Story
To learn more about Trip, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org. Say hello to Trip, a happy-go-lucky 1-year-old Australian Cattle Dog who’s ready to trip right into your heart. With his gorgeous blonde coat sprinkled with cute ticking, he’s as striking as he is sweet. This friendly pup has loved all people, including kids, and soaks up attention from anyone who will give it to him. He generally walks well on leash, with the occasional investigative sniff work when something interests him. He takes treats gently, knows “sit,” and loves to play fetch—he can even catch a ball mid-air like a little furry outfielder! He’ll chase anything you toss, bring it back proudly, and also happily entertain himself with toys he picks out on his own. Trip has energy to spare, a big zest for life, and a heart full of happy. He sleeps like a champ through the night and is doing well with his potty training. Since he is both food- and toy-motivated, this will make him a great candidate for training as he grows. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, people-loving, toy-loving whirlwind of joy, Trip is ready to take you on the adventure of a lifetime. Bring him home and let the fun begin!

Story
To learn more about Ringo, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org. A Day in the Life of Ringo: Play, Cuddles, Repeat! Meet Ringo, an 8-month-old cattle dog mix who’s ready to rock your world! This playful and curious pup is already stealing hearts with his stunning brindled coat, big personality, and endless zest for life. He loves everyone he meets and thrives on adventure. Whether he’s chasing balls, running free in the yard, or showing off his growing list of commands, Ringo’s enthusiasm is contagious. Ringo is very smart—the kind of clever that keeps you laughing and on your toes. He’s eager to please, loves treats (almost as much as his toys!), and is learning quickly what it means to be a well-mannered young gentleman. He’s house-trained, a good car companion, and enjoys relaxing by the door, watching the world go by or napping close to his favorite human. Like any bright, young pup, Ringo needs both physical exercise and mental challenges to keep his tail wagging. He’d do best with an active adopter who enjoys being outdoors and has a fully fenced yard where he can safely zoom to his heart’s content. He’s still growing out of his puppy antics—a bit jumpy, mouthy, and full of energy—but with patience, consistency, and continued training, Ringo will mature into an incredible lifelong companion. If you’re ready to team up with a fun, whip-smart pup who’ll keep you laughing, learning, and moving, come meet Ringo today—he’s ready to join your fab family!

To learn more about Lazy River please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Lazy River is an Australian cattle dog mix-the sweetest one out there ! He’s calm, cuddly and affectionate and so very loving once he gets to know you. Lazy River can be a little shy with strangers but his curiosity soon gets the better of him. Lazy River can be understandably a little anxious in a new environment, but quickly settles in, especially when given a calm place to unwind. Lazy River has a lot of puppy energy to burn off, so he will love all activities and play time. He would do well with a family who can help him learn his leash walking- he’s already well on his way in learning his basic doggie commands such as sit, stay and lay down. Come say hi to Lazy River and maybe you’ll find in him the perfect companion, happy to float along where life takes you both.

To learn more about Bert, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org. Meet Bert, your new snuggly adventure buddy! Bert is an energetic 3-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with the heart of a giant marshmallow. He’s a friendly, people-loving goofball who thinks life is best lived at full speed—unless it’s couch-snuggle time, in which case he melts into you like warm butter. He loves meeting new humans and bonds with his people quickly. This handsome guy is an adventurer at heart. He’s thoroughly enjoyed park strolls, backyard zoomies, fetch marathons, and sniffing every interesting smell within a 5-mile radius. He’s also impressively smart—he already knows “sit,” “heel,” “lie down,” and “come,” and will stop what he’s doing with just a clap (basically dog magic). Bert can get a bit overexcited around some dogs and when he spots squirrels or birds, so walks with him are never boring. Because of his abundant zest for life, a home with adults or older teens is ideal. Once he burns off his energy, he settles into a calm, easygoing companion who loves napping nearby and checking in for the occasional dose of affection. At his core, Bert is a sweet, affectionate, hilarious pup who wants a home where he can run, play, explore, and then flop dramatically onto you for love. Loyal, cuddly, and full of personality, he’ll bring tons of joy—and plenty of funny stories—to whoever adopts him. Come meet Bert today and get ready to fall in love with this fun-loving guy!
