"Figgy is a very sweet boy. However a little insecure. He was a returned puppy to a breeder that was then too old to sell as a cute puppy. So he was living in the yard with his guard dog dad. He comes off a little aggressive but he is truly a sweetie. He wants to snuggle with his people. He will warm up to people quick if they rub his butt. He loves basking in the sun and running at the beach and playing in snow. He gets nervous around kids running and will charge at them. But he is good around cats, he sometimes chases our cats but they chase him too and they play together. He has also lived with chickens and left them alone. He is responsive and just wants to please you. He will also bring something of yours to snuggle with him. He doesn`t chew it or anything he just cuddles your dirty socks or a shoe. He has even taken one of our babies dirty onsies to cuddle. So sweet!
We are unfortunately rehoming him because we had a baby, I never thought I wanted kids then I thought I could handle the baby and the dogs. However, a traumatic birth left me with chronic pain and I can`t physically handle the dogs and the baby.
Fig has been with his brother Fern for 6 years however I think they would be happier apart. Fig would probably be better off as an only dog. He would be happy to be someone`s little buddy. He deserves more attention than I can give him currently."

“Callie is a sweet 5 year old blue heeler. She likes sun bathing out in the yard and can’t get enough scratches. She is definitely goes hard on her toys, her favorite being rope knots. She is a energetic and affectionate loving girl in need of a new home.
Callie is missing her last vertebrae leaving her both bowel and urine incontinence. She wears diapers indoors at all times and once a month gets a hygiene clip.
She has never shown aggressive behavior towards humans but is very particular about what dogs she is willing to tolerate and will do best as a only dog.”

"We adopted Fern around 7 years ago. His life before us is a mystery. He was found on the streets of Salem, OR. He is a very sweet dog. He is gentle with kids, cats, livestock and other dogs. He did some goat herding for us years ago! But he is leash reactive (he got attacked by other dogs while in the shelter) Fern loves to hike, and adventure but more than anything he loves to eat. It is his true passion. He will eat basically any vegetable you give him or that he finds in your garden. He doesn`t know he is big and will want to sit on laps and snuggles everyone!
We unfortunately need to rehome him because, a tale as old as time, we ended up having a baby. I did not think I would ever have kids when adopting Fern (or his brother Fig) then I thought I would be able to handle the dogs and the baby. However, I had a traumatic birth leading to chronic pain. I am physically unable to handle my baby and the dogs. We also had some other circumstances change making caring for the dogs even harder.
Fern and Fig have lived together for 6 years however I am unsure if they are truly happiest together. They get along but they have different play styles so they seem to tolerate each other more than enjoy each others company.
Fern has interacted with friends dogs and has liked every one of them. He just wants to play with everyone."

"Meet this adorable duo, Scarlett Jo and Angel! Scarlett Jo is about 9 years old, while Angel is about 5 years old. These Blue Heelers are the sweetest girls you will ever meet! Both of these girls are so incredibly loyal and ready for their forever family to come pick them up. They can be a bit skittish at first, but it doesn`t take them long to warm up for love and affection. The two of them find solace in each other and would prefer to go home together. Both do amazing with kids and love to play with them! They can both be a bit picky when it comes to other dogs but for the most part, they both do well! To ensure the perfect fit, we always require a meet and greet with any resident dogs. As for cats, Scarlett Jo and Angel do fine and tend to mind their own business. If Scarlett Jo and Angel sound like the perfect duo for your home, come by CASA to meet them!"

"Hello there, I`m Buddy! I`m a ball of energy, always ready for a game of fetch or a fun romp around the yard. My friends here say I`m friendly and sweet, and I think they`re right!

"Rosie is in need of a home with people who have lots of time on their hands to handle her high energy. She is on the go most of the day. She is a master puzzle solver. She will need a fenced yard with room to run. More than anything she wants to herd. She has a sweet disposition but is very busy. She has been exposed to cats however she likes to chase them and would love for them to let her herd them. She loves water, although she has not gone swimming. But the hose is her favorite. I think one day she would be great as a dock dog. She loves going for walks. Still working on the pulling of the leash. Loves playing with her tough toys. Loves to chew bones. She can be mouthy, but has never hurt anybody. She has had some private training as well as public with other dogs. She can sit, lay down, crawl. She is working on wait and stay. We love her dearly and letting her go is very difficult. We just know we are not the right people for her, as we cannot give her the time that she deserves for her high energy. Please consider giving this beautiful dog a home if you have the time and the patience for her personality."

"Sage would do well in a home with active adults and or older kids. She is obedient, fully house trained, loves to fetch, swim and is a great running/hiking/camping companion. She is focused on her person and would make a wonderful partner to someone wanting to skip the puppy phase. Sage bonds strongly and is shy at first with other people but warms up as she gets comfortable. Before her adventure with us she was an only dog, she plays well with our two dogs but ultimately she`d rather be with her person. She is intelligent, treat motivated and would pick up new skills quickly."
