Hi… my name is Marie,

Adopted 2-18-17

In my previous story, I told how my brother and I came here together, and now here’s the update: He’s been adopted—yahoo!—and I’m having my own exciting adventures. A volunteer invited me on a home visit and discovered lots of special things about me: I was great with her older, bigger dogs, (she actually said I was “perfect!”), seemed to want to potty outside when given the chance, was wonderful to bathe, and even appeared to know how to swim! Exploring her yard was so much fun—my little tail was wagging happy the whole time! I’m just over 2 months old, an adorable Aussie mix female with a merle coat in brown, tan and white, and if you give me a home full of love, I’ll love you right back forever!

Hi… my name is Sarge,

Adopted February 26, 2016

I’m so hoping someone out there will give me a second chance. I’m a 3½ year-old classic purebred Blue Heeler, and people tell me my beautiful coat makes me an especially handsome fellow. My favorite time to hear that is when the person saying it is nearby so I can bask in their company and enjoy a really good one-on-one petting. When it comes right down to it, I just adore being someone’s companion because that’s really my job in life. Like lots of Heelers, I’m smart, energetic and would love a “job” to do to keep me on the straight and narrow. If you believe in second chances, I hope you’ll give one to me. If you do, I promise to do my very best to make you glad that you’re my person.

Hi… my name is Finley.

Adopted September 24, 2015

Finley has earned/received his American Kennel Club (AKC)  Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification.

“Too many pets, too little time.” That’s what my people said when they finally had to relinquish me after a year. Although they said I was a wonderful guy who is very affectionate and loves attention, with four kids ranging from 14 down to 1 year, and two other dogs, there just wasn’t enough time in the day for a big (60 pound) fellow like me. And at only a year old, I still need a bit more coaching in the obedience department to keep my mind sharp, so its time for me to move on to a more “me-centered” place! I’m striking 1-year-old Aussie/Great Dane mix with unique harlequin and merle coloring, and since I’m kinda nervous during thunderstorms, I’d sure love to have a family (without cats!) to comfort me right now!

Adopted April 8, 2015.

TRIP is a smart, sweet, and energetic 50 pound purebred Australian Shepherd

who needs a new home because people who have owned him for almost 8 years

since a puppy have to be away long hours and don’t have much time for him

during the week. They would like to give Trip the opportunity to be in a home

where he can have more attention. He is obedience trained – knows sit, stay,

drop it, leave it, roll over, Trip’s bed, and come here now. He is leash trained

and looks forward to his two daily walks of almost an hour each and needs

exercise and play time to keep him content. He loves to retrieve his soft frisbee

and ball. Owners believe he would be best as an only dog and would

recommend kids over the age of 10. Trip does not like a crate and does not

get on furniture; he sleeps on floor in owner’s bedroom. He has beautiful

blue eyes and his handsome blue merle coat is soft, thick and shiny. He

is neutered and is up to date with his shots (medical records are available).

There is no adoption fee. If you will welcome Trip into a loving home as part

of your family, please call Penny between 5 and 8 AM or 4:30 to 8:30 PM at

978-621-2677.

Adopted offsite October 2, 2014.

LYLA is a smart, energetic, eager-to-please 7-month-old Heeler/Mini-Australian Shepherd mix.  She is a sweet, people-oriented dog who was rescued about 4 months ago by a family who already had 3 dogs and 2 kids. She has an easy-care merle, black and tan coat, and her tail was docked by original owner. Lyla is a wonderful companion, but needs a new home since she is too energetic for her big dog friend who has recently become disabled. So although she is totally housebroken and crate trained, she has to remain in her outside pen most of the time. Lyla quickly learns new things but is happy to have frequent reinforcement. She knows shake, sit, down, wait, and will twirl around on command. She loves to play fetch and to carry sticks on her twice-a-day walks. She does not care for a choke collar and but does well with a harness.  She loves children, being in the rain, and is an excellent car traveler. Cats are unknown. Lyla is healthy, has been spayed, and is up to date on her shots. There is no adoption fee.

If you will welcome Lyla into a loving home as part of your family, please call Ellie between 8 AM and 8 PM at 520-396-4243.

Hi… my name is Sadie.

Adopted November 29, 2014.

If you’re looking for a gal with an active mind, tons of energy (think of a hiking, walking, running partner!), and intelligence, well her name would be “Sadie”! I’m a striking, 35-pound Australian blue heeler who is a real “looker” with my one blue and one brown eye. I’ve had some professional obedience training (I know wait, sit, leave it, out, down and more!), and am perfectly housebroken, leash- and crate-trained. I’m still a high energy “puppy” though (at almost 18 months), so I’d probably be a wonderful candidate for agility training (keeps the old mind and body “occupied”!) in addition to providing lots of “together” time. So if you’re an experienced, “dog person” who can provide the leadership I need to help me realize my full potential, we should definitely meet!

Arrived July 28, 2014.
