Story
Alfie is being fostered in Cincinnati OH Meet Alfie!  Alfie is a blue merle male, standard Australian Shepherd, who is just over a year old and currently weighs approximately 35lbs.  We imagine Alfie will stay on the smaller side even at his full weight, possibly gettin to 45 lbs at max.  Alfie is a typical aussie that LOVES to go for walks, play with sqeaky toys, and play with his foster sibling that is the same age and size.  Once a good play session is over, he will curl up next to his foster momma.  He definitely has a nice off switch.   Alfie would do best with some that is experienced with the herding breed, and has some prior dog handling experience.  He was was WAY to much dog for his prior owner and because of this, he came to us with some undesired behavioral traits which his foster mom has been working on.  She has solicited help of a trainer and he has responded remarkably well.  When arriving in rescue, he had no manners or self control.  He has learned SO MUCH and with his foster mom's help, he is doing amazing at leash walking, not barking at things that frighten him and getting used to lots of different stimuli.  Given this information, Alfie will do best with a home that would continue the training he has been doing, even working with his foster mom on what this looks like.  This is a MUST for his forever home.  We recommend a home with children over 12 years of age.  Off leash, Alfie enjoys meeting and greeting people and other dogs. On leash, Alfie can become unsure of himself so this is an area he will continue to work on.  Alfie enjoys playing with other dogs, so a playful dog and a physically fenced yard would be ideal for Alfie.  If you are looking for a devoted companion, who will curl up with you, go on long walks, runs, or maybe agility, this is your boy!!! Alfie is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, negative for tick borne diseases, microchipped and taking monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworm.  Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.  For more information on our adoption process, please visit our website at 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 ##2152129##

Story
0756 Chicago, now called Sunday, is fostered in Wayland, MI. Hello potential adopters! Introducing our handsome boy Sunday who has been in his foster home since the end of January 2025. He was found as a stray on the streets of Chicago and spent a few days at their shelter.  He was sprung on Sunday, hence his name!  Sunday is a red tri standard male Australian Shepehrd with double blue eyes, a bobtail, and freckles. He has been slimmed down from 67 lbs. to a healthier 60 lbs.  He is estimated to be 2 - 3 years old.   Sunday's ideal home would be with either a single adopter looking for a 4-legged best friend or an active couple. Sunday would do best in a home with no kids or other pets as he loves to have undivided attention!  Sunday does like to guard some of the bowls and doorways, but with verbal corrections, this has greatly improved.  Sunday is a work in progress, as we like to call it.   Sunday has not been a big fan of being held or restrained (flails & thrashes to get away), but with food and practice he is doing better. Sunday's love for food is unmatched and makes training a breeze!  He is a ball enthusiast who would love someone that is willing to join him in fetch sessions. He will give you the ball or drop it on you, so no reaching required!  Sunday also loves car rides, hikes, sniffaris, playtime, and simply being with you. He is ready to go on adventures with you or just hang out on the couch! His intelligence, energy, and playful nature make him a good addition for the right home. For Sunday, the right home would be someone with some herding breed experience and an ability to continue positive reinforcement training to help him build on the wonderful progress his foster home has started.  If you would like to learn more about Sunday and his progress, we would love to chat with you! Click on adopt and get the adoption process started! Sunday 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.  For more information on our adoption process or to complete an adoption application, please visit our website at www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org.

Story
Arthur is fostered in Pontiac MO This handsome boy is Arthur.  He ha been with us since August and he is a 2 - 3 year old male, currently weighing about 60 lbs.and at shoulder 24’ and top of head 33’.  Arthur has already stolen our hearts! This charming fellow was found as a stray around July 4th, where kind neighborhood families fed him while searching for his owners. When he came to us, he was severely matted, but after a some grooming, he looks FANTASTIC.  This boy has the BEST personality.   With a DNA test revealing that he’s 85% Australian Shepherd and 15% Boxer, we affectionately call him an Australian Boxherd. Arthur is a smart boy who knows commands like:  No, Sit, Down,  Shake and he's actually quite impressive.  At his intake vet appointment, it was discovered that Arthur was both ehrlichiosis (from ticks) and is also heartworm positive.  Arthur has gone through the gruesome heartworm treatment.  He will need to remain heartworm prevention for the duration of his life (as any dog should).   Arthur is a playful and affectionate boy who absolutely loves to play ball!  After his heartworm treatment, he is super eager to get back to chasing his favorite toy and enjoying life to the fullest.  This charming pup gets along wonderfully with the 5 resident dogs in his foster home.  He is sticks your side wherever you go. In the kitchen, he’s like a little shadow, alwayscurious about what’s happening—especially when it comes to the oven or dishwasher. You might even catch him with his nose in the cabinets, as his playful nature knows no bounds! Arthur is a tall guy, which means he could be a potential counter surfer, so watch out for any snacks left unattended!  He’s also known to be a paper enthusiast—if there’s paper on the table, it’s fair game for him.  Arthur potty trained and knows basic commands like “sit” and “down.” While he does have some enthusiasm on the leash, he’s learning and improving every day. To help with his eagerness at mealtime, we use a slow feeder bowl, so he can savor his food rather than gobbling it down.   Arthur is not just a beautiful dog with stunning eyes; he’s a friendly, funny, and goofy companion who will bring endless joy to your life. If you’re looking for a best friend who is full of love and laughter, Arthur is your guy! Arthur is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations and receiving monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworms.  He has been medically cleared after heartworm treatment.  Proof of heartworm for any past or current pets must be provided to adopt from our rescue.  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 ##2142296##

