Apply here if you think he is the right match for your home. NS 1023
This handsome young guy spent the first year of his life on a chain by a pond in TN, so he is ready to start a new life as an indoor pet! His mom came into the program, too, and has already been adopted up in NY. This family group has lovely temperaments: calm, affectionate, just nice, nice dogs.
His foster dad is really enjoying him, and appreciates how quick he is to learn. The routine in the house took him only a few days to pick up on, and he is housebroken already. He sleeps by the bed of his foster dad all through the night, and was delighted to find that foster dad would welcome him up on the couch for some tv time! You could just see him thinking: Wow--this indoor thing is okay!
He crates well when needed, and rides beautifully in the car. He's been going to work with his foster Dad every day and loves all the children he meets and is very calm and loving even if they're loud and a little crazy. Jobe is so salm and accepting of everyone--he could make a great therapy dog.
Winston PENDING
Meet Winston a very special boy! He’s approx 16 months old and 30lbs. Winston is sweet, loving and gentle! He would make anyone a great pet.
We have recently spent hundreds of dollars having Winston tested for skin issues. He’s been diagnosed with Dermatomyositis, a condition where he breaks out in little lesions on his pressure points, ears, face and feet (it waxes and wanes).
We have started him on the proper medication
and are confident this will help him immensely.
The medication is inexpensive and can be
purchased on line with a prescription! This
condition can also affect the muscles but not in
Winston’s case (not all cases do). He is a happy
boy who does not even notice he has a condition.
He will love you with all his heart. He just needs
a special person who can see beyond this and
love him unconditionally!

Olive
This cute little girl is Olive, sister to Boyce, Penn and Aggie. She is 11 months old and about 40lbs if that. Olive is a scared little girl. She's never been away from home and all the new things frighten her. She needs a home that is patient and will help her over come her fears. Once she gets to know you (it does take a little while) she then trusts ou. Olive is good in the crate and good with other dogs and cats. She does drool in the car but once she's acclimated that
should work it's self out. If you have an abundance of
love and patience, Olive will make you a wonderful
companion, she may not be a social butterfly, but will love
her person forever!

Peter
Peter is a 2 year old blue merle Aussie. He was recently surrendered by his former owner and is learning how wonderful it can be to be surrounded by warmth and love! He prefers to be near a person at all times. Surprisingly he does extremely well at not getting underfoot, although he follows us around faithfully.
Peter is crated at night for bedtime and does very well in the crate. He is quiet all the time: no barking or whining and no snoring (unlike a certain black lab he lives with). He has quickly picked up on basic commands such as sit and come. Peter absolutely loves praise and treats, but is smart enough to not be fooled by healthy treats like broccoli! He is learning to love long walks on a leash. This guy hasn’t figured out that toys and bones can be fun yet, showing no inclination to chew on things. He has no interest in the other dogs at all, and simply lets them check him out every now and then with a sniff. Peter is also fine with cats.
He is a super sweet and very mellow dog that will make anyone fall in love with him very quickly.
Peter is fostered in Norcross, GA. Apply here for him. NS 1276
Amelia
Amelia was rescued with several other dogs from rural property in Ga. She has spent most of her life outdoors, but is very well behaved in the house in her foster home. Amelia's former home was underneath a camper top tied to a tree.
Amelia is an Aussie mix, probably with Beagle. She is shorter coated and smaller in stature than an Aussie. Amelia can be a bit unsure of meeting new people but bonds easily to someone that is soft and sweet with her. Amelia appears to be housetrained, rides well in the car and is crate trained. She is learning about walking on leash and is very loving.
Amelia is compatible with other dogs and cats and will require a caring and loving owner to help her to trust fully again. We recommend an adult only home and someone with experience working with shy dogs for Amelia. Amelia has tested positive for heartworms and will be available when she has completed her treatment.
Amelia is fostered in Kennesaw, GA. Apply here to meet her. NS 1274
Barbie
Barbie is a 1 year old blue merle Aussie mix and is up to date on veterinary care and spayed. Barbie and her sisters have never lived inside a home, been on leash...all they know is the inside of the pen they once lived in. But that was in the past, this is their future.
Despite Barbie's lack of socialization, she is a sweetheart. She rode like a champ in the car, loves to give kisses and is wonderful with other dogs - on the submissive side and very respectful. Barbie tested well with cats briefly; however is not currently fostered with them.
Barbie is probably one of the most socialized girls in the group and will pick up on things very quickly.
Barbie is fostered in Atlanta, GA. Apply here for her. NS 1272

