Kayla 417

100_5233100_5129100_5231Meet Kayla, an adorable 9 month old Aussie with a natural bobbed tail.

Kayla was found by someone in TN and after a couple of days in their care, her owners never came forward, and she found herself in the shelter.

Boing, Boing, Pop Goes The Weasel could describe this bouncy little energetic pup.  She is so happy and affectionate with a fun personality and she enjoys everone and every dog she meets.  Kayla is great with kids, is housetrained and crate trained, and walks reasonably well on leash - but often gets distracted by things around her.  “Places to go, people to see” is her motto.  Kayla is the result of a double merle breeding and has deficient hearing - but it’s hard to tell that sometimes because she is so people focused and likes to stick close.  A fenced yard is a requirement to adopt her - due to her inability to hear clearly someone calling her or passing traffic.

Kayla is fostered in Lawrenceville, Ga.  Interested parties may contact Rachael Eley at Catmndu@gmail.com.

Max ARPH 11062

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
