Story
We are seeking a new forever home for our sweet dog, Marley. She's an affectionate and obedient companion, knowing commands like "sit," "lay down," and "fetch." Marley is best as the only dog in the household and is not suitable for homes with infants or small children due to past incidents. Marley loves to cuddle, play ball, and will comfort you when you're feeling down. She enjoys snacks like carrots and watermelon and is a bit spoiled (in the best way!). She also has a strong hunting instinct, so any critters in the yard beware! If you’re looking for a loyal and intelligent companion, Marley may be the perfect fit for you! Please reach out if interested. Thank you for considering giving Marley a loving home!

Story
I acquired Denver from a breeder off of Facebook that is no longer breeding dogs. He is three years old and full of life and energy. He is a very loyal obedient Aussie. He can be territorial at times with other dogs entering his home but gets used to them after awhile. He is initially unsure about strangers but once he gets to know you he loves you. Very patient and good with kids. I unfortunately do not have the time that he needs and would like to give him to a loving/caring home.

Story
URGENT Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Willow Spring, NC *This dog doesn’t belong to ASF and hasn’t been evaluated by ASF.* Meet Bo! He is an 10 month old Australian Shepherd and weighs between 50-60 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots and on heartworm prevention. Bo is fearful of strangers and older children! He is good with cats and dogs! He hasn’t been tested around younger children. He is housebroken and crate-trained. Bo bit a person on the lip after they put their face in front of his. He is aggressive when people touch him, so he will require space. The owner is surrendering him because of his behavioral issues. They are also moving to a smaller home and are unable to provide the space that Bo needs. He needs to go by 2/21! If you think you can provide a great home for Bo, 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 Bo. Owner’s Contact Information: Isaiah isaiahjewwet@gmail.com

Story
Hello my name is Journey. I am an Australian Shepherd mix. I am a lovable companion and looking for a new home. Quick facts: * Male, neutered * 9 years old * 55 pounds * House trained * Good with owners, adults * Fully vaccinated * Healthy I have been a loyal dog to my owners since being rescued eight years ago in Raleigh, NC. At first, I was a great companion to my single owner. Then, when my owner became married, I enjoyed the new relationship. A few weeks ago, a new baby was born and now things are too busy here, so I am currently staying with my grandparents. I enjoy being a great companion. I can be rather independent too. You might find me sitting next to you on the sofa, or more often than not you may find that I am resting in a quiet place of the house for a long nap. I do like to go outside a couple times a day. I like to play once in a while by pulling on a rope toy. I don’t like loud noises - such as thunderstorms - or strange sounds. I am not comfortable around other dogs and cats. I answer to most commands and I come when called. I go by Journey, Jay, or J-Dog. I hope you will consider me as your future companion. Please contact michael.g.scheu@gmail.com

Theo is a 10 year old Australian Shepard mini we think. He is a protector. He loves to cuddle and go on walks. Apartment life was not for him. We are looking for a good home with a yard he can play around in. He is very cautious with strangers at first and will bark but once he gets to know you he is a cuddler. We are seeking an experienced dog owner.

Story
I got Muncy from the breeder about 3 years ago when he was just born. Since then, he has been my closest partner through thick and thin. He is high energy and loves to explore - from hiking to paddle boarding, Muncy is ready for it all. As expected with herding breeds, Muncy is very loyal and can be very protective of his owners. Fortunately/unfortunately I am preparing for the birth of my first child and will not be able to provide the care that Muncy needs during this next adventure of my life. Muncy is very smart and well trained to multiple commands. In his next home, I am hoping to find a good owner that will be able to give Muncy the attention he deserves and provide an opportunity for Muncy to run freely and play consistently.

Story
Sebastian is a handsome, young adult chow mix who is ready to find his forever home. Sebastian does great on a leash and will happily follow you on walks wherever you go. He rarely pulls (except for the occasional squirrel sighting) on the leash and just loves to sniff and explore his surroundings. Sebastian LOVES people, young and old. If he sees a person out in the neighborhood, he always wants to go over and say hello. If he really loves you, he gently stands on his hind legs and encircles your waist with his front legs in a sweet hug. He loves giving hugs! Sebastian is food and treat motivated. We are working on sit and come commands, and he is learning quickly. He is crate trained and easily loads up in his crate when asked. Sebastian is a sweet and regal gentleman. If you are ready to turn heads on your walks with this gorgeous boy, come and meet Sebastian today!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Adora is adorable! We are not exactly sure what her mix is. Mom somewhat resembles an Aussie mix. But it's also entirely possible there's some catahoula leopard dog in the mix as well. Whatever she is, she is 100% amazing. She has stunning blue eyes. We believe Adora is also deaf or partially deaf. This doesn't make her any less adoptable. She may also have some vision issues but she is not blind. We took her to an animal eye care vet and she confirmed that Adora can see. It's recommended that she go back at 4 months just to make sure there's no vision concerns.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 14, 2025, 11:49 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bixby is a wonderfully sweet boy.  He loves being an inside dog, he is for sure a lap dog.  He loves all people and all dogs, he seems to prefer female dogs his size or smaller, he was a little uncertain around his Newfoundland foster brother, who is enormous compared this compact boy, but is finding his confidence around him. Bixby is great with kids, however, due to his young age, any kids in the home should be at least 6 years old.   He will do best in a home with at least another canine companion, preferably a female to help burn off energy.  If his adopter is very active then he'd do very well in that environment without a canine companion.   Bixby has a lot of energy, so he will require a fenced yard, physical fencing attached to the home, no underground fencing, so he will be safe getting his energy out.  He loves playing fetch and rough housing with one of his foster sisters.  He settles excellently inside the home once all energy is used up.  Bixby has been neutered, microchipped and is update to date on all vaccines and preventatives.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 15, 2025, 1:10 pm
