"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"Cal is a sweet, intelligent pup who is in need of a stable home. He is approximately 7 years old and came into my life 3 years ago as a foster. He is highly food-motivated, easy to train, and knows over a dozen fun tricks. He likes to cuddle, play fetch, and herd a ball. He walks well on leash, is house-trained and crate-trained, and is a great long-distance driving companion. He does not have a prey drive and does not have the high level of physical energy of most healers. He completed treated for heartworms in 2022 and had many of his teeth removed shortly after, as they were broken and badly worn. He had reactivity issues early on when I adopted him. This improved drastically with a combination of behaviorist training, addressing his medical issues (painful teeth, heartworms) and starting Fluoxetine, which he continues on. He has had regular vet visits, is current on vaccines and in good health. Cal is friendly with people, including children. He is selective about other dogs and can react to other dogs with aggression, so dog parks are not for him. Cal is loved by people who meet him and has great reviews from dog walkers and pet sitters. I hate to part with him, but I`ve had significant changes with my employment and living situation and Cal deserves more stability and attention than I alone can offer. I would love to talk with you, answer questions and find the right fit"
