would be an adopter who can commit to: • A Structured Daily Routine: Oliver thrives on a consistent routine that includes scheduled mealtimes, playtime, potty breaks, enrichment, physical activities, and enforced nap times. His foster will be happy to share the routine that has helped Oliver flourish! • A Flexible Environment: No apartments or homes with strict noise regulations, as Oliver is quite vocal and tends to excessively bark when excited or needing something. For this reason, he’s not suited to sound-sensitive or easily overstimulated owners. With positive reinforcement when quiet, he’s learning to settle down nicely. • Positive Training: Oliver is a quick learner, though he’s still working on his “stay” commands since his excitement leads to struggles with settling. He’ll need a patient adopter to continue his training using calm, positive training methods. Oliver’s Ideal Home: Oliver’s foster parent has noticed he’s a bit too excitable for homes with small children, as he may accidentally scratch them when he jumps up in excitement. He’d do best in a home with older children or adults only, ideally in a multi-dog household where he won’t get bored (but without other male dogs). He’ll thrive with adopters who have experience with herding breeds and understand his need for structure and enrichment. Oliver has made excellent strides in obedience, is crate-trained, and has been fully potty-trained with no accidents at his foster home. With a consistent routine and a loving, patient adopter, Oliver will thrive and bring endless joy to the right family. If you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application on the ASF website. Adopt: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application * Oliver is currently fostered in Contra Costa County, Northern California. There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.

Story
Boomer is a sweet dog with a lot of energy. He loves being petted and going for walks. He does not do well with farm animals (goats, horses, chickens) as he has an innate sense to herd them- without the proper training a herding dog would need. He would be great for a family or with anyone who will love on him or have the time to take him out to burn off energy.
