1. Salem
Salem — A Stunning Girl with a Heart of Gold Salem is a sweet older puppy, just under a year old, who loves attention and is fabulous with other dogs! She does well in her crate and rides comfortably crated in the car. Food-motivated and ready to learn, she should be lots of fun to train.
Salem was found as a stray in Southern Indiana alongside Ash and Binx. The shelter believes they may be littermates who were abandoned by their previous owner. Her breed mix is a mystery—perhaps Cattle Dog, Border Collie, or Australian Shepherd—but that’s just our guess!
She’s brand new to rescue, and her foster family is still getting to know her.

4. Scout
Scout
Young • Friendly • Learning Fast
Scout is an approximately 6–7-month-old, tri-colored, smooth-coated male. He was purchased for $800 and later surrendered to a kill shelter by his owner. Despite this rough start, Scout is already showing how bright, social, resilient, and eager he is.
Personality & Temperament
Read more about Scout
Scout has a soft temperament, loves people, and warms up quickly. He is curious, affectionate, and clearly wants to bond. Around other dogs, he is still decompressing and making steady progress. He enjoys pretending they are sheep and may try to herd them, but daily daycare is helping him learn to play rather than simply herd. He has been indifferent toward cats.
Learning & Progress
Learned to sit in his first puppy class and is continuing puppy-class work
Started working on recall
Is learning to walk on a leash, which is new to him
Became comfortable enough to potty while on leash after settling in
Is doing well in his crate
Rides well in the car and is beginning to jump in on his own instead of needing to be lifted
Scout is the kind of dog who will take off once he feels secure—smart, willing, and ready to learn.
Ideal Home
Scout will thrive as an indoor dog who is part of the family, with:
A loving adopter who enjoys training
A home that gives him time to decompress and feel secure
Someone who appreciates a dog with a big heart and a fresh start
Opportunities to use his natural working instincts, such as life on a hobby farm or participation in herding activities
Scout is a resilient, affectionate boy who is ready to leave his past behind and step into a life where he is valued and understood.
He is currently being fostered in Plymouth, Indiana.

6. Poppy Seed
Poppy Seed (Poppy for short) is a 5 year old female BC mix with a rescuer in Columbia, IL, who was able to remove Poppy from a situation in which she was subject to mistreatment. The rescuer is seeking a forever home for Poppy where she will be loved, trained, and helped to recover from her early years.
Her rescuer describes her:
Poppy is an approximately 5 year old Border Collie. She came from a bad home [and needs a home that will] give her the time and attention she needs. Poppy is very sweet and snuggly, playful, can be independent, easy to please, and is very well behaved when home alone.
She learns pretty quickly and enjoys making you happy in her growth.
Read more about Poppy Seed
Her favorite toy is the jolly ball or herding ball. She loves to play "goalie." Sometimes she asks for "uppies," but doesn't like the process of being put back down. LOVES hugs if not okay with "uppies." Loves walks and is good on leash. Sometimes can get a bit excited of course, but doesn't pull badly when she is excited. She's been a treat to have around! Her only real issues are being fearful in the crate, and sometimes with her food. We have been working on this, and she's been doing well!
Poppy has not been around children or cats, and she will need to be tested for heartworm and put on monthly preventive.
If you want to know more about Poppy or set up a meeting with her, please contact her rescuer at samantha.cuebas5@gmail.com

8. Rocky
Introducing Rocky! Clever and Witty! If there were a canine university this quick-thinking pup would skip a few grades and graduate top of the class.
This handsome boy is the perfect mix of a perfect gentleman and an absolute goofball. When it comes to bath time, he is an absolute dream. But the second the water turns off and the high-velocity dryer turns on, his inner comedian takes the stage. He transforms into a hilarious air-snapping champion, trying to Catch every single gust of wind!
Read more about Rocky
Every dog Rocky meets is his new best friend. Cats are a different story. Rocky feels cats are basically furry, fast-moving toys built exclusively for a high-speed game of chase!
Excellent co-pilot. He rides incredibly well in the car, making him the perfect companion for road trips.
Playful spirit. Rocky is a happy and fun pup.
Worth the wait. While he takes a little time to warm up to new people, his trust is entirely worth earning. Once he knows you, you are in his inner circle for life.
Rocky would do best in a home that understands he needs just a little patience during the initial introductions.
If you are looking for a loyal, fun-loving dog who is always ready for a ride, he might just be your perfect match!
