Story
Ollie’s perfect parent would be someone that can walk him twice a day and can dedicate time to play with him. Ollie is very active and would do well with other active dogs not with older dogs or small dogs due to Ollie pawing and tugging at them in order to play. He loves children and gets super excited around them. He would do well with older children not small children due to how excited he gets, he will lick and jump on them and if they are small children he can knock them over with excitement.

Story
We purchased Ollie from a local Australian Shepherd breeder in Southern Idaho. His birthday is March 31, 2023. He is a Blue Merle colored Australian Shepherd. He is a true herding dog and has had plenty of practice with our 4 children. He has never shown an ounce of aggression and if he could have it his way he would lay next to you and cuddle all day long. We brought him into our family before we knew we were expecting another child. He has been an amazingly patient dog with the amount of time we spend taking care of our family and all the aspects that go along with it. He is crate trained and am happy to provide the crate as part of the adoption. He is very intelligent, food motivated, and always look for approval or cuddles. He is house trained and does well to communicate with us when he needs to go outside. He loves going for runs and walks. A perfect family for Ollie would be one that has at least 30-60 minutes a day to dedicate to exercise and affection. We truly will miss him.

Story
Meet Indy – The Spirited Little Kelpie with a Big Heart At just 3 years old and around 40 pounds, Indy may be small in size, but she’s bursting with personality, intelligence, and love. This Kelpie–Cattle Dog mix is the perfect blend of playful and affectionate — a lively companion who adores her people and thrives on interaction. Indy is currently in private training to help fine-tune her manners and work on her prey drive, and she’s making wonderful progress. She’s incredibly smart, eager to please, and food-motivated, which makes training sessions a joy. This sweet girl loves: Running the fence line and chatting with the neighbor dogs through the knotholes (she’s a social butterfly!). Helping in the garden, where she proudly “hunts” grasshoppers and voles — it’s her version of pest control! Watching out the window while you’re away, then greeting you like it’s been years, even if you just took the trash out. Playing with kids — she adores them and has a fun, gentle energy that matches well with families. Indy is well-behaved in the home, even when left alone, and though she isn’t crate-trained, she doesn’t need to be. She’s doing great with her basic commands and is learning better leash manners — a gentle over-the-nose leash helps her walk beautifully. She enjoys playing with other dogs but can be selective, so slow, proper introductions are key. Due to her background and instincts, she should avoid German Shepherds, as that’s one breed she doesn’t get along with well. Indy’s Ideal Home: A family with children or active adults who love to engage with their dog A secure fenced yard to explore and play Possibly a compatible dog companion (with good intros!) Someone patient and consistent who will continue her positive training Her Story Before rescue, Indy was a working ranch dog who’d fallen on hard times. Injured and pregnant, she was left to fend for herself outdoors through harsh winter conditions. She was found having dug a hole in the frozen ground to shelter her seven pups — Pearl, Opal, Jade, Arrow, River, Ash, and Archer — keeping them warm until help arrived. Her strength and devotion saved them all. Now, safe and healed, Indy is thriving in her foster home in Kimberly, Idaho, and is so ready for her forever family. Her foster loves her dearly and is even sponsoring 50% of her adoption fee to help her find the perfect match.

Bonded Best Friends Need a Home – Foster or Adopt Together! Meet this adorable half of a little duo (Rose and Daisy)—two scruffy sweethearts found together at a local truck stop, refusing to leave each other's side. These resilient girls have clearly been through a lot, and now they’re searching for a loving foster or forever home where they can stay together and feel safe again. While their exact breeds are unknown, they’re possibly Terrier mixes with Idaho Shag influence—whatever their mix, they’re undeniably full of character and charm. These girls are: Bonded and inseparable Loyal, playful, and curious Small, scruffy, and full of personality Cautious at first, but warm up with time and love They’ll need a little patience and a gentle hand as they adjust, but once settled, they’ll reward you with double the love and twice the joy. Whether you're fostering or adopting, bringing these two into your home is a deeply rewarding opportunity to help them blossom. Adopt one, and the second is free! (Adoption fee covers both girls.)

Story
Meet Ryder – The Smart, Snuggly Scholar with a Heart of Gold Ryder is a one-of-a-kind mix — part Australian Kelpie, American Bully, and a splash of Cattle Dog — and somehow, all heart. At about 1.5 years old, he’s a handsome, athletic boy with the intelligence of a herding breed and the loyalty of a Bully. Though he’s larger than most of his lineage, he’s as gentle as they come and loves nothing more than being close to his people. When Ryder first came into rescue, he was a bit unsure of himself. He had always looked to his older housemates for cues on how to act, drawing comfort from their calm confidence. Being out on his own was intimidating. But through private training sessions at Saragold, Ryder has blossomed — and now, he looks to his handler for guidance with focus and trust. At his most recent adoption event, Ryder was the picture of composure — a true gentleman, walking beautifully on leash, greeting other dogs with excitement and good manners, and showing everyone just how far he’s come. Ryder’s Highlights: Excellent leash manners – heels perfectly and stays attentive to his person Fully housebroken and crate trained – uses the doggy door like a pro Treat-motivated and fast learner – mastered “touch” and “place” by watching others Calm, affectionate, and people-focused – a real cuddler who loves being close Great with other dogs and even cats, sharing toys and space with ease Playful but thoughtful – loves fetch, squeaky toys, and even watching Lassie and Pup Academy! Loves water, though he’s more of a splash artist than a swimmer — he’ll stick his whole face in the kiddie pool just for fun! Ryder doesn’t resource guard, has a wonderful temperament, and learns quickly by observing. His confidence has grown tremendously — he’s now relaxed, affectionate, and eager to please. Because of his Bully side, Ryder is mainly an indoor dog, as these breeds are sensitive to temperature extremes. Ryder’s foster is very attached to him and wants to see him continue to thrive in a home that will cultivate his intelligence, continue his training, and give him the love and consistency he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and goofy best friend who’s come into his own and just wants to share life by your side, Ryder is your guy.
