Chelsea is gorgeous and curious. Maybe some Aussie Shepherd, maybe some Border Collie, Chelsea has a lush coat and some workin' dog skills. Jacob is so sweet and is just a baby at 5 months. He's coming into his own as a houndy-style dog. Give him a toy and he's good to go. We want to get Jacob a forever home, but he's also a great example of a dog that needs a foster (hint!) Double hint: January is Foster month at Friends of the An...
