Story

Ella (formerly called Bella) is fostered in Sioux City, IA Meet Miss Ella Girl – a handsome black and tan Aussie lady with a full fluffy tail! Ella was dropped off in the shelter by someone who claimed to have found her – but turned out to be her owner who had abused her for four years. The timid girl was thin, sick and afraid of everything but was looking for love. When we brought her home, she jumped on the couch right away and tried to be a lap dog. Ella is a 4 year old female Australian Shepherd with a gorgeous tail. Despite her history, Ella loves people, other dogs, and cats. Now at 50 pounds, Ella has put on some weight, gained confidence, and is now spayed. She loves to snuggle, get belly rubs, and play in the yard with other dogs. She is still timid about some things. she eyes the hairbrush with much distrust but has learned to enjoy some brushing. She does not like her paws touched too much, but doesn't fuss about nail trim and has learned (somewhat reluctantly) to shake a paw and receive a treat. Ella goes to kennel willingly but does not like to have the kennel door closed. She is intelligent and learns fast, so further training will come easily. Ella is housebroken and has never had an accident in the house. She loves to take walks and is great on the leash. She is not destructive in the home, but may occasional consider counter surfing. She is a real cuddler and would like to sleep in the bed with people but is also OK sleeping in her own bed or on the couch. Like most Aussies, Ella eats everything and is especially fond of vegetables – cabbage, cucumbers, broccoli – all these are treats! Luckily, he has not figured out that these he could eat them straight from the garden. He also loves trash – especially plastic. Shee won’t eat it, but she loves to chew it – bottle caps, chapstick, pens, and such. Ella can be a bit timid when first when meeting new people but warms up to them quite fast. (Treats help!). Ella loves to play with other dogs and gets along well with the other two resident Aussies. Sometimes the play gets rambunctious and loud because Ella does love to bark! She can get a little snappy during play, but a calm correction of “no teeth” and shewill back off. Because of this, she is probably not the best fit with little children. Ella loves cats – and usually does not chase them - most of the time the resident cat is ignored. She has done great on car rides. We also recommend a physically fenced yard with an adopter who will continue the training and love she has received in her foster home. She is 100% certifiably adorable. Ella needs: A home with a secure, fenced-in yard A dedicated owner to lover her, give her confidence, and continue her training Ella Wants: Someone who will snuggle and rub her belly and take him out for walks Ella is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccinations and receiving monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworms. She does require a committed adopter who is willing to devote 1 - 2 hours of mental and physical stimulation per day. 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.

Story

Bentley is fostered in Pleasonton, KS. Meet Bentley. Bentley was surrendered to us when his owner had some medical issues and was unable to continue caring for him. Bentley came in a little under-socialized and slightly overweight but he has come A LONG WAY! Bentley is 3 year old male Australian Shepherd mix who is working towards his ideal weight of approximately 50 lbs. Bentley previously spent great deal of time in his crate. For this reason, he did not receive proper socialization. Socialization is something his foster home has diligently been working on with him. She has been desensitizing him to many things, including leash walking, grooming, other dogs and other people. Bentley previously experienced some fears in some area, but he really has put in a lot of work and he is making wonderful progress in all areas. Bentley is in a foster home with several other dogs of ages and sizes, and does well with them. We are unsure about cats. Bentley is more of a low-key guy who is looking for an adopter who enjoys the same type of lifestyle. He prefers a home where there are less comings and goings. We also recommend a physically fenced yard and a home that is both patient and has no children under age 12. Bentley is a talker. The more you talk to him, the more he expresses his feelings. Bentley is what we term a "work in progress", but he is the type of dog that will quickly become your best friend once trust is gained between you. Are you looking for your new best friend? Bentley is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.

Story

Steel is fostered in St Louis MO Steel is your next adventure dude! He was a stray that showed up to a home and never left. Given their children were allergic, he is now in foster care with us. Steel is estimated to be 7-8 months of age and is approximatley 35 - 40 lbs. He has a gorgeous blue merle coat with piercing blue eyes. He is ready to trade his street past for a purpose. Left behind in the freezing cold with snow on the ground, a kind woman and her daughter found him abd kept him safe and warm while they searched for an owner, with no luck. Steel is a young, working-dog boy with puppy energy and a big heart. He is affectionate, intelligent and bonds deeply with his people. He wants to be involved and longs for a purpose and a family to show him what belonging feels like. Given his stray background, Steel will need an adopter who is committed to some basic obedience, along with structure and direction. As with any young aussie, he desires a consistent routine, supervision, plus some patience during the transition into your adoptive home. Steel is super smart and eager to please. Given his lack of an previous training, he is still learning potty training, basic manners and house manners. Steel will require a physically fenced yard and some additional work on leash walking. Steel is in a foster home with other dogs of all ages. He has done fabulous with them, even wanting to engage in play. We are unsure about cats or small children. While Steel didn't have the best start, he has proved himself very eager to please and would make a wonderful addition to the active home. He might even be good at a dog sport: agility, herding work, scent work, hiking/running, farm or acreage life. Steel is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.

