Maddy was adopted 6/3/10!
Maddy – 2 year old aussie mix, spayed, UTD on shots, HW negative, crate trained, housebroken. Maddy is a sweet little 26 lb aussie mix who was picked up as a stray. We think someone must have dumped her because she is not a dog that ever wanders away from her foster parents side. She is extremely fond of playing with toys and is quite cute in her antics. Maddy also loves to play with other dogs. It is unknown how she is with cats and small children. Maddy has a beautiful silky coat and the pictures do not do her justice. She is a delightful little girl who would love to have a family of her own.
Rossi was adopted 6/20/10!
Rossi – 18 month old red tri male – neutered, UTD on shots, HW negative, housebroken, crate trained. Rossi lives to play with toys and other dogs. He is just as happy being cuddled and petted. Rossi is learning how to walk nicely on lead and he will need a secure yard since he was found as a stray. He does listen very well and seems to enjoy the interaction with family members when they are training him. Rossi has lots of energy and will need an active home that would include him in their activities. He is OK with the inside cats but does show interest in them and would probably be better in a home without cats. Rossi is quite the clown and keeps his foster family entertained with his antics.
Ava was adopted 6/4/10!
Ava – 18 month old red tri female – spayed, UTD on shots, HW negative, housebroken, crate trained. Ava is a very social girl who loves playing with other dogs. She also enjoys being cuddled and especially loves to give kisses to her foster family. She is learning how to walk nicely on lead and enjoys playing with toys. Ava is a typical aussie with lots of energy and was turned over to rescue because she chased cattle and killed a rooster (although her foster mom insists the rooster must have been asking for it!). She is OK with the inside cats but does show interest in them and would probably be better in a home without cats. Ava’s beautiful coat is a little sunburned right now, but with a little attention and some good nutrition we think she will be a real beauty in no time.
Goldie was adopted 8/5/10!
Goldie has moved on to a different rescue in IL. She is still looking for that perfect home. Goldie, 2 old red merle, spayed, UTD on shots, HW negative, microchipped, crate trained, housebroken. It is quite possible with markings that she could be mixed with a spaniel. Goldie is a typical enthusiastic, energetic velcro aussie. She is reserved at first with people she doesn’t know but a little sweet talk and a treat quickly wins her over. She is very quiet and good in her crate. She loves other dogs but sometimes can play a little rough – she is OK with dog savvy cats, but likes to chase them. Goldie loves to run outside and keep busy but she also settles down nicely once inside and her favorite place to nap is laying next to her foster mom. She waits at the door before going outside and walks well on leash. Goldie is a little thin right now but her optimum weight would be around 40 lbs.
Here is Geo’s family. The furry ones that bark anyway. We’ve had Geo for 6 yrs now and he is now 8 yrs old. But he and Cruiser haven’t slowed down much. Geo is currently being treated for an infection in his spine. Danged if he hasn’t figured out every one of our ploys to get him to take his pills. Sparky, his red merle brother, is now in remission from pemphigus foliacious. To catch all 4 laying down together at the sAme time was amazing. Geo is still “my boy”.
Chloe was adopted 6/3/10!
Chloe – 1 year old spayed, housebroken, microchipped, UTD on shots, HW negative female. She is an alpha dog. She can be very dominant with other dogs and is into Aussie slams. She would be the happiest as an only dog. She is sweet and loyal and eager to please her master. She knows sit, lay down, and stays when she feels like it. Chloe will not dart out of doors and has a hard time waiting. She is crate trained and never had a potty accident, she weighs 41 lbs. She is great on a leash and loves walks!!! She is very vocal and so if there are people walking by she will have something to say to them. Chloe is used to being in a large fenced yard. She is trained to not get on furniture but would like to get on furniture it’s just never been allowed. She loves to be cuddled and loved. It is important to note that Chloe is very agile. She would be a wonderful agility dog. However, this means she jumps a lot. She can jump as high as my head and I am 5′9.
Toby was adopted 4/3/10!
Toby is a 2 year old black & white tri, mini Aussie (31 pounds) that is up to date on his shots, neutered, microchipped and housebroken. He loves to play fetch with a ball, squeaky toy or frisbee. This smart boy already knows sit and down and is waiting for you to teach him some more commands. Toby is crate trained and loves to sleep in the bed with you. Do you have a little extra space for Toby?
Hello wonderful ladies,
I had to let our beautiful boy go to the Rainbow Bridge to wait for us today. He developed a lump between his eyes a couple weeks ago. We tried antibiotics, hoping it was a bone infection, but 9 days later, and larger, he went in for xrays. When the vet xrayed and saw abnormality, she opened it. There was no bone under the lump – cancer was eating it away, she said the hole was as big around as her finger. The kindest thing to do was to just let him continue to fall asleep…
Since his journey to me was so scripted (me having to put my other deaf dog down and Syd showing up on the webpage the same day), keep your heart open for his return through you guys… he might do this trip again in a different body because I do think he enjoyed this life completely! I hope so anyway… I was nowhere near ready to have him leave yet….
Say a prayer for him to find us when it is our time, and hug your babies hard.
Missing him more than I can describe.
Rebecca
Leana,
Sissi
This gorgeous 5 year blue merle female with one blue eye, is looking for a home to call her own. She lost her first home to a move and her second because her elderly dad had to go into nursing care. She is UTD on shots, house trained, walks wonderfully on the leash and only took a day to learn to go in her crate, something she’d not done before. Though she gets along OK with other dogs, Sissi hasn’t learned to play like other dogs. The playful ones bring out her herding instinct and she feels the need to put them back in place. So she would do best in a home where she is the only dog or her dog companion is more mellow. Cats are OK too if they don’t run, if they do she’s ready for the chase. Her favorite things to do are snuggle with people and eat. Sissi loves car rides and is your typical velcro aussie that would do great as member of a family. The more attention the better!
