Story
Hello everyone! I am Goose in Terryville! Yes, yes, thank you - I am very handsome, aren’t I? Even if I am carrying a few extra pounds these days. Well, who isn’t at the age of 7 (or thereabouts - I’m not saying)? Although I do tolerate dogs and cats, I tend to want to be in charge all the time (duh), and of course all the people belong to me, so there can be conflict with others who won’t get with the program. And those kitties are SOOOOOO fun to herd that my foster Moms and the lady who picked me up think I’m probably best suited to a home where all the attention is mine and I don’t have to share (YES!!). I *may* be ok with a submissive female, but that would need to be evaluated with a meet and greet, and if there are other dogs / cats in the home, my adopted would need to be very experienced with how to manage different personalities so we were all set up to succeed. Because I like to herd, and because I am a bit of a drama queen when startled by young children, it is recommended that I go to a home without them. Older dog-savvy kids are OK. I can be loud and uneasy at first with strangers. If allowed some time to get used to them (and/or bribed with treats), I quickly lose interest in being dramatic and go for all the pets! I LOVE attention. Once I decide you’re ok, I want to be everywhere you are. In your lap, in whatever room you’re in, getting pet - I’ll roll right over for belly rubs once I’m comfortable. I give the BEST snuggles and smooches! I’m great in the car, not especially fond of vets but am muzzle-trained. I could also be given medication for that. I would do great with regular walks and my very own butler - er, person to love me and be my world. If you think I would be a good fit for you, please fill out an application for me at https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to my new furever family.

Story
Marmaduke is a big goofy lovebug! He adores children and other dogs. He is very curious about cats and chickens and is probably best in a home without those (or where he can be separated from them). He is about 1 year old and has been in rescue all his life. He had a medical issue as a puppy that required surgery and he is healed from that but needs 24/7 dog door access - he is doggie door trained. He will do best in a home with a secure fenced yard, another dog or dogs to play with that are not tiny since he's so big, and respectful animal-loving children that will love him as much as he loves them. If you are interested in Marmaduke, please fill out an application at our website: forrescue.net He is fostered in the Huntsville, AL area and we have determined because of his need for 24/7 dog door access he should be adopted locally in case an adopter cannot manage his condition and he must return to the rescue. We only want what is best for this amazingly sweet boy!

Story
Don't be fooled by my good looks!!! I am a female red merle mini with blue eyes and I live up to the sterotype. I pack a lot of punch in my 23 lbs and need an experienced owner. However, as the ONLY pet (no dogs, no cats) and no children, I will be your sweet, playful, loyal and fun companion. I know I will take a special home but I also know there is one out there just for me. If you think you can pass the tests (and there will be a lot of those) then please apply for me at forrescue.net Until then, I will be doing my cute spins and sits, getting belly rubs, and barking at all the other dogs (that I'm separated from) at my foster home. Thank you for considering me. Note: I am fostered in Huntsville, Alabama and am NOT available for transport so anyone interested in making their life more exciting with me in it must come to Huntsville to meet me.

Story
Meet Sherry - a smart, spirited red tri Australian Shepherd with a big personality and an even bigger love for play! At around 3 years old, Sherry is in her prime. She knows how to sit and shake, walks well on and off leash, and is always ready for her next adventure. Whether it's a game of fetch, a round of tug-of-war, or a ride in the car, Sherry is happiest when she is on the move and having fun. Sherry is a confident girl who likes to be in charge, so she's looking for a home where she can be the boss. She will do best as tghe dominant dog in the household and pairs better with dogs her size or larger who respect her space and leadership style. She's curious about cats but has shown that she can coexist peacefully without bothering them. True to her breed, she loves to observe the world around her - farm animals like goats, chickens, and pigs are endlessly fascinating to her and she could spend hours watching them. After a day of activity she enjoys some cuddle time, though she prefers affection on her own terms rather than constant attention. Sherry is heartworm positive but is on the path to recovery. She has begun her treatment but needs a local adopter so our FOR vet can see her through it. If you are looking for a loyal, playful and independent companion with a strong personality and love for life, Sherry just may be your perfect match. Sherry is spayed, chipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Her heartworm treatment will continue with a FOR vet post adoption with the oversight of a committed local adopter. If you are interested please fill out an application at our website forrescue.net

Story
COMING SOON IN TORRINGTON! Hi there! I’m Ryder. I am five (I think), 36 pounds of handsome, and I am a Border Collie mix. I’ve had all my shots and had that surgery on my unmentionables. Foster Mama says that like most Border Collies, I’m “a little intense.” I LOVE playing fetch. I mean, I LOVE playing fetch. I’ll fetch tennis balls, but my absolute favorite is a little squeaky football Foster Mama got me. My best quality is that I am very affectionate with people I like and trust. I love to be pet and to sit with and lean on my favorite people. I also give kisses and just want to be near you but I also like to explore. I will keep your yard bird free, cuz next to playing fetch with my football, chasing birds (and butterflies, leaves, air) is what I love best. Like most Border Collies, I am very sensitive to things that move or things that have changed. I have a routine for every time I go outside. I potty in pretty much the same place every time. I’m also a very fast learner and had the routine at my foster home down after one day. Once I figure out what you want me to do, I get it in a snap. I am on my best behavior in a crate. I don’t chew up my bed. Toys: Like I said, balls and anything I can fetch are my absolute favorite. I haven’t destroyed my plushies, but they’re just not my thing. I also don’t really care about the chew toys Foster Mama gave me. Sometimes I get really excited about my squeaky ball and I can get a bit grabby and jumpy when you try and take it from me, but I’m trying to remember to be good. Treats: I can be slow to eat when I’m nervous, but I love treats. Mama gives me these jerky treats I really love, and I also love pill pockets. Don’t know why they call them that, but maybe I eat them so fast I don’t even notice the pills in the pockets. They’re peanut butter flavored – YUM. Things you should understand about me: You should probably be experienced with / understand Border Collies if you’re going to adopt me. Foster Mama says I am not a first dog kind of guy, and I’m not the couch potato type. If you want a dog you can play with though, I’m your guy! I lived with kids, but am probably better with older kids since I can get a little grabby when I’m not paying attention. I am slow to trust strangers (although some people I like right away). If you have a lot of people come to visit you in your house, I may not be the best fit, or you’ll want to be comfortable with proper introductions for dogs like me that take some time to warm up to strangers. I don’t like it when there’s a fence between me and something I’m interested in, so I can bark and seem mean sometimes. And I love exercise. Foster Mama says that I should probably live somewhere that can give me at least an hour of exercise every day – fetch, or training, or frisbee, or something that gives me a job. Foster Mama and I play fetch about three times a day. I like being busy. If I get regular activity, I am really well behaved. Foster Mama is “housetraining” me to get used to pottying outside (I used to live in the city and use potty pads inside the home). So far I have not made one mistake! I am very sensitive to anything that changes. I have lots of zoomie moments and love to do laps around the yard when I’m outside. A fenced yard is probably best for me so I can get my zoomies out and not get into trouble with cars and people and pets going by. Mama says she’s still learning about me, and I’m going to have some sort of “test” to see if I can get along with other dogs. I hope it’s not written, because I can’t read or write. Foster Mama says that because I like chasing birds so much, I’m probably better off at a home where there aren’t other small animals like cats. I can’t help it – it’s fun to chase the birds and butterflies and watch them fly away. I have only been in foster care for a week, so it’s probably going to be another couple of weeks before I am available for my new furever family, but if you’re interested in learning more about me, please fill out the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to my new furever family.
