king walks and even swimming when given the chance...basically, anything that gives him the chance to be outside works for him! He is a Australian Cattle dog/Blue Heeler mix and, true to his breed, Mirage is a dog that needs to keep busy in order to be at his best. He is sweet and affectionate, but needs a good amount of exercise before settling in to rest. We’d love to see him have a fenced yard so he can get an adequate amount of outdoor time. He loves to play fetch, or run and play with soccer balls that are nearly as big as he is!! Mirage was picked up as a stray by a rural animal control. He sat in a crate at the facility for weeks before he was rescued and fully vetted for his trip to 11th Hour. Perhaps that’s why he’s not a fan of confinement and would do best in a home where his people are around most of the time. Mirage is now 5 1/2 years old and weighs in at 42 pounds - he's a compact little guy who's sort of low to the ground. And although he is quite the comic and totally adorable, he has never had a real home and would benefit greatly from an adopter with patience or an understanding of the breed. Mirage is great in the car, decent on leash and knows some basic commands, but hasn’t had much one on one training. He can be reactive around dogs so we think he may be best as the only dog in the house. Mirage is a favorite of our staff and volunteers alike, so if you have the time to give, and are in need of an awesome little buddy, please consider Mirage! Please fill out a Dog Adoption Application at .ehrdogs on this great boy today & be sure to ask for him by name - MIRAGE SCAS.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
