A Note from the Foster: Hiiii! I’m Garner!! And I’m basically a fluffy Christmas snowflake sent straight from the North Pole!!!”
OH MY GOSH HELLO!!!! I’m Garner, the happiest, wiggliest mini-Aussie in the whole wide world! I wake up every morning like, “WOW!!! I HAVE LEGS FOR PRANCING AND A HEART FULL OF CHRISTMAS CHEER!!!”
I’m pretty sure Santa personally approved me because I have maximum joy and eyes that sparkle like twinkle lights over Buddy’s favorite spaghetti dinner.
Here are some VERY official facts about me:
I LOVE PEOPLE! I run to them like Buddy runs through the revolving door—fast, excited, and in circles.
I’m super smart. Mini Aussie brain = big elf energy. I learn new things FAST because treats are motivational (and delicious).
I herd things. Snowflakes? Toys? Your slippers? I must gather them. It’s who I am.
I LOVE TOYS. If it squeaks, crinkles, jingles, or even kind of looks like an elf—IT’S MY FAVORITE.
Food? YEP. If you drop spaghetti (with or without syrup), I will be there in 0.0004 seconds.
Zoomies. Don’t even get me started. I zoom like someone plugged me directly into the Christmas tree lights.
I’m also very good at snuggling. Like, ELITE. If you sit down with a blanket, I will magically appear, like Buddy popping out from behind Christmas decorations.
Together we can do SO MANY festive things, like:
Watch Elf and bark when the narwhal says “Bye Buddy, hope you find your dad!”
Go for snowy walks so I can prance like a tiny reindeer
Decorate the tree (I’m GREAT at supervising ornaments… and occasionally stealing them)
Sit by the fire while I practice my best “I’m a sweet angel baby” face
“The best way to spread Christmas cheer is adopting Garner right heeeere!”
If you want a mini Aussie who loves big, sparkles hard, and brings joy the way Buddy brings chaos, I’m your boy.
Adoption Fee: Our adoption fees typically vary from $510-$1260 + tax. Our coordinator will be in touch with you with specific information during the application processing. For more information on where our animals come from, here is some additional information. Thank you!
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