Story
Arya is fostered in Henderson, KY Arya is a stunningly beautiful female, blue merle Australian Shepherd.  She is just over a year and spent a large part of her life in a crate. Arya was purchased as a small puppy and her prior owner worked a significant amount of time. Naturally, she started to exhibit some separation issues and so her owner reached out to us for help.  As with any young aussie in her situation, she has a lot of pent up energy and very few manners.  Arya's foster family has been working diligently on manners and a consistent schedule. Arya LOVES to play ball and is now able to channel her energy into playing with her foster dad. Thankfully, Arya is a quick learner and has learned a lot of  things including house manners, basic obedience commands and has even learned to play with toys.  She plays with toys all by herself and can safely be left in the utility room with no problems.   Arya is a really smart girl, who is quck to learn new things.  She LOVES to play fetch and now has a new Jolly Ball. She recently learned how to catch Frisbees and can even entertain herself with toys. Arya is an affectionate pup who loves to be petted and get belly rubs. She has done wonderful for car rides and is good with grooming as well.   Arya is crate trained and potty trained.  Arya is great with other dogs, cats and also loves people of all sizes. Arya would do best with an adopter who is home more often than not and an adopter who would continue her basic training.  Arya 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.  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 ##2372238##

Story
Tolkien is being fostered in Schaumburg IL Introducing Tolkien!  This ADORABLE black tri female Mini American Shepherd (Mini Australian Shepherd) with a tail was born on 1/20/2025.  She and her littermates (The Authors) are settling into the posh life in their foster homes.   Her foster parents report that she is SUCH a good puppy already!  Learning the ropes from the other pups in the home, she is potty training, crate training and is doing AUSSOME at it!  She is already sleeping through the night in her crate.  She will need to stay on a schedule for potty and crate training for continued success. While this cutie is absolutely stunning, please make sure you do your research about Aussies.  They need continued socialization with the world around them, full of strangers and various stimuli to grow up to be well rounded dogs and not guard dogs.   If you have never had an Aussie, Border Collie or a working dog before, we recommend doing a little research before committing to this high energy working breed!  She will need a MINIMUM of 2-3 hours of exercise throughout the day.   Tolkien is a little behind on age appropriate vaccinations because we had no proof of any vaccines before she came in, is microchipped, dewormed and on monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworm.  Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.  For more information on our adoption process, please visit our website at www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org.

Story
Darby is fostered in the Kansas City, MO area.  Meet Darby! Darby is a gentle, almost three-year-old, black tri female Australian Shepherd with the most perfectly soft fur and soulful brown eyes. Darby is just under 3 years old and weighs around 55 lbs, but she doesn’t know it because she thinks she is a lap dog! She will happily curl up in your lap, or on the couch, for snuggles and kisses.  Darby is a true velcro dog, and wants to be by your side all the time! She is soft-spirited and loyal, eager to follow you wherever you may go. In her previous home, her person worked from home and she enjoyed acting as a personal assistant! Her foster parents love bringing her into the office, where she happily relaxes on her bed with a nice chew to work on. When left alone, Darby feels safest in her crate. Darby would prefer an adopter who is home more often than not! Darby is crate-trained (and sleeps in her crate all night without a peep!), house-trained, and will ring a bell to let you know when she needs to go potty. She knows: Sit, Down and Shake and is learning more! She loves to train and training sessions are one of her favorite times of day (second only to naps and cuddles)!  She is a medium energy gal and can easily tackle a good 1-2 mile walk or hike before coming home to relax.  As with any aussie, she will need lots of mental stimulation.    While she’s a social butterfly with her humans, Darby prefers to slowly warm up to strangers, especially during walks. She might voice her opinions with a bark or two, but don’t worry as she's a quick learner and appreciates a gentle redirection. Having tasty treats on hand really boosts her confidence when out walking! Though she takes a few minutes to warm up to new people, her foster mom has been working with her on this and she has been making new friends and learning to trust!  Darby would do best in a quiet home without a lot of traffic, ideally with a physically fenced in yard. Darby gets along famously with her canine foster brother but she does chase cats, so no cats for her. She would prefer a buddy who matches her energy level.  Darby can be a little protective of her food, so feeding, working on chews and enrichment items she prefers in her crate.  Darby would be best in a home with no children under 12 years of age.   Darby’s Needs: A home with a physical fence No cats or little critters and no children under age 12 A forever human dedicated to continuing her training and helping her feel safe, including slow intros to new people, places and other dogs Darby’s Wants: A quieter home environment without much traffic.  All the snuggles in the world! Darby is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccinations and receiving monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworms. Proof of purchase of heartworm preventatives for any prior or current pets is required to adopt from our rescue.  For more information on our adoption process, adoption fees and a link to our adoption application, please visit our website at 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 ##2368520##
