Story
Meet Shaggy!! Shaggy is believed to be an 8-month-old double Merle Aussie poodle blend. He is wired fur and does shed. Shaggy was also born mostly blind and deaf but this does not hold him back at all. I don't believe he knows he's different. He adjusts just fine to any surroundings. Shaggy is dog cat and all small critter friendly from a flock of birds to indoor pet rabbits and has done well with them all. Shaggy loves human attention and interacts well with all he meets. He is an active playful outgoing happy-go, lucky social boy. He is at 31 pounds and fully grown. Shaggy would do best with another playful active dog in the home who will give him Qs guidance and correction. He needs this to thrive. He does best in a home where someone is home mostly, active, and enjoys the outdoors but also loves to stay in and snuggle with plenty of cuddles offered. Nothing wrong with binge-watching Netflix on those gloomy days. Patience is key with Shaggy as he is still very much a puppy and doesn't understand his limitations. Shaggy has been around and interacted/met over 200 dogs, and lives with cats, rabbits, and a large flock of chickens and ducks. Shaggy is house and crate trained. He learned within a day to use the bells at the door to let us know he needs to potty. Shaggy does great on car rides, walks awesomely on a leash, and works hard not to jump on humans. Shaggy does not see himself as a special need and nor should we. He is just a regular happy doggo. He needs a 6ft fence as he has managed to jump a 4ft fence lol. He is a puppy learning boundaries and manners and doing so well too. He is sweet outgoing and a burst of happiness on a daily. He's a great cuddled momma or daddy boy. He is adventurous so common sense on your part needs practice. Shaggy is house and crate trained, current to date on all appropriate core vaccines including lepto & corona, 1 or 3-year rabies, dewormed, fecal tested negative, microchipped including free registration for life, spay/neutered, heartworm & lyme diseases tested negative upon adoption, and on monthly heartworm flea/tick prevention. Out-of-state adopters are welcome at the adopter's expense. We do NOT ship and meet and greet are required before adoption unless you are a previous adopter. Please do not ask us to pay for this. Previous adopters of AHS have the first choice and are not expected to pay another adoption fee again. Donation of their choice is welcomed. Training is an ongoing process that needs to be worked on daily. New issues and opportunities arise daily that have to be addressed and or rewarded. Continued training is a must. Adoption process information can be found on our website www.animalhousesanctuary.org Name your price adoption with a minimum required fee. The adoption fees vary. $475 unless there is a promo fee/sponsored announcement.

Polly

Australian Shepherd

Female, Adult
Fishers, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We adopted Polly at 6 months old, and for the past 7 ½ years, she has brought us immeasurable joy. She loves walks, exploring new places, being outside, toys, treats and car rides. She is easy-going and does not require a lot of exercise, is fully house/crate-trained, respectful of belongings and never begs for food. Unfortunately, Polly developed increasing aggression toward our elderly dog, despite being together many years. While training improved her aggression toward other animals, she has not improved enough to allow her to stay in our home. She has no issues at dog daycare, so negative interactions with strangers or animals are typically in the presence of her trusted owners (resource guarding). Polly has knee issues that we manage with therapy & supplements. In a home with no pets and no young children (pulling hair, etc.), a caring environment & basic discipline, she will thrive. We love her and want her to find a happy home. We will supply crate, toys and 6 months of food.

Story
This pup showed up in our driveway the last weekend of August, so we're calling her Augusta. The vet says she's 4-6 years old. She's had puppies before, but we got her spayed and also got her current on all of her shots. She's a sweet dog to those she trusts, but can be aggressive when new people or dogs show up. At close to 70lbs, she's a handful to walk because she tends to pull on the leash. She's smart and responds well to treats - she'll be a good dog to train for someone with experience.

Hiya! My name is Brawny. I am a very sweet guy and shy of taking pictures. I did do my best. I don't play with toys much and I am very easy going on leash. I love meeting new people. I would love to go on a casual walk here and there that would help my weight some. I do fine with other dogs and with kids. I don't know about cats at this time. I really want a loving and caring home.To adopt one of our animals, please visit our shelter, open Tuesday-Friday from Noon-6pm and Saturday from Noon-4pm.
