Stormfly is a 4-month-old border, super affectionate, super sweet collie mix. Stormfly is deaf but that doesn’t keep her from loving life. She has lots of energy. Because Stormfly is easily startled due to her loss of hearing, she needs an owner who either does not have kids or has kids who are age 12 and up. The owner must be willing to train a puppy who cannot hear as it will be a lot of work. To meet Stormfly, email Hopeful Tails Animal at hopefultailsadoptions@outlook.com. Visit hopefultailsanimalrescue.org.

Atlas is a 4-month-old Australian shepherd and mountain cur mix. He has one blue and one brown eye. He walks well on a leash and has lots of love to give. To meet Atlas, email Hopeful Tails Animal at hopefultailsadoptions@outlook.com. Visit hopefultailsanimalrescue.org.