Nadia
Nadia is a gorgeous Aussie with a docked tail covered in Freckles. This little cutie found herself in animal control because her former owners failed to keep her properly contained. Nadia, being an intelligent Aussie is somewhat headstrong and her foster family is really working at increasing her focus on people and redirecting her energy to positive areas.
Nadia is doing well with the cats in her foster home, and generally the dogs as well; however she can be a bit of a bully and might require a home as an only dog. Nadia is very active and intelligent and coming along nicely with an Aussie experienced foster home.
Nadia will require a home focused on training and a strong leader in her new pet parent.
Nadia is fostered in Lawrenceville, GA
Apply here for her. NS 1277
Monika
Monika and several other Aussies found themselves in the shelter when their owner passed away. She is a 3 year old smaller Aussie female with a docked tail. Monika has obviously given birth several times in the past, so her coat is a bit moth eaten. She does have a closer working style coat, but is all Aussie in demeanor and personality.
Monika is a shy, quiet and retiring kind of cutie. She loves to be in your lap and give kisses. Monika does very well with other dogs and ignores cats. She's not quite sure what the leash thing is, but is learning quickly. She loves to ride passenger and likes to snuggle. She has gorgeous coloring and two beautiful blue eyes.
Monika is fostered in Smyrna, GA

Payton
Payton is a sweet 2 year old red bi Aussie with a docked tail. She was brought into the shelter as a stray with her puppies who sadly passed away in the shelter.

She is extremely affectionate and has an adorable flirty attitude. Payton walks well on leash and rides nicely in the car. She is compatible with both dogs and cats and is a nice all around Aussie.

Delta is a black tri female, spayed, micro chipped, up to date, and heartworm negative. She is 41 lbs and 1.5 yrs old. She was pulled from the shelter and seems like a really sweet little girl.

Paula
Paula was rescued with several other Aussies from a private property in North GA. Paula ignores cats and is generally good with other dogs; however becomes overwhelmed in situations where there are a lot of dogs.
Paula is an active young Aussie mixed with Border Collie. The first that strikes anyone about Paula is how beautiful she is. She really is stunning in person and turns heads with her red coat and yellow eyes.
Paula will bond very deeply with one person in a home. And it will likely be the female member of a household. Paula and her sisters are quite frightened of men for reasons we cannot figure out. However, Paula is non aggressive with them, just frightened. She will give a woman in her life 100% of her dedication and loyalty.
Paula is fostered in Powder Springs, GA. Apply here to meet her. NS 1278
Paula missed out on a great deal of socialization in her young life. She has never been introduced to a leash, living inside or appropriate manners where people are concerned. With some time in foster care, Paula now walks wonderfully on leash and rides like a champ in the car. She is completely housetrained and crate trained.
Betty
Betty is a 16 lb, two year old Red Tri Mini Aussie. She and her brother were found abandon, starving and wandering the streets. Betty is a timid and submissive dog who shows apprehension with strangers, but will warm up to you with slightest hint of kindness. She is very affectionate and loves sleeping with her foster parents but will look for approval before hopping up on the bed. Betty is good on a leash, rides nicely in the car and loves going to the dog park! Playing with toys is a new experience for her so she’s had some issues with stealing and chewing socks. She has not been tested with cats but seems to love all creatures great and small. If you love every thing about Aussies but would like a smaller version, this little girl would be a great addition to your family!
Betty is fostered in Dunedin, FL. Apply here to meet her. NS 0777
