Story
It is time for Pongo to find a family to call his own - this boy is simply amazing and don't let him being deaf hold you back - I always say that deaf dogs are some of the smartest dogs and he is indeed a very smart boy. Pongo came to us in September with a fractured leg that required a specialist to repair and now you would never know anything every happened to him - of course Dr. Crouch and his staff did an amazing job - Pongo was not to happy about the strict crate rest for 8 weeks - but we managed and then it was time to neuter him and he did great for that as well. Pongo is 8 months old and weighs 40 pounds - we do not believe he will get much bigger - he is an Aussie Mix with those ice blue eyes and again he is deaf. We would prefer a fenced in yard for him as he loves to run his zoomies outside. Pongo does great with other dogs and is currently not fostered with cats - while he was recovering from his orthopedic surgery he was fostered with cats but because he was not allowed to roam freely due to healing , he never had many interactions with them - he acted curious about them but never showed any signs of aggression - this boy loves to play ball and actually loves all his toys - he is still a puppy and does have a lot of energy. His one quirk - if you want to call it that - is he can't be kenneled in a wire crate - he will chew his way out - an airline crate or impact crate is needed as we do recommend crating him if you work or leave the house for a bit as he is a puppy and will look for something to get into - he whines a little when first crated but quits quickly as he realizes he has toys in there. He is a HUGE people dog and loves every single person he meets. He is a curious boy which is not uncommon for deaf dogs - he does great on a leash and is house trained and crate trained. Pongo is current on his core vaccines, has had a full bloodwork panel done, current on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention , dewormed, neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $250.00 As a reminder all of our dogs are in private foster homes throughout Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina - we do not have a facility and we do not board our dogs - the first step in our adoption process is filling out our adoption application which can be found on our website www.boxerbuttsandothermutts.org - once the application is received and reviewed (if there are other animals in the home we do vet references and require all animals in the home to be spayed/neutered - unless there is a medical reason they can't be - up to date on vaccines and current on monthly heartworm prevention ) and then the foster will get in touch with the potential adopter - if both parties feel like it could be a good fit - we would set up a meet and greet - we never do adoptions on the spot - we do a 7-14 day trial run before finalizing any adoption to make sure it is the right fit for the dog and the family Let's find this amazing boy the perfect forever home - he is so deserving and is going to bring a lot of smiles and happiness to some very lucky family

Story
Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Waynesville, NC *This dog doesn’t belong to ASF and hasn’t been evaluated by ASF.* Meet Oliver Hamish! He is an 5 year old Australian Shepherd and weighs 55 lbs. He is neutered, up to date on shots, and on heartworm prevention. Oliver Hamish is good with older children! No younger children, because they make him nervous. He is good with the other dogs inside of the home, but is nervous around dogs outside of the home. He has bitten 3 times when someone was around his food. He has food aggression. The owner is surrendering him because of the bite incidents. They are also unable to provide the time and attention that he needs. He needs to go ASAP! If you think you can provide a great home for Oliver Hamish, 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 Oliver Hamish.

She's spayed and weighs around 50 pounds. We believe she is a chocolate lab/Australian shepherd mix. She does well with cats as long as they don't chase her. She is housebroken. She's a very sweet dog but she is very rambunctious and needs a lot of room to run. If you are interested in adopting Penny please email angelicawhisenant@gmail.com

Here’s another pup for the small dog lovers! ♥️🐾Meet Texie! This gorgeous, spunky girl is an Aussie Chihuahua mix and while we’re not totally sure what else is in there, we do know she’s incredibly sweet!Texie can be a little shy at first, but once she’s comfortable, her personality shines through in the best way. She’s great with other dogs and loves having canine friends to hang out with. And when she bonds with you? She becomes VERY Velcro always wanting to be close, right by your side soaking up all the love.She’ll keep you entertained with her goofy antics rolling in the grass, full-speed zoomies, and chasing every bug she can find. Her favorite hobby, though, might just be making every treat within reach disappear in record time!😂Because she can be a bit timid at first, Texie would do best in a calmer home with older kids, or younger kids who understand she needs a little time, quiet and space to warm up and show her true personality! Texie is around 4 months old and weighs 13 pounds, so she’ll stay on the smaller side perfect for someone looking for a petite, loyal companion.It can be a little hard to tell from photos, but Texie has sectoral heterochromia in one of her eyes, meaning she has a unique mix of colors within the same eye. This is not an injury just a natural and beautiful variation in her eye color! We’ve had a few questions about it, so we wanted to share for clarity 😊Come meet this sweet, silly girl you might just find your new best friend! 💕🐶Come by or give us a call!Puppies 6 months and under are typically $200 and dogs from 7 months to 6 years are typically $100.00.
