Yesterday on Reddit, I came across somebody who posted a picture of a dog who was running lost that looked like the clone of my dog. Mine, who is not lost, is shown here sitting in my lap. Long story short, apparently the owners of this other dog decided to dump him. They left him in a park in the middle of the city not far from where they live. They live in an apartment and keep him out on a deck all the time, including at night. He’s a puppy. Apparently he barked a lot and barked at strangers and their apartment building neighbors complained. So they dumped him - Yesterday. I just figured out the exact shelter where he is and he’s not available for adoption yet because they’re giving some time to the owner. A neighbor of the family identified the dog on Reddit. I’m going to call the shelter in the morning to talk to them some more about it. The cautionary tale is, I wish that more people accepted the fact that these dogs are not always appropriate for every situation. They are very smart dogs and just because they’re cute or you think it would be fine or that it would make your life better, doesn’t mean that it’s going to make their life better. I feel so bad this dog is at a shelter right this minute and it could’ve been avoided. Say a prayer that I can help speed up the process and that this baby never has to live like this again.

She is only in the cage at night. Seems to be

her overnight happy place. During the day, she runs with the other 8 foster fails🐶

Smile if you see a big nose

She turns 9 weeks old today!

It's his very first birthday and he is in heaven with all the toys and treats!

Our Aussie is living with our in laws for a month. They have a female boxer a few years older. They’re besties and luckily have always gotten along. She’s so happy getting over fed and full attention. I love seeing her spoiled 😭

I have 2, 8 Year old cats and my Aussie is 1 Year old. She always is on fire when the cats are in the house, but the cats instead of fleeing, tease her nonstop. I think part of them enjoys the chase and afterwards they are always grabbed like that in the neck or my Aussie lays down on them on the couch with full weight and liks their head soaking wet. Its like shes some kind of shepherd.

His name is Jack, to remember the Jack Sparrow of the same name; he is months old and today is his first time at the beach.

We kept him on a leash for a moment in the shot because 2 other dogs were passing by and Jack still can't listen to warnings and orders.

Now he's off the leash but only with his bib on and he's started playing in the water with the ball again
