Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please read the bio of the rescue you are interested in to insure you are a match if you are a match the first step is to complete the online adoption application  Ty was originally adopted in April of 2023 from us. Unfortunately his mom moved to a condo and they said he had to go. He has learned alot and is house and pad trained. He does pretty well on leash. He is a sweet mini Aussie who is romping ready to find his furever family. This boy has lots of energy and would do best with an active family.    If you’re looking for a companion that can keep up with the kids, join your family for a hike, but then relax next to your feet at the end of the day, this may be the perfect breed for you.  Ty is up to date on his vaccines,  dewormed,  microchipped and current on preventatives. He is also neutered. If interested in possible adoption please go to www.DelawareRescue.com and complete the online adoption application   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
URGENT Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- North Potomac, MD Meet Meatball! He is an 2 year old Miniature American Shepherd and weighs 27 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots and on heartworm prevention. Meatball is fearful of strangers! He is very protective of his family inside the home and will bark at strangers if they come inside or near the owner’s home. No younger children, due to his reactivity! He hasn’t been tested around older children or cats. He is good with dogs! He is housebroken, but isn’t crate-trained. Meatball bit the owner’s younger child’s friend in December 2024. The owner’s son and his friend were playing in the basement. Meatball realized there was someone new in their house, so he ran up and jumped on her son’s friend. The owner is surrendering him because she has younger children and he doesn’t do well with younger children. He needs to go by 3/31! If you think you can provide a great home for Meatball, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions. This fee will be donated to Australian Shepherds Furever for their assistance in placing Meatball. Owner’s Contact Information: Aryn at aryn313@gmail.com

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
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.

Story
Dog Name: Abel Breed: Aussie mix Sex: Male Age: Approx 8 Weight: 65lbs Medical Needs: Abel is heartworm positive. His appointments are February 17th and 18th at 2:00pm, at Avenue Veterinary Clinic in Milford, DE. Keeping these appointments is a condition of adoption, and adopters must live within 1 hour of Milford to ensure he can be brought back for his appointments. Abel is also blind, and was diagnosed with microphthalmia (small eyes). So long as he's given time to learn his surroundings, it doesn't affect him all that terribly. That nose leads him when his ears don't. Housebroken: He seems to be, but I keep a close eye on him and let him out frequently. Crate trained: Yes Good in the car: Yes, tends to just lay down Good on a leash: He follows me like a docile lamb, so long as he understands which direction we're going in. Sometimes he gets bouncy, but when I stand still and wait, he settles down. Energy level: Low Need a fenced in yard: No, leashed walks will be fine Dog Friendly: Yes, with proper introductions If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? He might enjoy a friend and potential “seeing eye” buddy, but it's not a requirement. Cat Friendly? He doesn't like them running around his kennel, and while out and about, he's been interested but not aggressive. Plus, if they run, he can't exactly chase them well. Kid Friendly: Unsure, but he's so dang sweet that I bet he is If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Children old enough to understand and respect his impairments. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Abel was surrendered to a shelter in Alabama with his siblings after their owner passed away. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the shelter’s coordinator, all six of them made it out - and here the old man is, thriving and loving life more and more every single day. Not being able to see barely slows him down at all; he's hesitant going up and down steps until he feels where the next one is under his paws, but the more he does it, the more confident he becomes. Being early in his golden years, this handsome fluffer is enjoying every comfort his foster home has to offer - a warm pile of blankets to sleep on, dog beds everywhere, and no little amount of love from the humans that dote on him… maybe a little too much, but keep that between us, ‘kay? Just know that whoever adopts this boy will be so, so blessed. He's not only grateful for every little bit of affection he gets, he'll even dance for it, and there's nothing better than happy-tappy toes and a wet nose.

Story
Dog name: Cassanova Sex: Male Breed: Australian Shepherd/Mix Age: 9 Months Weight: 46 lbs. Medical Needs: N/A Housebroken: Cassanova does well when taken out regularly. Crate Trained: Yes Good in the Car: Ehh. We've only done short rides so far. He gets a little nervous and needs some extra reassurance. Good on a leash: It’s a work in progress. Energy level: It never ends. So. Much. Energy. Need a fenced in yard: I’d say yes, unless you’re fully committed to daily exercise—this boy loves to run! Dog Friendly: Absolutely If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? Nope, he’d love to have you all to himself, but another dog might help burn off some of that energy Cat Friendly: He’s very curious! He should do fine with a dog-savvy cat. Kid Friendly: Hard to say for sure, but with supervision, he’d probably be okay. Might not be the best fit for super young kids, just because of his energy level and herding tendencies. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them: Casanova is the perfect mix of charm and chaos—a true gentleman with a giant heart. He loves toys and treats, but what he loves most is you. Personal space? Never heard of it. If he doesn’t get his exercise, he’ll quite literally bounce off the walls, he’s got an endless supply of energy (seriously, endless). Smart as a whip, he picks up on things quickly, and he’s not shy about using his voice—especially if he feels he’s not getting the attention he deserves. And attention? He thrives on it. Touch is his love language, and he’ll seek it out, especially when he needs a little extra comfort. If you’re looking for a dog who will keep you moving, and feeling very loved, Casanova is your guy! Foster location: Cassanova is being fostered in Felton, Delaware. If you're interested in Cassanova, you can find an application at grrde.org/adoption-application. If you already have an approved application on file, email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and say you're interested in Cassanova. ##2283116##
