Story
Meet Annie 💗🐾Annie is a sweet, gentle 10.5-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who is hoping for a loving family to call her own.Annie's world was turned upside down when her owner suddenly passed away. Along with her housemates, she found herself in an unfamiliar situation, facing a life she never expected. At her age, she deserves a soft place to land, a little extra kindness, and someone who will show her that life still has wonderful things in store.Annie is a kind-hearted girl who isn't asking for much. She doesn't need the world handed to her - just a family to love her, a comfortable place to rest, and the chance to feel safe and cherished again. ❤️Like many Australian Shepherds, Annie has a thick, beautiful coat that will require regular, consistent grooming to keep it healthy, comfortable, and free of mats. Her future family should be prepared to make coat care an important part of her ongoing care and well-being.Annie has already experienced a heartbreaking change in her life. Now, she deserves the chance to spend her golden years surrounded by people who will be gentle with her, patient with her, and committed to loving her for who she is.Annie isn't asking for much - just a family who will give her a chance, a home where she can feel safe, and someone who will remind her every day that she matters. Could you be the soft landing this sweet girl deserves? 🏡💕 Primary Color: Red - White Weight: 62.3125 Age: 10yrs 4mths 1wks

Story
Meet Ava! This sweet little baby land shark came to us from Browning and boy is she a cutie!! Ava is super playful and curious. She is up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. She is too young yet to be altered so she will go into their new homes as a foster-to-adopt. This is a requirement under the laws of the state of Montana which also includes a monetary $150 deposit (refundable) to be made at the time of adoption as the adopters guarantee that the pet will be altered by 6 months of age - proof of alter from the vet of your choice is required for refund. Adoption fee is $300 (total fees due at date of contract signature is $450). If interested in one of this pup, please head over to our website pet-tracs.com and click on Adoption Application. Once filled in and the submit button clicked, our team will review and reach out with next steps, thank you!

Story
Darling Brianna (Brie) came to us from Anaconda Animal Control with a group of schnauzers. She was shy and scared at first, but she has made wonderful progress during her time with her foster family. Shortly after arriving to her foster home, she delivered two adorable pups and has been an amazing mother.Brie loves sticking close to her safe people, playing with her puppies, going on walks, and mostly snuggling. Although she has spent a lot of time around kids and has never been aggressive, she seems to feel more secure around adults.She is house and crate trained, and she will need a quiet, safe spot that is just hers while she transitions into a new home. Please note that she is currently wearing a cone after having a minor lesion successfully removed near her ear, but she is healing quickly and won't need it for long. If you have a warm spot in your heart, your home, and your lap for this amazing dog, please consider giving Brie her forever home. Brie is spayed, up to date on vaccines and will come with a microchip. Adoption fee is $350. If interested in Brie, please fill out our adoption application found on our website. Our team will reach out with next steps once reviewed, thank you!
