Story
This friend has just arrived to us on transport from a high-intake shelter partner! When our friends are new to us, we are often unsure of their full background. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
Meet Lacey in MIlton! A 10-month-old female, black tri, Australian Shepherd. She is Fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. On Interceptor Plus heartworm preventative. Lacey is searching for her special person to help her shine. She will need a patient and dedicated owner to bring out her best qualities. Although Lacey is incredibly shy and is unsure of new people and surroundings, she is the sweetest and most lovable dog on the planet! She loves to snuggle and lay right up next to you. She will be your most loyal companion. Lacey’s ideal home would have a canine buddy to help give her confidence and a fenced yard (mandatory) to run and play. She even likes cats. A quiet home with no small children would be best at first as she has not been around children. She will need more socialization in different environments to encourage her to conquer her shyness. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body, just unsure of new situations and people. Lacey is house trained, although she is still a puppy and can whittle a little if scared and has had too much water after playing with her buddies. She currently lives with two dogs and a cat along with her two humans, to which she is very attached. She is crated only when no one is home as she cries a lot in her crate. She would do well if her humans were home with her most of the day. Lacey would benefit from more leash time as she was initially afraid of being on a leash, so more walks will help boost her confidence. Lacey is truly a special puppy with a lot of love to give. Her foster will have a hard time giving her up! If Lacey sounds like the perfect partner for you, please start the adoption process today to give Lacey her furever home. Currently located in Milton, DE. Multiple meet and greets may be needed, so please keep distance in mind when applying for her. Breed experience is a plus. Time, patience and love are mandatory requirements for Lacey! (Lacey is a sibling to ASF Toby, currently being fostered in VA.) Here is the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to her new furever family. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

Story
ABOUT MAGS Although she hasn't been with us long, Mags quickly became a volunteer favorite for her gorgeous looks and playful personality! Mags is a 10-month-old shepherd mix with lots of love to give! She came to HAP from a local shelter partner when they no longer had space for her. Mags already knows basic commands, walks well with a harness, and is learning to be gentle during play. She has done well meeting other dogs on walks too. While some pups may feel down at the shelter, Mags is happy to make new friends! She loves all people, greeting everyone with a big hug or leaning her butt into you for pets. Mags has participated in our Doggy Day Out program, check out what our volunteers had to say about their days together: "We got to take mags out to the Art on the Green Fair and it was so much fun! Mags only wanted to lay in the grass when we got out of the car but quickly warmed up when she was around people. She gave so many hugs and kisses to everyone around. She did pull quite a bit, especially around other dogs but it was all because of how excited she was to be around everyone! Lovely and beautiful dog!" - Gabriella "I had so much fun hanging out with Mags today! She is such a cuddle bug and will make a great family dog. We hung out at my house with my roommates and then played fetch in the yard. She is so silly we loved her energy!" - Abigayle **Mags would do best in a home without cats or small animals!

Story
Dog Name: Alanis Breed: Miniature Australian Shepherd Sex: Spayed Female Age: Approximately 5 yrs old Weight: 21 lbs Medical Needs: None Housebroken: Yes Crate trained: Yes Good in the car: Yes Good on a leash: Yes, but still a flight risk as she is timid when out of her normal environment Energy level: Medium Need a fenced in yard: Yes, as she is still new to being on a leash and being in a home I would recommend a fence. Dog Friendly: Yes If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? Yes. Cat Friendly? Unknown Kid Friendly: she would not be a fan If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? N/A Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Maple is a former mill mama that has spent the last 10 months with me learning that people are good. She’s a low-medium energy miniature Australian Shepherd tipping the scale at right around 21 lbs. When Maple first got here it was clear she had lived a sheltered life. She did not interact with people at all, wouldn’t come in the house, and ignored the other dogs. Since living with my crew (3 standard Aussies, a Lab/Heeler, and a Great Dane, she has learned to interact and reside peacefully with them all. While she’s cute and looks huggable, she isn’t quite there yet, and still will require a home that is willing to allow her the time she needs to become more comfortable. She is still very fearful when out of her normal environment, and for that reason she should be considered a flight risk. She comes when called and crates when told to. She does tend to chew on shoes, which is something she recently picked up when I started going back to the office. She will take pets occasionally when out free, takes them when on a leash and in her crate. She’s done well with her vet visits as long as the vet takes their time with her. I don’t know if she will ever be a cute lap dog because she’s still a bit of a work in progress when it comes to picking up and petting, but she does enjoy getting loved on and paid attention to. She also seems to prefer women to men, although she’s done okay with both in my home. She’s a fun little girl that is looking for the right home that can be patient and supportive with her as she continues to learn how amazing people can be.
