Story
Pongo is being fostered in Ringwood IL Meet Pongo!  He is a black tri with a tail, Australian Shepherd Border Collie mix.  His momma was in rescue with her litter of pups and is a 35lb. black tri Aussie.  Daddy was a Border Collie that was 40-45lbs.  Pongo's date of birth is 2/11/2025 so at 11 months old, he is still learning about the world and would LOVE a positive other doggie role model in his forever home and a mom or dad that would be willing to keep socializing him with new things.  Pongo doesn't immediately trust everyone he meets and is a bit on the cautious side because he lacked this socialization as a youngster, while he greets well, his trust is earned quickly through food and toys.  Once he feels safe, he is a great boy! Pongo has more Border Collie traits than Aussie trait in his behavior and demeanor.   Pongo is sweet as pie, curious, loves snuggles and is super smart!  He loves to love and he loves to learn.  He already knows, sit, down, go in (for his crate) come, wait, he waits at the door to be released with an OK, he is just a quick learner and so eager to please his human. Pongo is a sweet and sensitive boy that will need a forever home that is patient, will use all positive reinforcement with him, be breed savvy and be a calm leader for him.  Once given the time to trust, he is a great boy!  If you have never had an Australian Shepherd or a Border Collie, we highly recommend doing some research before thinking this breed is for you.  While they are absolutely adorable, they will need to work and have jobs or they can become destructive when bored and display some undesirable behaviors. Pongo  is going to need a home that will continue his socialization with the world around him.  Without proper positive continued socialization Aussies can become guard dogs and a little insecure (Border Collies) about the world around them.  We recommend continued positive socialization throughout their entire lives!  Pongo is being fostered with other dogs, loves to run, play and chase.  He just started learning fetch with a ball and a frisbee and picked it up in NO time.  He LOVES to play fetch and frisbee!!!!  He is both food and toy motivated, eager to please and just a total goofball. Pongo and his exuberance need older children in the home; we recommend children over 14.  Pongo is potty trained and crate trained, a little overexcited on leash at the beginning of the walk, but settles in nicely once you get going.  He LOVES to sniff on walks!!!!! He is also a little mouthy because he is still so young, but we are working on that in foster care.  He rides very well in the car.  He would LOVE a fenced yard to run and play in, but as long as he has an outlet for his energy like classes, running, etc, he would be ok without a fence, but DAILY mental and physical exercise is a MUST for this youngster! He will need a MINIMUM of 2-3 hours of exercise throughout the day.  He is currently enrolled in tricks class at WAG: WI- IL Agility Group in Spring Grove IL to work on some puppy impulse control and self confidence.  Pongo is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, is microchipped, negative for all tick borne diseases, dewormed and on monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworm.  Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.  For more information on our adoption process, please visit our website at www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org. NOTE:  All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers so we need an approved application on file to set up a meet with a dog you might have an interest in.  Please visit our website for more information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application.  We pride ourselves on matches that work for both the dog and your family.  MASR is here for your support, advice and safety net for our dogs for the remainder of their lives.  www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org ##2308420##

He’s still a puppy with so much ahead of him — ready to learn, bond, and grow alongside a family of his own.

AVAILABLE SOON! I haven’t arrived at the adoption center just yet - I’m getting ready for adoption! Please fill out an adoption application if you’d like to meet me once I’m available. I'm 61 lbs., and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $450 Meet Tinky! This handsome Border Collie/Lab mix is on the lookout for his forever home—and he’s ready to impress. Tinky is a super smart boy who already knows “sit,” “paw,” and “stay,” and he’s proudly earned his AKC Trick Dog Novice title. Brains and manners? Yes, please! He’s also passed the AKC Home Manners program, proving he’s the total package. Tinky came to Animal House Shelter after being surrendered from a shelter in Southern Illinois, and now he’s hoping for a fresh start with a loving family. He’d love a home where he can show off his skills, soak up affection, and return that love tenfold. Think Tinky might be the missing piece in your family?

Story
Wynter (DOB 12/7/24) is just as beautiful and gentle as her name suggests — sweet, playful, and friendly with everyone she meets. She’s the kind of pup who’s always up for a game of fetch in the yard or a cozy snuggle on the couch. 💙 She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would love a playful canine companion to share her adventures with! Because Wynter can be a little sensitive to noise and commotion, she’s looking for a calmer home with kids 12+ and a secure fenced yard where she can run, explore, and feel safe while being her playful self. Wynter isn’t just another rescue dog — she’s truly something special. With her gentle spirit and big heart, she’s patiently waiting for the family who will love her forever. 🐾 ✨ If you’re searching for a loyal, kind, and fun-loving best friend… Wynter might be your perfect match. 💙 Could Wynter be the missing piece of your family? Fill out an application on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ Wynter was born at our rescue and has only known a life where she is safe, cared for, and loved. However, this girl has never known the comforts of a home! We would love to see Wynter find a foster home, to help her transition into her happily ever after! (And if that foster turns into forever we’d love that for her too!). If you’ve ever thought about fostering, please reach out to our rescue! Wynter has committed to bring endless cuddles, and laughter, can you provide the love? We’ll take care of the rest!

Basic Information Other Female 2 years old 40 lbs. Brown eyes Black-White-White fur coat Important Notes About Morticia Possibly good with dogs and cats Good with kids over 10 years old High energy level Special Training If adopted, Morticia will come with a six session training package to successfully transition to home life. More Info Hello, my name is Morticia, and I am a young mixed breed looking for a new best friend! I am believed to be part cattle dog because of my medium size and exuberant personality. I was surrendered because I tried to herd people at my previous home, so I need someone who can give me an outlet for my energy. I am eager to please and happy to work—just give me something to do! While I have some issues getting along with children and small animals, I get along really well with other dogs. I thrive in an environment where I can engage in activities that challenge my mind and body, whether it's learning new tricks, playing fetch, or going on long walks. I have a strong desire to bond with my human companions and show my love through enthusiastic kisses. I may want you all to myself, but with some guidance, I can learn how to share my affection. If you’re looking for a devoted and energetic companion who will fill your days with joy, we’re a match made in heaven!