Story

Barry is being fostered in Griffith, IN. Barry is an approximately 2 ½ year old red-tri Aussie looking for a forever home to finally have a place he can come into his own! His birthday is unknown, but this good boy looks forward to celebrating his gotcha day every year with his people! At 45 lbs, Barry is a medium sized boy that has mastered basic commands and potty training. He can either indicate when he needs to go out or ring potty bells and is working on learning more advanced commands of “spin” and “stay”. He is also so well-behaved that he doesn’t require a crate but is undergoing crate training, just in case it is the preference of his forever home. Additionally, Barry is perfectly content on car rides and will lay down for the journey. Heavy duty toys and balls are a MUST for this pup, as he loves to play and he knows how to take apart a plushie dog toy. Bask in his beautiful, loving eyes while receiving Barry cuddles between games of fetch. Barry loves playing with toy balls the most and will do so inside or in the backyard. Please note it is currently unknown if he requires a fence, but his habit appears to be staying with his people and his toys when in the backyard. Speaking of toys, Barry adores his toys so much that we recommend he live as the only dog in his household, as he gets protective over his prized possessions with other dogs. Barry also highly cherishes his people and will protect them through thick and thin, so no rough housing around this pup or expect a nip. Given his protection skills, it is recommended that Barry live in a child-free household or, at the very least, no children under the age of 14 years old. As much as Barry loves to play outside, he is not thrilled with required grooming, but he loves a good food-based distraction to help him persevere through his grooming needs. He will also require some high-quality treats to redirect his attention during walks because, though he is fantastic on the leash, he does display reactive barking towards other people and dogs out in the world. Lastly, Barry has never met a cat, so it is unknown how he will react, but we do know he is ready to love his human(s) as soon as possible! Barry is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.

Tito is fostered in Waukesha, WI This gorgeous guy would love to be your one and only! Tito is the absolute sweetest black tri male Australian Shepherd. He was a stray who landed in an IL shelter. Tito is estimated to be about a year old and approximately 50 lbs. His mezmorizing golden eyes just melt the soul! Tito falls hard. He falls for his humans and he loves all his things. Tito is a pleasure to be around with his fondness for people of all shapes and sizes. Given he has had little to no training, we feel it's best that his adopter be someone experienced with herding breeds. He also could use some basic obedience training, which is an excellent way to bond. This guy is TOTALLY food motivated and he does respond nicely to commands. Tito is crate trained and house trained. He totally loves car rides and running errands with you.... anything to be next to his humans. Tito is far too prey driven to be in a home with any feline companions though. He would be AUSSOME as the squirrel patrolman on duty! He enjoys being the BIG lap dog that he is and he is actually QUITE human focused and very food motivated, making him eager to please his hooman. Tito is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.

Story

Willy is fostered in Marion, WI. Meet Willy. This little cutie is a blue merle male Mini American Shepherd. He is about a year and a half old and 16-18lbs. This little sweet boy is looking for his forever humans that understand that he is a little shy and timid, but very sweet and will take time to settle in and be a good boy BUT it will also be super rewarding to continue to watch his progress of learning how to dog. Willy is part of a hoarding situation where we took several mini/toy aussies. Willy was one of the most shy and timid of the group BUT he has blossomed SO much in his foster home. Willy will need a special adopter who is willing to continue socializing him at his pace. He has made great strides already since arriving in rescue. Willy will need another confident and social resident dog in the home to take cues from. Willy gets along remarkably well with other dogs. He is even great with cats. Willy is house and crate trained and does see his crate as a safe place. Willy will need a physically fenced yard. He does prefer a female caregiver but his foster home is working on slowly introducing him to men. We recommend a quieter home where there is not a lot of traffic or young kids. Other than being cute as can be, he also gives hugs! Willy's must haves: a confident resident dog, a physically fenced yard, a patient adopter willing to help him blossom to be the bestest boy he can be. Willy is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.
