Maizie is wonderful! She has made herself at home and I just love her. In the evening she'll come to me and start whining because she wants me to cuddle with her on the couch. What a love bug! Maizie's got a lot of energy and is keeping me on my toes which is a good thing. She loves being outside racing around (yard is fenced) and I think she has tried to catch every squirrel and chipmunk in the area. Thankfully she hasn't caught any.

She still goes out at night and early morning on the leash because we are working on a more consistent recall when she is focused on something other than me. It's going very well I think because she is very food motivated and very smart. The vet here thought she was very healthy but a little skinny so we're working on that. We have a follow up to recheck her weight in a few weeks. I am so thankful I was able to adopt her. Thank you so much for entrusting her to me, Chandler O'Gara / Barkhamsted CT

Mae is one of 5 Great Pyrenees mix (yes!) sisters from an unwanted litter in Memphis who all have now found their forever families.

“Mae is living the life! We have learned a lot about her. She loves: Naps, beaches, catching bugs, ice cubes; chewing mom’s shoes, her toys, and her bed. She hates: Baths, going back inside after playtime, vaccines, and taking her flea/tick medicine. We love her so much! Keara Doherty / Northport NY”

Hi Everyone! Luna is doing great! She’s been going to doggie day care two times a week for the past three weeks and they love her. She’s great with all the dogs all day. It’s amazing! We are working on the separation anxiety, and we’ve been giving her the edibles and her new medication clomipramine.

We went to Maine two weekends ago and she had a great time walking on the beach. She’s a bit leery of the water, but she loved all the sniffs, people, and other dogs. Attached are a some pictures! We are taking good care of Luna, don’t worry! We are loving her! Best to you, Paul and your children! Karen and Evan Golann / Sunderland MA

Scooby is doing absolutely wonderful still. I have been working like crazy on his training. It has been two weeks since he has gone to the bathroom in the house and so far I have taught him “sit”, “Lay down”, “crawl”, and “give me paw, and other paw.”

Some days he goes crazy and runs a hundred miles an hour through the house, so I just take him for another walk and then make sure the next day he has one longer walk then the day before. Otherwise, we try to socialize him as much as possible and he goes and gets his nails clipped at the groomer and we bought him some new chew toys and treats yesterday.

He is doing absolutely amazing and we all love him more than we ever knew we could!! Thank you again for everything. Scooby is the best thing we have ever decided on for our family. Casey Dileo / New Hartford Center CT

Suki is a small 1yo female Australian Cattle Dog who was rescued as a stray in Memphis. Friendly, well-socialized, happy temperament, never meets a stranger! Good with other dogs and enjoys playing with the other dogs at the dog park. Not recommended for cats because she likes to chase them. Fine with children and recommended for children 6 years and older. Suki has a high energy level outside but settles down quickly in the house. Good house manners. She enjoys running, hiking, spending time outdoors, going to the dog park, and meeting new people. Suki is very smart and food-motivated. Housebroken and crate trained. She barks when you put her in the kennel but settles down after you leave the room. She knows sit, stay, lay down, shake, quiet, gentle, and off… but she would benefit from further obedience training. Good on a leash, rides great in the car. Loves to be with her people. DOB estimated June 2024. Healthy and fully vetted, current on shots, spayed, weighs about 25 pounds. AWESOME young cattle dog will make a great companion (and jogging partner) for an active family who loves the breed. Cattle dogs need a significant amount of daily exercise and mental stimulation, including at least two hours of activity like running, hiking, or dog sports. Consistent, positive training is crucial to manage their intelligence, herding instincts, and stubbornness. ACDs really need a job in order to remain happy and healthy.
