Story
Jewel is One Gem of an Adventure Companion! Meet magnificent Jewel, a gorgeous 3 year old white heeler mix eager for fun! This active girl loves going on walks and making new furry friends along the way. Though she looks robust, Jewel enjoys keeping busy and will thrive in an equally energetic home. After playtime, this sweet girl is quite the cuddle bug, content to lazily chew on a toy or soak up some sunshine while resting. Jewel spent most of her recent life as a solo dog and will need some socialization to newcomers both human and animal. But she warms up quickly with proper introductions. Outgoing Jewel rides nicely in the car and makes an excellent alert companion, letting her people know whenever someone is at the door. All she wants is an active family to call her own that gives her plenty of devotion, playtime, and adventure together. Jewel will turn 3 in March - what better present than finding her happy furever home at last! If you’re seeking a loyal dog with just as much tenacious spirit as snuggly affection to give, look no further than darling Jewel!

Story
HIGHLIGHTS:Needs patient, experienced adoptersNeeds an active homeCan go home with another dog or alonePrefers to go to a home with a fenced-in yard Livy is a stunning 2-year-old Australian Shepherd weighing 30 pounds. Livy is a wonderful dog who LOVES being around her humans. She is affectionate and playful. If given the choice, she would play fetch for hours! We really think she missed her calling as a ball fetcher for Major League Baseball. She also loves treats but can be picky about sharing them. She is insecure about high value resources like bones or especially tasty food being taken from her, but the NMDR behavior team will talk you through what to do to manage this behavior and help her feel more secure.Livy is extremely intelligent and athletic. She would do best in an active home where she can join you on your outdoor adventures! She walks wonderfully on leash and really enjoys being outside. She'd also thrive in a home with a fenced yard where she can get her daily fix of fetch and fresh air. She would benefit from plenty of mental stimulation like puzzle toys, agility training, or frozen kongs to challenge that brilliant brain of hers. We like to say that she needs a job because she is so intelligent, focused, and determined. Livy tends to feel more comfortable around women, but does warm up fairly quickly to men if they bribe her with snacks. Once she has accepted you into her circle, Livy wiggles her butt with joy at the sight of you and wants to be scratched and cuddled. She could do well as the only dog in a home or would be happy to gain some canine siblings, especially if they're energetic and will play with her! Due to her insecurities around high value resources, Livy will need any children in the home to be old enough to respect her boundaries (14+).Livy is the sweetest girl and has so much potential just waiting to be unlocked in a loving, understanding home. If you would like to meet Livy, please apply at NMDR.org. We think you will fall in love like we have!- - - - - -Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization. As a result, there is often an adjustment period when learning about life as a family pet. We typically do not adopt to homes with young children. Homes with older children will be considered on an individual basis. Common skills such as house training and leash walking will often take a little extra time. Patience, understanding and a gentle hand are a must. The great news is, most of these dogs come around rather quickly and being a part of their rehabilitation is an extremely rewarding experience.

Story
Razzy is a gorgeous 7-year-old red and white Miniature Australian Shepard. She weighs 26 pounds. She is very sweet with gorgeous soulful eyes. Razzy is benefiting from one of our wonderful foster homes and is thriving living there. Razzy loves her morning walks and being outside in the dog park with other dogs. When not outside Razzy can be a couch potato, so this girl can do it all, be your hiking buddy or couch buddy.Though she was quite fearful when arriving at NMDR she has made tremendous progress. She now currently enjoys belly rubs from people she knows and even pets from some new friends on the morning walk on the highline canal trail. She warms up to men very quickly. She walks beautifully on a leash and has become accustomed to the scheduled stops on her walk for treats. She is a vey smart girl and know the commands for wait, come and learning sit. Razzy enjoys her dog friends but also does fine when left at her foster home by herself. Razzy has been living in an apartment for more than 3 ½ months without a yard but looks to the dog park and walks a few times a day. Everyday Razzy learns to be more comfortable with people and is now starting to snuggle on the sofa against her foster mom for pets. She continues to progress everyday, and it is wonderful to watch.Razzy needs adults and any children must be over 13. She is not a fan of loud children. We hope you are the right person or family for this precious girl. If you agree, please apply to meet her at NMDR.org.
