My story

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

Courtesy Post. To apply for Orie please visit Northwest Rescue Collective, www.northwestrescuecollective.com

Meet Orie an adorable 4-year-old Mini Aussie — a bright, happy boy who’s ready to fill your life with fun, loyalty, and nonstop tail wags!

This confident little guy has a wonderful personality and a great foundation of training, making him an easy and joyful companion. He’s the kind of dog who loves being involved in whatever you’re doing — whether that’s going for walks, playing in the yard, learning new tricks, or curling up nearby when it’s time to relax.

• Leash trained and enjoys daily walks and adventures
• Crate trained and comfortable settling in for downtime
• Knows basic obedience and loves to learn more
• Confident, friendly, and social
• Playful, silly, and full of happy energy
• Energetic and active but knows how to relax and cuddle

This Mini Aussie is smart, affectionate, and full of life. He thrives on attention, engagement, and being part of a family. He would do great in an active home that enjoys playtime, walks, and bonding together — and he’ll reward you with endless love and devotion in return.

If you’re searching for a well-trained, fun-loving, and truly sweet companion, this handsome boy could be the perfect addition to your home.

All dogs listed for adoption are up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed or neutered - or will be when old enough. All of this is included in the adoption fee.

More about this rescue

About Northwest Working Breed Rescue

Northwest Working Breed Rescue is a foster-based rescue dedicated to helping working breed dogs in need. We focus on dogs who benefit from structure, engagement, and thoughtful placement — and we work hard to make sure each dog is set up for long-term success.

Our rescue was founded by people who combine a deep love for dogs with a practical, team-based approach. After years of fostering, transporting, and supporting rescue operations behind the scenes, we saw the need for a rescue that pairs compassion with strong systems, clear communication, and support for fosters and adopters alike.

We believe rescue should work well for everyone involved — the dogs, the fosters caring for them, and the families welcoming them home. Our process emphasizes appropriate medical care, behavioral support, and responsible matching, with multiple checkpoints to ensure each adoption is the right fit.

Every dog in our care lives in a foster home, where we can learn about their personality, needs, and strengths. This allows us to be transparent with adopters and create placements that last.

We do this work because every dog deserves a chance to be understood, supported, and loved — and because saving dogs is most effective when it’s done thoughtfully, collaboratively, and with intention.
