Adopted!

Izzy was adopted 3/27/11!
Izzy, 1 year old black tri mini female. Housebroken, crate trained, microchipped, soon to be spayed. Izzy is a sweet little girl who came from a home where the father was an abusive drunk so she is very fearful of men. She will come around but it takes some patience for a man to gain her trust. She is great with children, dogs and cats & loves to play with all of them. Izzy is a special needs girl because of her previous abuse and will need to be placed in a home without men or men who are understanding of her fear and willing to work slowly with her.

Jack was adopted 4/15/11!

Jack, 3 year old blue merle male, neutered, microchipped, UTD on shots, HW negative, housebroken, crate and leash trained. Jack is a dog that loves life and people. He is an athletic dog that is very bright and loves to learn. He learns very quickly but also gets bored with repetitive, stern training. He likes the lighter side of life and responds better to positive reinforcement. Jack is good with getting a bath & having his nails trimmed. He knows sit, down, get back, crate, off and walks nicely on leash although he does like to sniff all the wonderful trees instead of staying at your left side but then what young dog doesn’t? He has been in a home with another aussie and tends to be more of the dominant one but is not aggressive or mean. He is still very young at heart and would do well in an active home that gives him lots of attention and perhaps a job to do. Jack would be a great candidate for either agility or obedience or anything else that keeps his mind and body busy. He needs to be in a home without cats. Jack was turned into rescue because of his owners failing health.

Scout was adopted 3/21/11!
Scout is a black tri mini-Aussie weighing about 20 pounds.  He will be one in March so he shouldn’t get much bigger, but could stand to gain a couple of pounds.  Scout’s early days have made him timid around new humans as he was in a puppy mill, then adopted and returned, then ended up in a shelter.  All that shuffling around has made him nervous but he’s fitting in nicely in his foster home playing with other dogs.  He is housebroken, crate trained, microchipped, UTD on shots and walks OK on a leash.  We don’t know about cats or kids, but we don’t see any reason he would have problems with either one. He’s experiencing so many new “normal life” things right now, he exhausted by the end of the day and loves to sleep on the bed at your feet.  Scout will need some patience until he can trust you, but after all he has been through, he still loves to be close and deserves a new loving home.

Nikita was adopted 5/28/11!

Nikita is a 2 year old aussie mix, she is housebroken, crate trained, microchipped and up to date on her shots. She was picked up from a shelter shortly before giving birth to her puppies.  Her puppies have found homes and now Nikita is waiting for a home of her own.  She is a delightful girl that gets along great with other dogs, seems to love everyone and is very attentive to the people in her life.  It may take her a moment to warm up, but after that she is all love and joy.  Nikita is still young and will learn the ropes in no time, but needs a little training.   This  beautiful brown eyed girl has waited long enough for a nice comfortable dog bed and a loving home.  Why not consider adding Nikita to your family!

Tempe was adopted 3/21/11!

Private Referrals are listed as a courtesy to other rescues, shelters, and private individuals looking to place a dog. Any adoption resulting from this listing is a matter solely between the lister and potential adopter.

Available to a performance home!

Tempe is 2 years old (born 1/8/2009) and housebroken, crate trained, leash trained, rides in the car quietly, current on heartworm and shots.  She is structurally correct and is conformation quality.  She is exceptionally smart and I think would excel in a performance home.  She would do best in a home as the only dog or with a male as she can try to bully other females.  She is AKC/ASCA registered.  Her granddam is the top producing female for 2008, meaning more of her offspring finished their AKC CH than any other Aussie female.

To learn more about Tempe please contact Kim.

Delta was adopted 3/19/11!
Delta, Nikita’s last girl to leave the nest.  We feel her daddy must have been a boxer because of how she looks.  Delta is a very self confident, sweet puppy who is doing very well on her housebreaking.  She has been around lots and lots of other dogs, cats & people of all sizes and shapes and seems fine with everyone.  She is a cute little girl with one blue eye & one amber eye.  We feel she will be a moderately sized dog at maturity.

Rain, old english sheep dog mix, female, UTD on shots, HW negative, microchipped, housebroken, crate trained, 66 pounds and 3 years old.  Rain was turned into a shelter because her owners were moving and didn’t want to take her.  It was truly their loss because this girl is an angel!  Rain loves people, if very affectionate and travels wonderfully.  She has been around a 4 year old well behaved child and was fine.  Rain gets along fine with other dogs, but we occasionally see her getting a little nervous and she would do better without a dominant dog in the family.  She has several old scars on her face & one of her ears has been torn, so we assume that she must have lived with an aggressive dog or dogs at one time and was bullied.  Because we can’t find anything wrong with her & think some lucky family will think she’s perfect also!  And yes, she does have one amber eye and one blue eye – she is quite unique and totally beautiful.  We found that Rain can jump fences, so she needs a 6 foot fence.  Cats are not a good idea for Rain, as she found the love of chase!  This beautiful, loving, sweet, wonderful girl deserves a great new family.  Are you that great new family!

Rudy was adopted 3/5/11!

Rudy, 3 to 5 year old sheltie/golden mix (our guess) – neutered, utd on shots, HW negative. housebroken, crate trained (but doesn’t need to be in a crate).  Rudy found himself in animal control in pretty rough shape.  We have no idea how such a nice boy ended up homeless!!  He is only 35 lbs (grossly underweight so he should weigh around 40) and absolutely obedient!  You can tell him to go lay down on his bed from across the room and he does – he HAD to have been someone’s dog – he just knows too much not to have been.  He is wonderful with other dogs and children. Rudy, Rudy fresh & fruity – when his foster mom says that to him he thinks it’s a game and starts prancing around and jumping up to play.  He knows sit, shake and will also entertain himself by playing with toys.  Rudy may not be an aussie but he is certainly a nice boy that would make a wonderful pet for anyone.
Update: Spring Training has started, and the first player at the plate is…….Rudy!  Rudy is not holding out for millions.  Noooooo, he just wants a pat on his head and the occasional “Good Boy”!  He races to the outfield to get the ball and speeds back to home plate, where he drops the ball at the ump’s feet.

Rescue dog – $225

Tennis ball – $1.95

Fun on a sunny afternoon – Priceless!

Desmond was adopted 2/6/11!
Desmond – 2.5 year old aussie mix, UTD on shots, HW negative, crate trained, housebroken.  We placed Desmond a year ago with a wonderful couple who also had a Jack Russell Terrier & 2 chihuahua mixes.  Desmond was a wonderful dog for them – very athletic, friendly & loving BUT the Jack Russell never accepted him as part of their “pack”.  Desmond’s owners made the difficult decision to return him to us because they knew that the older J.R. terrier would have a very difficult time finding a new home. 
 
Desmond has transitioned into his foster home without missing a step.  He adores his foster father – loves his foster mom but seems to be a man’s dog.  He is great with the other 3 dogs & is always ready to go.  Desmond even comes with his own back pack – so if you are looking for a jogging or hiking partner that is in great condition & able to keep up with whatever you could want – please consider this intelligent, loving boy!
