Story
Miss Ellie was found walking across a busy highway in Caldwell, Idaho, on July 20, 2024. Efforts to find her people came up empty, and on Aug. 3 she delivered seven pups. Vets estimate her age to be somewhere between 1-2 years old. She weighs 38 pounds. Wisdom Panel DNA on one of the puppies revealed 77% Australian cattle dog, single-digit percentages of Mini-American Shepherd, Border Collie, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, Collie. It is safe to say that Ellie is primarily Australian cattle dog. Ellie is housetrained, crate trained, quite affectionate and happy, thoroughly enjoys other dogs, leaves cats to themselves; although, she will chase if they run. She hunts like a fox or coyote, hearing the slightest movement in alfalfa fields/grasses and pouncing. Ellie is an active dog and enjoys her daily outings. She is housetrained and desires to be near her people as much as possible—even wants to be touching someone while she sleeps. Ellie's adoption fee is $350 and includes spay and vaccines.

Story
Liz, aka Lady Elizabeth, is an Australian Kelpie mix. She is approximately 3 years old and about 36 lbs. Liz is highly inquisitive and just the sweetest bundle of joy. We love this dog’s intensity. She is going to need an active family and lifestyle. She is a tough, resilient little dog. She is intelligent, eager and enthusiastic. Liz is great with other dogs! Though as an extremely social lady she occasionally gets a bit bossy, this results in her trying to herd her pals. She LOVES to play with her foster sister (a very dominant herder herself). They enjoy wrestling and will zoom around the yard with toys playing chase. Liz is housetrained and crate trained. She rides well in the car and loves going places with you. This social girl loves all people, occasionally is a little shy at first with strangers, but warms up quickly. We don’t know how Liz is with cats and she is probably a little too intense for young children. When Liz first came into rescue we noticed she was having trouble with one of her back legs, possibly from a previous injury. In November she had hip surgery (modified femoral head ostectomy) and is now fully recovered and has been released by her surgeon. This has not slowed Lizzie down at all, but due to this she is not a candidate for competing in agility. She would be great at other dog sports! It doesn’t impede her hiking and she doesn’t require medication or follow ups! When asked to sum up living with Liz, many things came to mind. I will miss her! She’s just a delight, cute and cuddly, rather an expert snuggler, but always up for a walk or play session. Her best characteristic is her happy energy. She enjoys her routine and will benefit from sticking to a more active life style. Since her surgery, she’s gotten even braver and her hilarious antics are going to light up someone’s life. She loves my female the most. They are always playing or cuddling. She’s hiked with a lot of my friends larger dogs and did fantastically (malamutes and vizslas). Definitely worth noting she is a passionate chewer. It brings her such joy! She can be a bit destructive with her chewing so we are mindful of things left on the floor. (We’ve only lost one slipper and after a redirect she has been the perfect house guest). She is insanely fast at learning and will just need some time to acclimate to her new home! She will come with some of her favorite toys! Elizabeth is a really easy keeper. She’s a true darling with the sweetest disposition. She deserves the best life! Liz's adoption fee is $350. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. If you are interested in possibly adopting Liz, please complete an adoption application located here: https://idawg.org/application.html

Story
Born Aug. 3, 2024. South Fork is one of seven Australian cattle dog mix puppies. Wisdom Panel DNA showed 77% Australian Cattle Dog, single-digit% Mini-American Shepherd, Border Collie, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, trace% Collie. At the time of photos, Oct. 13, 2024, South Fork weighed 14.5 pounds. His nickname morphed from talk about the T-shaped “brand” on his back. Soft, affectionate, playful, and gentle, South Fork generally acts more like a Golden Retriever than a typical ACD. He loves to cuddle, explore, play, enjoy close companionship. He’s intelligent and intuitive, almost house trained already, wants to please people. South Fork needs someone who will meet his gaze with as much affection as he shows in his brown eyes, give him enriching adventures, and nurture his trust. He would love to share a home with a caring adult dog as a mentor. South Fork’s adoption fee is $300 and an additional deposit of $200 will be refunded upon proof of neuter, which is a requirement when he is between the ages of 6 and 12 months. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting South Fork, please complete an adoption applicaiton located here: https://idawg.org/application.html

She’s almost house trained already, waits her turn, naturally sits when she approaches or is asked. She’s a snuggler, soft and so very sweet. Bernice's adoption fee is $300 and an additional deposit of $200 will be refunded upon proof of spay, which is a requirement when Bernice is between the ages of 6 and 12 months.

Story
Arroway is a male puppy born August 3, 2024. Wisdom Panel DNA showed 77% Australian Cattle Dog, single-digit% Mini-American Shepherd, Border Collie, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, trace% Collie. At the time of the photos in late October, 2024, Arroway weighed apx 15 pounds. There’s a lot going on in this pup. He’s extra smart like his mom, possesses extra big feelings, exuberance for life and love. While it may be challenging for someone to keep him challenged mentally and physically while helping burn off excess energy, the rewards will be amazing. He already has a personal trainer for all these things and is doing quite well, so if the right person can grab the baton and run with him, his race will be a successful one. He loves people and soaks up adoration. He wants to play with patient adult dogs.Arroway knows how to shut things down after a good workout and snuggles right in with his person or some good toys. He is a great little companion. Arroway’s adoption fee is $300 and an additional deposit of $200 will be refunded upon proof of neuter, which is a requirement when he is between the ages of 6 and 12 months. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Arroway, please complete an adoption applicaiton located here: https://idawg.org/application.html
