My name is Squishy, and I’m a handsome Australian Shepherd pup that survived being born at a puppy mill. Thankfully, Speak! For The Unspoken had a foster family that could take me in and find me a furrever home. I’m a very smart pup and would thrive with continued obedience and training. I've been told I would be a wonderful agility dog candidate. I love to play a lot with my toys, foster siblings, and going on adventures with my foster family. Although I do not need another dog in the home, my foster family prefers a dog sibling because I love being with other dogs so much. I sleep in my kennel during the night with no poo accidents, and I only cry a little bit when I’m first put in, but I will grow out of it very quickly with time and continued training. If you would like a very fun, sweet, good with everything kind of pup, then I’m the companion you’ll be looking for! So please fill out an adoption application online at Speakfortheunspoken.com to meet me! Squishy will be UTD on vaccines and heartworm/flea & tick prevention,microchipped, and neutered. ***PLEASE READ*** WE DO NOT RESPOND TO PETFINDER OR EMAIL INQUIRIES.

Speak for the Unspoken's Adoption Policy

Before completing our online application please read the following: Our adoption process involves multiple steps and it typically takes up to 2 weeks from the time we receive your application to the time your adoption is finalized. We reserve the right to deny any application without explanation. All of our dogs and/or puppies are in foster homes. We do not schedule “Meet and Greets” without an approved application. Our Adoption Fees start at $325 per dog, $75 per cat or kitten. We can adopt an animal ‘out of state’, but you must be willing to travel to where the pet is being fostered, and transport the animal yourself after the adoption. If you have other animals (dogs/cats) in your home, they must be up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm testing and prevention (dogs), and spayed/neutered. We will verify this with your veterinarian. If your animals are not up to date, your application will be denied. Please make sure to fully complete your application; leaving questions blank or not including all requested information will delay your application. Once your online application is submitted, it can take our volunteers 5 to 7 business days to process it. If we have questions about your application, we will email you. Please make sure to add our email, adopt@speakfortheunspoken.com to your email so our messages do not end up in your spam folder! Once your application is approved by the processors, it is sent to the person fostering the dog you have applied for. They will make the decision on whether the animal that you applied for is the right fit for you and your home. They may also choose to initially contact you via email or phone. If you do not respond promptly to their email or phone call, they will move on to the next applicant. Your application will be saved on file for 1 year and will be used for all dogs you would be interested in that time-frame. No need to keep filling out applications! Adoption application approval means you are approved to adopt an animal from us, it does not mean you are necessarily approved for the animal you applied for. There may be specific circumstances in your home that do not make it a good fit for one animal, but it may be a fine fit for another.
