Jessie has been with us for just about a year now. She lives with myself and my husband and our four children. She is so loveable and protective. She loves to snuggle, play tug of war, chase the kids around the yard. Jessie has gotten over her fear of men and is very well behaved. She is like one of the kids, can’t imagine what life was like without her. She loves to go for rides in the car and play peek a boo around the couch. She does suffer from hip dysplasia but that doesn’t slow her down on bit. We are so thankfull for Aussie Rescue for helping us find Jessie. Thank You.
Brownie was adopted 12/13/10!
Brownie, 1 year old neutered red tri male, UTD on shots, HW negative, housebroken, crate trained. Brownie was removed from his first owner – an 85 year old woman – because the state deemed her “crazy”. I’m not sure exactly what that means but Brownie is terribly overweight and didn’t know many manners. He has progressed quickly in his foster home and we are working on his weight. His coat is in rough condition & sun bleached but we can tell that once it has recovered it will be a beautiful mahogany color. Brownie’s foster mom is doing a great job teaching Brownie acceptable behavior. He loves everyone including the pre-teen daughter but still likes to put his mouth on the daughter as if to lead her around. He does NOT bite or nip, just gently puts his muzzle around her wrist or ankle as if to “guide” her to where he thinks they are going. He tolerates the cat but would not be trustworthy alone with cats so we prefer to place him in a home minus cats. Brownie is still puppy at heart and a bit of a clown. He’s a very nice boy who needs to be in a home with someone who has dog smarts and is the leader.
11/9/10 Update: Brownie is doing wonderfully in his quest to regain a waist – he is now at the perfect weight. We wanted to take some updated pictures but his coat is still so sun bleached that he looks like someone got carried away with highlights! Hopefully in a month or so after his fall shed we will have new pictures showing off his beautiful new hair in a beautiful shade of mahogany. Brownie is a high energy dog that will need someone who knows Aussies and wants a dog that thrives on interacting with them. He would make an awesome agility dog or running partner. He remains a sweet boy without a mean bone in his body & has yet to find someone he doesn’t love. He is a perfect gentleman in his crate & settles down quietly.

Kash was adopted 9/27/10!
Kash is a beautiful 2 year old aussie mix (possibly). He is neutered, heartworm negative, micro chipped and has had all his shots. He is crated trained and house broken. Kash loves to walk and is good on the leash. He is great with other dogs and does not mind that the cats have the run of the house. He is extremely gentle and loves to spend time close to the family, on or near your lap. Kash will put his hands on the counter to be closer to you but will not take anything, food or otherwise, off the counter. Although he can do stairs and will follow you up and/or he prefers to stay on the main level of the house.
Doug and I wanted to let Aussie Rescue know how well Chelsi is doing. We adopted Chelsi in January 2010, and we won’t lie it was a bit tough in the beginning. Chelsi was very shy and timid, and we were used to our bubbly outgoing Aussie, Merlin. After lots of love, praise,and advice from Kay, Chelsi gained quite a bit of confidence and now loves to be in a social atmosphere. She is a bit of mama’s girl and follows me around the house when I am home. Chelsi especially loves walks, car rides, playing with her brother Merlin, and going to Queeny Park. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog and can’t imagine our lives without her. Even Merlin feels this way!

Caesar was adopted 9/21/10!
Caesar – 2 to 3 year old blue merle male, UTD on shots, HW negative, housebroken, crate-trained. These pictures do not do justice to this handsome young boy – his coat is recovering from poor nutrition and a month stay at animal control – but give him 6 months of TLC & he will be a show stopper! He’s a really good boy – great with other dogs and cats. We don’t know about children but have no reason to believe he would not be good with well behaved older children. Caesar has a medium energy level – loves to run outside but settles down quietly once in the house. He is really friendly and has yet to meet a stranger. He has an excellent recall and sleeps on the floor next to his foster parents bed.
