Story
Arlo is a very high energy pup that needs his needs met every day. He is working on basic manners currently because the people we adopted from didn’t have time for him and was mostly in a kennel. We are unfortunately rehoming due to our older dogs not enjoying his company. He is too much for them and does not pick up on social cues. He does very well with dogs but would do better with dogs that are not 10 and 11 years old. He is mostly crate trained, knows sit, shake, place, roll over, out, take, and free. He is working on leash manners and it’s something we have been working on and would like his next family to continue. He is SO sweet, kinda clingy, and would do best in an active home. He is UTD on all vx, has had a dental this year, was neutered in October, UTD on prevention.

Story
In Cleveland, GA Wiggly Quiglee as we call him is the sweetest and most adorable pup you will ever meet. His butt gets the wiggles every time he meets a new person. He just wants to lick everyone to death. Seniors and kids alike adore this cute fluff. He may be a "senior" dog but his motor says otherwise. He could play for hours if given the chance. He was previously loved and owned by a senior citizen. Quiglee was his heart dog, but unfortunately his owner passed away and now Quiglee is missing a little piece of his heart. He wants to bring joy and love to a new family. He would make the absolutely sweetest therapy dog and would love to help children learn to read, to go on hospital visits or to bring a little joy to the lives of seniors in nursing homes. Quiglee knows most basic commands and is house-trained. Quiglee does not do well with cats. He has not shown any aggressive signs towards other dogs. Quiglee is located in Cleveland, GA. He is approximately 9 years old. He is up to date on shots and is neutered. Quiglee has a sister who he would love to be adopted with, but it is not a requirement. He name is Millie and she is also posted and there would be a discount if they were adopted together. Here is the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

Story
In Cleveland, GA - Millie is as sweet as peach pie. She would not ever try to hurt a fly. She absolutely loves to get loved on and will sit quietly by your side or in your lap for hours if you so desire. She is a very quiet dog for the most part except for when she hears the mailman. She was loved and owned by a senior citizen who passed away earlier this year and is now looking for a new forever home. She gets along great with all people and animals, although she prefers quieter households. She would never hurt a child or baby but she would likely not thrive in a home with loud children. She has never met a dog or cat that she did not like. She is trained to most basic commands and is house-trained. Millie is located in Cleveland, GA. She is approximately 10 years old. She is up to date on shots and is spayed. Millie has a brother who she would love to be adopted with, but it is not a requirement. If you choose to adopt both there will be a discount!

Story
Goose is a 1.5 year old Australian Shepherd and Border Collie mix. We received him from a friend who trains dogs. He knows the commands Sit, Stay, Wait, Down (lay down), Come, Off (get off furniture or people), and Go to Bed. He is crate trained, house broken, leash trained, and has been trained not to get on the couch or bed. He is a sweet friendly dog who loves activity and people. Goose needs a family with older children that can play and run around with him or a family that is very active and willing to take him along for the ride! He loves a great game of fetch and to go on runs or walks.
