Cowboy is a nine year old large blue merle male, Cowboy came to us from a shelter that took him in as an abuse and neglect case. Cowboy came to us in horrible condition, his coat matted and filthy, along with an untreated urinary infection, plus a case of heartworms. Cowboy is currently undergoing treatment for his heartworms and won’t be ready for a home till the end of July. Since starting his vet care Cowboy has transformed from a sick grouchy dog to a happy reborn dog, he is friendly, loving and enjoys other dogs and people.

Cowboy does need a home that will give him the exercise he needs, at nine he does not act like an old dog and one that understands Aussies. Cowboy is housebroken and responds to commands well, he does not like to be grabbed around the neck and will require a home with a gentle touch. Cowboy is located in Loganville GA and if you are interested in him please contact Tracy Daniel at tracyallyn.daniel@gmail.com

He does have a previous eye injury that does not impair his vision. Fred will require a home with Aussie experience and one that will help Fred to overcome some of his previous fears.

Max is a red merle Australian Shepherd with a natural bobtail. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and has completed heartworm treatment and is ready for his new home! He is a bigger boy at 60 pounds, and he is one handsome boy, sadly he did pay a price for his beauty, all that white on his coat cost him some of his eye sight and hearing. Max came to us after his owner moved away and could not take him with her.

Max is a 2 year old Aussie that was surrendered by his owner because they could no longer care for him. He is deaf and visually impaired though can see some shadows on his left side. He is totally blind in his right eye. He is what is referred to as a “lethal white”. Puppies born to two merle colored parents will result in 25% of the litter having hearing and/or sight deficiencies. Many of these animals have been rescue and go on to make wonderful pets. They are trained in sign and touch signals. If you would like to learn more about owning a special needs dog please visit www.deafdogs.org for more information.

Max will need a fenced in yard and someone that is willing to devote time to train him. He has learned a few touch signals like sit and down. Max is a fast learner and will need a special, loving home that is willing to provide the extra care he needs. Max is gentle and loving, he enjoys lots of attention, and loves to run and play, he has lots of energy and would love an active home of his own. He is crate trained. Max is one happy guy and just likes to have some fun. He is fine with other dogs also and enjoys playing with them. Max is fine with everyone he meets and like many special needs Aussies Max has no clue that he is considered special needs! He is an easy going and loving dog that has a lot to offer any family.

Max is located in the Statesboro GA area and if you are interested in adoption, please email Tracy Daniel at tracyallyn.daniel@gmail.com
