Tiny Baxter

Baxter is about 13 1/2 pounds and loves to play with dogs that are about his size, he needs a very patient and loving home as he came from my hoarding situation.

It will take him some time to bond with his new family, but he is well worth the effort. He is housebroken, crate trained, walks well on leash, and rides very nicely in the car. He knows sit and go kennel. He goes outside to go potty, because of his situation, he will need a fully fenced yard. 

 The others we have taken from the situation are doing well in their new home.

Please put in your application. He is located near Dayton Ohio. Please contact alicia.heidorn@gmail.com for more info.

Autumn Bloom

Autumn Bloom is a 5-6 month old black tri aussie mix (half tail). He's about 30lbs and is super friendly, playful and energetic. He loves to be pet, play with other dogs and cuddle. He makes a great addition to the family.

Autumn is good with cats and dogs. He loves to play with his siblings and other dogs. He is a medium energy pup but does settle down after getting some of his energy out. He does like to play with toys. He's medium velcro as he does want to be by humans but also goes off and plays. He sleeps in a crate with other siblings and hasn't had any potty accidents. Autumn does not have any known health issues and is a happy puppy. He eats all of his food and is at a good weight for his size. He has been super friendly to all humans including kids.

Autumn needs someone who can give him love, exercise and training. He is still working on basic obedience but is doing great for being a puppy. He stays with you when off leash and has good recall. Autumn does not have any aggression or resource guarding. He's a perfect loving puppy looking for the perfect forever home.

Autumn Bloom is fostered in Salem, WI

Maximo

Maximo (Max) is an Aussie/Husky mix and is 7 years old and 53 lbs. He's in excellent health and up to date on all his shots. Still needs to be fixed yet though which is scheduled for March 22. This guy is a dreamboat--very friendly, gentle and highly intelligent. He gets along well with other dogs and doesn't pay much attention to them. He's all about his person. As an outside dog, he was not trained. After one week he has great recall, is housebroken, can "sit" and walks well on the leash. He does pull a bit once you start the walk but settles quite quickly. He pays attention and often looks up at his person during the walk. He looks more like a husky than an Aussie, but his blue Merle coat is all Aussie. He's pretty chill and has a low prey drive. Has shown no interest in toys or fetching. I haven't hiked with him but as a foster I wouldn't let him off leash anyway. 

Max is striking looking and turns heads when we are out for walks. He is polite when he greets other dogs and then moves on for the walk. His recall is very good and as long as there is not a deer in my yard, he comes every time. He will make someone a great companion.

                                                            He will not be ready to take home until after his neuter surgery, but                                                              he is available to be seen beforehand (and before he gets the                                                                    cone of shame).

                                                            He's fostered in Prospect KY just outside Louisville.
