My story

  &#239&#184&#143 Meet Mother Goose – A Gentle Soul Ready to Fly Free2 Years Old | ~50 lbs  Pure| Australian Shepherd  | Fostered in Nashville, TN   After giving everything she had to raise ten beautiful puppies, Mother Goose is finally ready for something she’s never truly had—a loving home just for her. Found as a pregnant stray, likely having escaped a life of hardship (possibly from an Amish breeding operation), this sweet girl has endured more than we’ll ever know… yet she greets the world with gentleness, grace, and quiet trust.   Mother Goose gave birth to her pups on March 17th under the loving care of our rescue, and she’s been nothing short of amazing. Calm, kind, and devoted, she watched over her babies with the wisdom of a soul who’s known struggle—but never gave up on love. Now that her puppies are growing and being adopted, it’s finally her turn to be the one cared for, cherished, and chosen.   She’s about 50 pounds, around 2 years old, and carries the striking, intelligent traits of an Australian Shepherd mix. Her temperament is a dream—gentle with other dogs, affectionate with people, and the kind of dog who brings peace and comfort just by being nearby. She hasn’t been tested with cats yet, but we’re happy to explore that for the right potential home.   We believe Mother Goose deserves the kind of life that matches the love she gives: quiet mornings in a safe home, walks with someone she trusts, and soft beds where she can rest her head without worry. Whether you're an experienced Aussie lover or simply someone who understands the beauty of a resilient, gentle dog, you’ll find something truly special in her.   Mother Goose is being fostered in Nashville, Tennessee, and is available to homes both in-state and across the Northeastern U.S. via our trusted weekend transport.   If you feel that pull in your heart, please email ccrtennessee@gmail.com to request an adoption form—and be sure to tell us where you're located.   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comJune 7, 2025, 12:30 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt MOTHER GOOSE, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
