Meet Luna!
This affectionate girl is seeking her permanent roommate and forever best friend! We estimate she is around 1.5/2 years old. Luna has a very loving personality and seems to get along well with other dog pals (unknown with cats). She enjoys making friends with humans of all ages and absolutely loves going for strolls.
Luna does excellent on a leash and is fully crate trained. She does display some separation anxiety, as she has experienced a difficult journey before coming to rescue.
Despite her story, she welcomes all with an open heart. Her favorite things are belly rubs and car rides! She does well out of her crate with reasonable potty breaks offered.
Please note: Luna is completely deaf and her eyes are sensitive to direct sun, but she doesn't let the little things slow her down!
Please apply for this sweet girl today! ( we are looking for someone who experienced in deaf/aussie babies! )

Meet Athena 🐾
Athena is a quiet, gentle soul who is learning to trust after spending years as a stray. When she first entered foster care, she was frozen in fear — but in just one week, she began walking on a leash, going in and out on her own, and even doing happy zoomies in the yard. Her progress has been truly heartwarming.
