We are very excited to introduce you to this wonderful 3-year-old Australian Shepherd / Blue Heeler mix named Blue. Originating from Texas, Blue is an extremely even-keeled and mellow fellow who loves to be around his people. He has leash training, has been sleeping in a crate overnight with zero issues, uses the doggy door to take himself in/out, and follows basic commands (sit, stay, lay down). He also enjoys riding in cars.
Upon first arriving at our home, it took Blue a few days to get comfortable and show more of his personality; he was a bit reserved and timid at first. He also had a couple instances of accidental marking/urinating inside the house. However, now that he has gotten accustomed to the routines of all the people/animals in the house, he has shown he is very comfortable and that he has good bathroom manners. He plays well with our other dog, greets stranger dogs with a high degree of calm and reserved curiosity, loves to have his big booty scratched by our young kiddos, and cannot figure out for the life of him why our two older cats do not look at his sniffs and desire for affection with fondness.
All around, Blue is a genuinely sweet guy who just wants to love and be loved. His ideal home will be with humans who can give him a decent amount of time every day for attention and for him to be in their presence; he likes to hang out. Having another dog or engaged kids in the home will be beneficial to give him someone to play with. If Blue gets bored, he will dig and try to go adventuring (which he did on his first day with us!), and it has been reported that he can jump fairly tall fences (6ft), although we have not yet seen that. He will need a fully fenced yard.
Blue is a bigger boy, weighing in at 58 lbs. When he gets really excited, he can throw that weight around. He is fully up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. We hope to hear from you soon so we can show you what a darling boy Blue is!

FENDER
Indian Hills, Colorado

Look at this adorable face! Fender is a small Aussie/Cattle Dog mix. He is about 38lbs and 1 to 2 years old. Fender is shy and timid when you first meet him, but he is a super sweet, and lovable guy as soon as he knows you are okay.
It doesn’t appear that Fender got much training in his first house. He may not have even been inside the house much at all. He knows his name and sit, and that is about it. But, he is a smart boy, so he will learn quickly. He is a really playful guy. He loves catch and just playing with the ball.
He is great with kids and other dogs. Although he definitely has herding instincts. When his foster brother runs, Fender wants to herd him by biting his ankle. We don’t know how he’d do with cats but is likely okay. He does walk well on a leash, although he likes to sniff and checkout what is out there. Fender would love a gentle and loving forever home where he can be a part of the family.

WINNIE
Cheyenne WY
Winnie is a sweet 18 month old, 35-ish pound possible Whippet mix. She is definitely a hound of some sort, with the nose and energy level to prove
it. We do not know her history, just that she came from a shelter in Texas as a puppy. She was not socialized well at all when we got her. Winnie just completed a “Mind Your Manners” obedience class which helped immensely with her comfort in social situations. She picked up on her
lessons quickly and her confidence improved with each class and will continue to grow with continued work. At this writing, Winnie is still learning to be around strangers (both dogs and people) but is working through that issue. She will need a family who will be patient and consistent with her socialization and training.
Winnie is house and crate trained, chipped, up-to-date on shots, spayed, ready to go to her forever home. Winnie may be fine around older children, but right now she gives all children a wide berth. She has a high prey drive so a home with small kids, cats or pocket pets may be a
bad idea. She would probably be very happy with another dog in the home although she would probably be too much for a senior dog.

PEPPER
Cody WY
Special Home Needed! This is Pepper! She’s been an adoption fail due to her prey drive! She wants to catch cats and has no tolerance for other dogs. Sounds like a terrible profile, right? She loves humans! She will melt your heart! She needs an owner who can manage a dog who only wants to bond to their human and not get the silly notion she wants to be social with other dogs on leash or off. She’s three years old - spayed - current vacs. She came from a high kill shelter in Texas and was housed with four other big dogs which might explain her quick response to other dogs - perhaps PTSD but she is absolutely amazing with people of all ages and sizes. She is most likely German Shepherd and Belgian Sheepdog.
DASH
Cheyenne WY
Dash is a young Australian Cattle Dog about 2 years old at 30 pounds. We are looking for a very special foster or adopter who can help Dash socialize and learn good experiences with people. When handled he is submissive and shows no aggression.. Dash will need to stay in very close quarters with his human and learn trust. This young boy has tons of potential. He is neutered, fully vetted and house trained. If you can help us with Dash please let us know.

Jack is a 1 to 2 year old aussie/border mix. He is a Sweet boy that has a constant upbeat spirit and wish to share joy. He Loves people and dogs. He will Smile for you on any given occasion, brightening your day. He is quick to learn. He is still puppy like and playful. He is crate trained, and can use doggy door. He is still chewy and quite inquisitive so he needs to have safe space with large kennel for his room and gradual introduction to the rest of the house. He is great in the yard. Loves to play. Jack is high energy and would do well with an active family, and wouldn't mind another young energetic dog to play with. With training he would do well with agility, herding practice, obedience. He would enjoy being running, jogging, walking buddy. He needs time, love, and direction and will respond with his whole heart.
