Story

Meet Winter! Our guess is that she is an Aussie or Aussie mix. She is visually impaired and deaf, but she has learned to navigate the world beautifully and doesn’t let anything slow her down! She loves chasing the figures in our yard (i.e., children). She is living with other foster animals and seems to understand when they have reached their tolerance limit. She would benefit from professional training and support to give her the tools she needs to be confident and calm in her world. Winter has discovered a path through the house that gets her to water and then the doggie door to get outside. Right now she is eating from an enrichment mat to help her eat more slowly. This girl is pretty smart and uses her nose extremely well - she will follow whoever comes near. In typical puppy fashion, she does not alert yet that she needs to go potty, but if you pay attention, she will potty immediately upon waking up and within a few minutes of eating. She is dog and cat friendly, but is very curious, so would likely do best with a cat with some patience. She could fit nicely into a multi-pet home.

Story

Meet Pancake! 🥞 She is one of the 7 Aussie or Aussie mix pups dumped on the side of the road. Though she is visually impaired and deaf, you’d never know it by the way she zooms around, follows her people, and throws herself into playtime. She has learned to navigate the world beautifully and doesn’t let anything slow her down! She is working on touch commands, but still has a lot to learn. Visual cues have been tried, but her fosters believe that she is not able to see well enough and touch commands would be a better fit for her. This girl is FULL of energy and personality and highly food motivated. She would thrive in an active home with respectful and patient kids, playful dogs, or anyone ready for adventures and lots of fun! Pancake absolutely loves having friends to romp around with, but when the day is done, she’s more than happy to crash on the couch for snuggles and naps. She is dog and cat friendly, but is very curious, so would likely do best with a cat with some patience, and could fit nicely into a multi-pet home.

Meet Egg! 🥚 He is one of the 7 Aussie or Aussie mix pups dumped on the side of the road. Though he is visually impaired and deaf, you’d never know it by the way he zooms around, follows his people, and throws himself into playtime. He has learned to navigate the world beautifully and doesn’t let anything slow him down! He is working on touch commands but still has a lot to learn. Visual cues have been tried, but his fosters believe that he is not able to see well enough and touch commands would be a better fit for him. This boy is incredibly sweet and is a foster favorite. He would thrive in an active home with anyone ready for adventures and lots of fun, but would also be content with chill trail walks and movies on the couch. He is dog and cat friendly, but is very curious, so would likely do best with a patient cat, and could fit nicely into a multi-pet home. Egg would absolutely be happy to be a single spoiled boy as well!

Story

Well hi there - my name's Elanore, but my foster mom calls me Ellie! I’m a sweet little 14yr old, 13lb Chiweenie, with a frosty face and soft brown eyes, who lost her family a while back. I came to RCHS with numerous health problems: I had heartworm disease, multiple tumors and horrible dental disease. After months of treatments and a few surgeries, I’m all fixed up now and ready to live my bestest life!! I’m pretty laid back and love to nap, but then I’m a mature lady who doesn’t care to go crazy or chew things up. Toys, nope, they are for babies; just give me a soft doggie bed and a blanket or towel to cover myself during the day and I’m good! I like to follow foster mom around the house, as I feel safer when I know she is nearby, but otherwise, I’m pretty quiet. I like to sleep on the bed with mom and will cover myself up with a little doggie throw blanket. I just find it comforting to be close to my people. I’m fine with other dogs, except puppies who want to constantly play with me - I just can’t have that! After all, I’m a dignified mature lady! Older dogs who will leave me alone to nap are great, and cats don’t bother me a bit, I’m fine with them - they are usually much too snooty anyway. I don’t really bark, so I accidently learned how to jingle some bells that foster mom had hanging from the door knob, when I want to go outside to potty. Who says you have to be a puppy to learn new tricks!! Occasionally I forget to use the bells, but I will still go to the door. If you ask me if I have to go outside to potty, I will go with you to the door and go outside. Who says you have to be a puppy to learn new tricks!! I’m pretty much finished with all my medical issues, except I’m still recovering for the next few weeks from my big dental (that mean dentist removed all but 8 of my teeth!) and my tongue will often hang out of my mouth. But that’s okay - it’s a cute little pink tongue. I am now a bit messy when I eat or drink, so foster mom put down an absorbent little mat to soak up the water, but never fear, I will “hoover” up any of the food that missed my bowl while I ate! At my age I’m not much of a jumper, so my foster mom bought a couple of foam stairs so I can get up on the couch and the bed at night and it only took me a few minutes to figure them out. I’m kind of smart like that. I’m looking for a quiet family, maybe with someone who is home most of the time, as I do get anxious when left by myself - but don’t worry, I won’t tear things up. I just get a bit scared that you aren’t coming back and I'll bounce all over when you do come back, so you will know how much I missed you. I probably would not do well in a house with little kids; maybe teens would be ok. I'm looking for a family who would understand that I’m an older lady, who no longer 'fetches' or plays with toys like a puppy, but would happily lay by them for pets and a few belly rubs.

Meet Hashbrown! 🥔 She is one of the 7 Aussie or Aussie mix pups dumped on the side of the road. Though she is visually impaired and deaf, you’d never know it by the way she zooms around, follows her people, and throws herself into playtime. She has learned to navigate the world beautifully and doesn’t let anything slow her down! She is working on touch commands but still has a lot to learn. Visual cues have been tried but her fosters believe that she is not able to see well enough and touch commands would be a better fit for her. Very similarly to her sister Pancake, this girl is FULL of energy and personality and highly food motivated. She would thrive in an active home with kids, playful dogs, or anyone ready for adventures and lots of fun. She truly just wants to be around people at ALL times and she is not afraid to tell you so! Hashbrown absolutely loves having friends to romp around with, but when the day is done, she’s more than happy to crash on the couch for snuggles and naps. She is dog and cat friendly, but is very curious, so would likely do best with a cat with some patience, and could fit nicely into a multi-pet home.
