Story
Angel is from a breeder in NY and has had her shots. She a loving 4 month old Mastiff mix breed puppy that does not always know her own strength. She is really good with people, and loves to play. She currently has a miniature schnauzer sister that can not handle her puppy playing. Angel needs a home with medium or large dogs. We really hate to let her go but it is necessary for our other dog, whom we have had for a lot longer. Loves ice cubes, belly rubs and playing tug of war. We have started to train her and she is doing really good. We will pay for her to be spayed as well.

Story
Banks is fostered in Ottumwa, Iowa.  Say hello to this handsome and INCREDIBLY sweet boy named Banks. Banks is a male, standard aussie, weighing about 40 lbs and is estimated around 5 years old. Banks is a SWEET boy and would love nothing more than a home with plenty of love and another outgoing dog friend. Banks' first few years were spent with approximately 60 other dogs on a property.  When the man was getting evicted, he gave away all the dogs to random people that arrived to pick one out.  Thankfully, Banks was given to a responsible person that allowed us to take him into rescue. H is coat was in rough shape with matting and had to be shaved/  His coat has returned nicely and he looks REMARKABLE. Banks goes to doggie daycare and plays well with many other dogs. Banks will chill after a fair amount of play, chew on antlers or bones. Banks is being fostered with many other dogs and does wonderfully. Banks has great house manners; is crate trained and house trained. While Banks is a little timid and shy, he is SOOO happy and has learned SO MUCH in foster care.  He does seek out pets from his foster home and even gives a few kisses.  He also sleeps in the bed with other dogs and does VERY well being left out in the house. Banks will do best with another outgoing, social dog in the home to take cues from.  Banks does require a physically fenced yard.  Banks is even good with cats.  Little kids may scare Banks, so no children under 10 years of age.   Banks is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccines (including Lyme) and is receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms.  Proof of heartworm preventatives for all past and current pets is required to adopt from us.  If you have what it takes to help Banks blossom into the bestest boy, please visit our website for more information on our adoption process, see our adoption fees, and find a link to our adoption application.  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 ##1850267##

Story
Rue is being fostered in Vandalia IL Meet Rue.  This 60 lb. STUNNING silky soft coated black tri male Australian Shepherd is looking for his forever home.  He is affectionate, sweet and oh so loving with his people.  Rue came to rescue because his previous home had a significant change in jobs and needed to travel for work way to often to be able to provide time with him. Rue is well trained with tons of skills!  He knows sit, down, stay, wait, leave it, and so many more.  He has EXCELLENT house manners and doesn't need to be crated when no one is home. He also enjoys riding in the car.  Rue needs a home with another smaller dog or to be the only pup.  He doesn't like to share his human and can be a bit protective of his human from other dogs.  He will need someone that is dog savvy and has good leadership like any other Aussie owner.  He walks well on a leash too! He is currently in a home with another Aussie and they don't see eye to eye, but he also has a small 4 legged foster sibling (Feist, small hunting dog) and she is the BOSS and they co-exist without incident.  In his previous home, Rue would go to doggie daycare for half days and had a great time!  Rue would like a quieter home with no children, no cats, maybe another dog but it would depend on the dog, and a fenced backyard of his own, or someone that would walk him each day, play with him, and occupy his mind with some mental stimulation like tricks or hide and seek.  He would be absolutely perfect for a retired couple or person that wants a well trained dog.  He would really thrive in that kind of environment.  If Rue sounds like the sidekick for you, please complete an adoption application today at https://midwestaustralianshepherdrescue.org/home/adoption-application/ ##2048348##

Story
Apollo is fostered in Salem, WI. Happy Boy Apollo, affectionally called Bubby! Bubby is an energetic, 25-pound black tricolor bob tail Australian Shepherd male, born 02/22/2024. Who could resist his little freckled face? Besides being super cute, Bubby is very loving and sweet. He is a perfect puppy package of personality, playfulness, and precociousness!  Bubby will always reassure you that he loves you by licking your face clean! Bubby would love to spend everyday with his person, loving on them and being loved on. He loves to meet new people and even enjoys playing with kids.  Playing with the other dogs and laying on the couch are some of Bubby’s favorite things to do. He knows when outside it's time to play and when inside its time to relax. Bubby has some 'pup in progress' areas and fortunately, he is learning very quickly. Bubby will sometimes pee when overly excited or when you first try to pet him. He overall has good house manners and is getting close to being potty trained.  He does well in his crate and sleeps in it at night. No doubt, with some time to get used to a new environment and bonding with his family, he will be able to spend more time out of his crate alone or with his folks at night. Bubby has a very nice recall and does well on the leash.  Bubby is ready to learn and eat all the treats given to him for being such a good boy. He came to us after his previous home recognized that they were not suited to take care of a young Australian Shepherd. Mental and physical stimulation and continued socialization are requiredb for Bubby be his best self.  Active folks who love Aussie awesomeness and appreciate all that comes withraising a puppy - the joys and the challenges - are going to adore this one. He is the dog for someone with an energetic lifestyle who sees a pup as a family member to bring along and hang out with.  What is Bubby seeking in his Forever Home?  Bubby's person(s) should be active, have herding dog or similar breed experience and confidence to meet the needs and the traits of an Aussie puppy.  They will patiently guide and lead this smart, spirited puppy, giving him time to grow into himself.  They see continued training and a lifetime of engaging their dog as a natural part of having a canine family member. Bubby would welcome another dog or pet. Bubby is currently dreaming about his future forever home, sitting on someone's special lap giving them tons of kisses and letting them know they’re loved! Does this bubbly boy make your heart burst with joy?  ##2083755##
