My daughter and I said goodbye to our loved Australian Sheppard over the summer due to health concerns. We made an emotional decision to try again. I am disabled and have found that I cannot keep up with this little guy. I am hoping that someone can give him a forever home that he deserves.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Our beautiful April is looking for her forever home. She is an 18 month old maybe Austalian Shepard mix! She has been hanging out in a foster home learning how to be a good houseguest. April was found running the streets with another mom and some puppies. She loves other dogs, she likes to walk with other dogs and hang around the house watching tv with her foster cousin Juno, a black Lab! From her foster mom: “April is a sweetheart. She needs a young family with another pup to roll around with. She's potty trained, she loves to go on walks and observe the squirrels. She's very social once she feels comfortable with you. She doesn't like loud noises, but loves classical music. She's a kitchen dog, always wanting to know what you're doing in there...and is there going to be any chicken for her. April, like many women, has a shoe obsession. She doesn't chew the shoes but she will pick one up and carry it around. Her favorite is my rubber garden shoe. She also loves to look at herself in the mirror. I have yet to hear her bark. She was spayed the other day and I heard one little whimper that night. Otherwise, she simply laid down next to me, lifted one leg so I could see what had happened to her and give her a little belly rub. She is used to riding in the car now. I have taken her on short trips to acclimate her to the car. She starts out on the floor, but soon moves up to the sitting on the seat in back and is no longer afraid to get in or out of the car. Today, we made a quick trip to Petco to look for a toy. She was so well behaved and sweet. If you are reading this and thinking about meeting Ms. April, I guarantee that you'll never regret it. She's a wonderful girl who will be your loving and devoted pooch. She is an absolute delight.” If you'd like to meet April apply at projecthopearf.org !Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 11, 2026, 12:41 am

Story
Mario (aka Snickers) is ready for his forever home! This boy is the sweetest! In addition to being so handsome, He LOVES to snuggle and give affection. He gets along with all of the people that he meets. He adores his dog friends and is more submissive so will let someone else be in charge. He's a good boy with some basic training. He has already mastered the doggie door at his foster home and catches on to new routines and tricks quickly. Smart and handsome! We also found out that his original name was Snickers so he answers to Snickers and Mario. He's the dog with many names! He weighs 42 lbs and is about 1.5 years old. Let's find him a home for the holidays!
