Introducing "Little Girl" (AKA LG or Ellie) a Border Collie/Australian Shepard mix (approximately 1 1/2 year-old) and weighing 51 lbs that came to PAWS Rescue, Inc. from a working ranch. This lovely lady had a litter, got her shots, and was spayed before going into a foster home to get accustomed to a more relaxing lifestyle away from the ranch. Her ranch caretakers trained her in both English and Spanish, which highlights just what a smartie she is. Her foster parents have been calling her "Ellie", and getting her exposed to the sights, sounds, and fun of their neighborhood.
Ellie is an easy going part of the family. She is light on her feet, eats and drink delicately, takes snacks oh so gently. Inside the house, she is generally submissive, rolling onto her back and thumping her tail to get you to pet her and show her some love. She is happy lounging on her bed, taking walks, and playing with the other "big" dogs in the house.
She is fully house-trained and sleeps through the night. Ellie enjoys her food, sometimes eating 2-3 breakfasts, so she can get all her nutrients and some extra calories to put on needed weight. She also really wants to join in the feeding of her canine companions (she really wants to be doing whatever they're doing). She is new to toys and finds fun herding and running circles around the other dogs, as if they were cattle in her new yard!
On her daily walks, she loves to meet and greet others, and can get quite distracted and insistent on watching, as people and pets go by. If other dogs are playing in a park, she will stare intently as if to suggest they need her supervision. She can occasionally be timid when meeting others, but mostly wants to get in on scratches, pets, treats, and sniffing. The school bus seemed to startle her the first few times it passed when we were out. And her first snowman sighting left her bewildered, confused, and a bit annoyed that it didn't move or budge.
She is sweet, supremely so. Her eyes will melt you like butter, and her expressions are priceless. This little girl will be a great addition to any home. She would do well as an only pet, or with other canines. She will do well with people around most of the time, but is okay by herself too. We don't know about cats. She has limited experience with kids, but the few she has met she has liked, especially since they seem to be at her level and kind in giving her good head and chin scratches.

Since our formation in early 2013, we have helped save thousands of cats and dogs throughout Idaho from neglect, abuse, and death. Many of our rescues come from the Burley Idaho Animal Shelter where PAWS has transformed what was once a high kill facility to a shelter where every adoptable animal gets a second chance! PAWS also takes in stray pets from all over Idaho including Twin Falls, Boise, Nampa, and Caldwell. We work our very hardest to respond to every call for help!
PAWS Rescue, Inc. saves all breeds of cats and dogs of all ages as well as animals who have been hit by cars, shot, abandoned, abused, and neglected.
Rescued animals are placed in loving foster homes or transferred to other no kill partner facilities giving them a chance to find the perfect forever home. Our efforts give these deserving animals a second chance at a happy life.
Every animal receives veterinary evaluation and care, including spay/neuter and vaccines, as well as treatment for any other medical issue they may have. No animal is ever euthanized due to expense.
