Thank you to everyone who donated to help Luna run like the wind again. She had her surgery in mid-March and has been a real trooper in her recovery. Imagine being a smarter than average Aussie dog, who loves to run and play like a little whirling dervish, and you can't! Luna's foster homes have been strict about limiting her activities so her knee heals completely and well. Her surgeon and veterinary team are pleased with her progress so far.
Luna has about 5 more weeks of forced "bed" rest and once she receives her walking papers from the surgeon we will be looking for a forever home for her. Even with the surgery, Luna is probably not a candidate for long jogs or running, non-stop ball or toy playing, or 10-mile hikes. But she's definitely in for doggy games, shorter hikes, walks in the neighborhood, beach time, hanging out, napping, and as many toys as you care to give her.
Luna, a beautiful red-tri Aussie girl, is about 3-years old and sweet as pie. She loves her people, other dogs, walks, car rides, toys, and treats! This little girl is really special. She is loving, smart, and wants to please. Luna is in the care of Western Australian Shepherd Rescue. We are a small, volunteer run 501(c)3 dog rescue organization that helps herding breeds find new forever homes. We've been known to help other breeds too: Chihuahuas, terriers, hounds, and so on. The rescue is funded through personal donations, yard sales, other fund raisers, and dog adoption fees.
We raised about $1500 for Luna's surgery and we thank everyone who helped out. The surgery costs were about $2500. If you would like to continue helping to pay for Luna's surgery we have several options:

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true,
to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

The goal of Western Australian Shepherd is to help place Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Australian Cattle Dogs and other herding breeds in loving, permanent homes or service careers. Western Australian Shepherd Rescue does not place dogs for any breeding purposes what so ever. Western Australian Shepherd Rescue will not place dogs for any kind of guard duty. Dogs are placed in carefully screened homes through the use of specific rules and procedures. We are a small group of dedicated volunteers that put our hearts, souls and spare time into finding forever homes for Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Australian Cattle Dogs and other herding breeds. Some of us compete in dog sports like agility, obedience, rally, conformation and herding with our Aussies. While others of us simply love the breed and enjoy helping them. We all feel a responsibility to help these dogs. We are completely foster based, meaning all of our dogs stay in one of our volunteer's home until a forever home is found. Western Aussie Rescue fosters and places dogs in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, Utah, North and South Dakota, New Mexico as well as Colorado. We have relationships with many shelters, and rescue dogs from the Southeast, Midwest, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico along with all the states where we have volunteers.
