Penny is a wonderful dog! She is very active! We are rehoming her because she is not getting along with our cat. We fear our home is making her too anxious and is putting our cat at risk. Penny needs walked at least twice a day and does best with additional mental and physical exercise! Like most herding dogs, she wants a job! And in our house she has decided her job is to keep the cats in line and play fetch. Has never had an accident in the house. Very food motivated so very trainable. Good on leash, but leash reactive to some dogs. Does not really care for other dogs off leash, but not agressive. Shy and anxious, especially towards men. Takes several meetings before warming up to new people in her home. Great manners, does not jump up on people or lick faces. She doesn't really like being on the furniture unless you ask her to cuddle with you. She will cuddle for a bit, but then wants her space. Best to go to a home without kids over 6 since they would understand her boundaries.

Murphy came in with his brother Mack. Both are sweet, loving, mid- to high-energy boys. Murphy started out more independent than his brother and still probably is a bit, but he also seeks out attention from time to time and can be very affectionate. Murphy looks more like pure Aussie than his brother, but he may still be mixed. We'd love Murphy and Mack to be adopted together. They are bonded and thrive in each other's company and the company of other dogs. A physically fenced yard is required. Murphy is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio. If you are interested in adopting Murphy, please complete the online application here (copy and paste into your browser): https://hhdane.formstack.com/forms/lostpetrecoveryadoptionform

Mack came in with his brother Murphy. Both are sweet, loving, mid- to high-energy boys. Mack has been just about the sweetest boy ever from moment one—extremely affectionate and just loves giving you big Mack hugs. He loves when you let him be a Velcro dog, but don’t get the wrong idea—when you need your own space, he is very good about not being pushy about it. Mack’s brother Murphy looks more like pure Aussie, but we’re pretty sure that’s Mack’s mix as well. We'd love Mack and Murphy to be adopted together. They are bonded and thrive in each other's company and the company of other dogs. A physically fenced yard is required. Mack is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio.

Eevee is a 7 year old (DOB: 1/6/18) Aussie mix. She does mostly okay with cats, though she has had an instance of biting a cat over food. She does mostly okay with dogs, though she does not like dogs that get in her face or are too large. She prefers smaller dogs. We are currently trying to find her a new home because she deserves a home where she will get taken on walks and more time out of her cage (which will come with her). She will also come with whatever food we have left and a collar/leash and a food bowl. She is due for Rabies (lapsed in March 2025). She does NOT do well for nail trims, but with a couple of experienced professionals & a muzzle, it can be done. The veterinary professionals may recommend sedation as she is anxious at the vet, though.

ABOUT ME… Hi there! My name is Calvin and I’m your typical Aussie with a zest for life. I came to foster care after my previous owner decided I was too much to care for. I am a fast learner and am always eager to please! I have been working with a trainer through the rescue and am making progress on my confidence. I recently went to a board and train for a week and did so well that the nice ladies told me I was welcome back anytime! I AM GREAT WITH… other dogs. I LOVE my canine friends and would love to have to have another buddy to play with. I am completely house trained and sleep well in my crate at night. I also think with proper training, I would be a great running buddy. I AM STILL WORKING ON… I’m a bit guarded as I wasn’t really socialized as a young puppy. Once I’m comfortable, I warm up quickly to the people in my home and love my foster family. I do bark at strangers and am protectful of my home. I would do best with a quiet household and slow introductions to new people. I AM NOT GOOD WITH… cats. I like to try and herd them. I would also be best in a home with respectful children over age 12 due to my excitable nature as I’m still learning not to jump. I REQUIRE… A home with no cats No young children A large yard or farm so that I can run and get my energy out. I could really get used to the farm life because I always like having a job to do. A confident owner who has experience with herding dogs. A quiet household that doesn’t have a lot of coming and going. **All animals in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (age 1 & up), given preventatives, and provided with initial vaccinations AT MINIMUM. Booster shots are included in the adoption fee and will be performed at our clinic, or the adopter can use their own vet at their expense. Adopters must reside within 2 hours of Columbus, OH.
