Story
Dog Day Out, 7/27/24:Rocky was great today. He is a super friendly and sweet dog. I had initially wanted to see how he would do in a more relaxed environment instead of just taking him on a hike. Let me start by saying that Rocky is one of the sweetest dogs I`ve been around. He`s super relaxed once we gets to know you and you`ll notice a demeanor change once he`s warmed up to you! He`s a huge snuggle bug and was perfectly content with laying on my wood floor while I laid on the sofa. We had some lunch and Rocky did not beg and went to lay down, not paying much mind to the food we had. He is super sweet and he walks okay on the leash but there`s room for improvement. I would adopt this dog if my family member was not allergic. He is great! Foster notes, 6/1/24:Rocky is such a sweet pup! It definitely took him some time to come out of his shell and warm up to everyone. It took him longer to get comfortable with my husband than myself. He has been great with our 3 and 6 year old kids--he`s not bothered by them at all. A weird thing we learned is that he can walk UP stairs, but he is afraid to walk back DOWN them... It`s possible that this is because our stairs are narrow and hardwood, but he wouldn`t go near them and eventually had to be carried down. He`s very laid back about eating--just sort of grazes and has no food aggression. He lets you know when he needs to go out to potty. Mostly he follows me from room to room and just lays near wherever I am. He doesn`t bark at all, is very relaxed, but always seems down for an outing! At first, he didn`t seem to know any commands or even respond very well to his name. But once he got more comfortable and I got some treats, he seemed to know the drill. I haven`t tried to do too many commands, but we are going to keep working on it. He walks well on a leash. He doesn`t pull at all, but I don`t think he has a lot of practice with it because he doesn`t have leash awareness--he walks on the opposite side of poles or wraps himself or others up, etc. We have just been doing a once a day around the block walk and will hopefully get better. We left him home alone for just an hour and a half so far and he did fine. He wasn`t happy about us leaving, but didn`t bark or whine. When we got back, he was laying right by the door and nothing was chewed and no accidents. He REALLY doesn`t seem to like water. We wanted to give him a bath and he was not having it, lol!Foster notes, 4/30/24:Rocky is

Story
Willow is a beautiful and sweet purebred australian shepherd. She is 100% a velcro dog wanting nothing more than to be with her people. She will greet you with excitement at the door and follow you everywhere you go in the house. At night she will quietly sleep beside you in her dog bed. Willow has a fairly low energy level for an australian shepherd and is happy to play fetch with a ball a few times a day or go for a walk and then rest by your side. She is 35 pounds of love and almost solid black; she has the smallest touch of white on her chin. Willow is excellent with children. We have two children under 5 that have climbed on her and played with her, taken her toys or bones, and she's always loving and patient. She has a fairly high prey drive so I would not trust her alone with a cat. We have another dog in the house and they get on fine and play together but Willow will guard her food from other animals. She will be three years old in December.

Story
Mia is being fostered by me for now and is a sweet, smart girl. Here she wrote: I need a job. I am behaved and I know commands but I need lots of activity. A job is the answer for me. I am a mini Aussie/Lab mix, love humans and dogs. Never seen a cat so I don’t know what they are. I also love water, love to run and occasionally try to herd other animals. I need someone with a big yard and/or time to work with me. I know I would be good with agility training and you should see me dribble a ball. I could be the next Ronaldo! I have tons of potential so please give me a chance and work with me. I won’t disappoint!

Story
Indigo is a 5-year-old mini Australian Shepherd. He has tons of energy. He loves to go on hikes and walks. His favorite activity is to play fetch (he'll do it all day!). Because of his energy level, he'll need to go to a home where he has plenty of opportunities to run or exercise. A home with a fenced yard is preferred, although if you have access to places for Indigo to be able to run, that is fine. He has severe anxiety, which he takes medication for. Some situations that trigger him are people coming and going, car rides, and walking on bridges (he's really weird about this one). A potential adopter would need to be patient with him to be able to assure him in these situations. Indigo has been in his current home since he was 1, but due to multiple factors, such as cross-country relocation, changes in work schedules, and his anxiety, his owners want to give him the best opportunity to go to a home that can give him what he needs.
