My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rye is one of a litter of handsome Aussie and border collie mixes we recently rescued. They were living in a pen outside their entire lives and now are learning about warmth and affection and having fun!



Rye is about 8-9 months old and has tons of energy. He loves to play ball, chew on toys, and play chase. He would likely be quite a natural at agility or dog sports. He’s a smart boy and quickly learned “sit” and “come” and is about to conquer “down.”



Rye is amazing in his crate. He’s getting the hang of walking nicely on a leash and is doing well with potty training. He really likes to play with other dogs, but he’s concerned they’ll take his food. He’s working on dinner manners and is already starting to get better.



Rye would love a home with a physical, fenced yard. It would be great to have an active new human who has experience with smart and energetic herding dogs. He’ll be a great buddy for running, agility, or just playing ball in the backyard.



Handsome Rye is being fostered in the St. Louis area.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The first step in adoption will be to fill out an application. Once the application is approved, we will contact you. We may also request a home visit which will be done by one of our volunteers. Our goal is to not only find our pups a safe home but ensure it is a good match for the adopter and the pup.

Our adoption donation fee is $350.00. This includes the spay/neuter and the pup being current on vaccinations, heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchipped.
