COOKIE'S CRUMBS
Portland, OR
Cookie, an Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler), gave birth to her babies in the shelter in Texas. We are now taking applications for Cookie's Crumbs. Cookie is a beautiful blue heeler and will be available for adoption soon. We do not know who the dad was.
They will be ready to go to forever homes sometime around November 9. We will only schedule meet-n-greets with the puppies after your application has been approved which includes reference checks and a home visit. We will be looking for homes that have a plan for raising their crumb.

TAGALONG
Tagalong is a female and the smallest crumb. She can take care of herself though even when all the others do a puppy pile on top of her. Tagalong likes to hang out in your arms, surveying the world around her.
GINGERSNAP
Gingersnap is a female, and at slightly over 10 pounds on October 11 is the largest crumb. Gingersnap is big in personality, size, and strength. She was the first to use the dog door, the first to climb on top of the hay bale, and the first to figure out how to get on the outdoor chair. She will be easy to teach to do anything you can possibly want to do.
|
MACARON
Macaron is also a female and the middle crumb. She is a feisty little cookie with je ne sais quoi, hence her French name. This is the puppy for you if you want a sports dog, hiking companion, and funny playmate.
S'MORES
S'mores is a male and is often overwhelmed by his female siblings. He is quite easy-going, a bit of a loner, and loves to play, play, play. He is the spitting image of a baby Cookie so will probably look exactly like her when he grows up

SNICKER DOODLESnicker Doodle is a male. He is deaf and partially blind. Snicker Doodle is the love bug of the bunch, a true cuddler, squeaking and grunting as he wraps his little legs around your neck. He is fearless as he roams around his pen, detecting ledges and fences that might trip him up. He
holds his own against his siblings, and loves to play with them. We will only adopt Snicker Doodle to a home that has knowledge of how to care for and teach a blind/deaf dog. We also require a secure, fenced yard for him. |
OZZIE
Portland, OR
|
|
This handsome young aussie male is Ozzie, about 20 months old and weighing in at 44 pounds. In spite of a rocky beginning during his early life that led to being incarcerated at the county shelter before Western Australian Shepherd Rescue took him in, Ozzie is a loving and fun companion. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Ozzie's current owners are relocating and are unable to take him with them. WASR is working with his owners to offer this special opportunity for Ozzie to share his personality and talents with his absolutely last, forever home.
Ozzie is enthusiastic but controlled. He is calm in the house, has been to school (obedience training), and knows many tricks: come, stay, sit, etc. He is very affectionate and loves attention. Ozzie is house- and crate-trained and tells you when he has to go out to potty. He walks well with a harness and is not easily distracted, therefore would be a good running partner. He thrives on, and loves, his daily walks and occasional hikes. He interacts well with other dogs off leash but has a preference for those his own size. He likes to take naps in quiet places. Ozzie rides well in the car, so you can take him on adventures with you. He enjoys toys, stuffed chew bones, and fetch, fetch, fetch. He lives respectfully with a cat, no chasing or barking. Give him food/treats and he will learn anything you can teach. Ozzie enjoys being outside, sitting in the yard and surveying his surroundings. Especially though, Ozzie loves to be with his humans.
Like most rescue dogs, Ozzie has some things he is working on with his owners. He is sensitive to loud traffic noise/heavy equipment and fireworks. His owners are working on desensitization exercises where he walks on quiet streets and then might go onto a busy, noisy street for a bit, then back to the quiet streets, getting treats all the way for positive behavior. Ozzie is working on his leash manners around dogs and people and his people are learning to manage his anxiety with "Leave It' and praise and treats when he doesn't react. He is good at the off-leash
park and seems to like small dogs. Most of the time Ozzie is fine with strangers but needs to meet them on his terms, no pats on the head for this boy until he is sure you are okay.
Ozzie's best forever home will be a quiet environment with adults and/or children over 13 years old who will keep him engaged in his continuing growth and education. Positive training methods and consistency are a must for him. For such a young dog, Ozzie is remarkably resilient and with the right owners will mature into a wonderful furry companion and friend.
Ozzie is located in Portland, OR. His adoption fee is $300.

THOR
Portland, OR
|
|
Thor is a 3-year old blue merle male aussie. He's a big boy at about 75 pounds and a lot of fur! Thor is micro-chipped, up to date on vaccines, and neutered.
Thor has so far gotten along with all dogs he has met at his foster home. He loves to go on long walks and has a good recall. He loves to be petted and is very good in the house. He has the initial aussie cautiousness with new people but once he gets to know you he is very friendly. We don't know about cats but Thor has not shown any interest in squirrels or other small furry animals at his foster home. He is crate-trained and doesn't pull on leash. Thor is cuddle-bug of a dog.
Thor's ideal home will be active and commit to positive, reward-based training methods. Two walks a day is not enough for this smart, active boy, he needs a job. That job could be nosework, agility, games, helping you in the garden, etc., any sort of mindful activity to help Thor use his intellect to figure out problems. Thor will not be placed in a home with children - they can make him anxious and fearful.
If you think Thor might be a good fit for you please fill out an adoption application on our website:
www.westernaustralianshepherdrescue.com.
We will only schedule home visits after an approved application is on file which includes reference checks and a home visit. The adoption fee is $300. Thor is located in Portland, OR.

DIRK
Seattle WA
|
|
Happy, affectionate Dirk is a 4 year old cattle dog who would love a active person/family that will include him and take him on adventures. Great dog for hikes, short runs, long walks and playing fetch and then happy to curl up on the couch or bed for a nap. A home with a fenced yard where he won't be left home alone for long hours would be best.
He needs a dog savvy home that will give him daily exercise, love, attention and reinforce his good behavior.
Dirk is 52 lbs., neutered, microchipped, vaccinated including rabies, has received heartworm treatment and like all dogs needs to remain on heartworm prevention to stay negative.
- Dirk loves to cuddle up with his person/people and wants to be friends with every person he meets.
- Housetrained boy who loves his kong toy and chew bones.
- Knows basic commands 'sit, down and stay'. Currently taking obedience training classes to learn more. Not a fan of the crate, so an adopter that is not gone long hours or one that would be willing to send him to doggie daycare is best.
- Sleeps thru the night in his own dog bed.
- Walks well on leash and working on off leash - doing well so far, but needs a little more work.
- Likes to go for car rides with you, especially if it means going to an outdoor restaurant or pub where he can meet lots of people and get lots of 'pets'.

JUNIPER
Tangent OR
Juniper is a stunningly beautiful 10 year old Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd mix. She can be shy and sensitive, particularly around new people but is also playful, sweet and affectionate with those she trusts. She is up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed and is microchipped. Although she is now ten years old, she is physically sound with many years left to enjoy.
Juniper would do best in a quiet home without any other dogs or young children but could potentially be adopted to a home with cats, as she got along with the cat in her foster home. Despite her breed, Juniper is not a particularly high energy dog, nor is she the kind of dog that enjoys long outings or trips to the park. She instead is content to take a short stroll around the neighborhood or a quick patrol of the property, then will happily join you for a well-deserved nap. Her energy level and general demeanor would make her a great companion for a retired person or couple looking for a loving dog to spend the day with.
Another fun fact about Juniper, is that unlike many dogs, she tends to gravitate more toward men than women. Juniper also has delightful house manners, is crate trained and is potty trained. She enjoys bones and stuffed kongs as well as the occasional toy. Just don’t expect her to fetch! Although typically quiet, she is typically leery of new people and will bark at guests and when someone comes to the door. She even howls when hearing a passing siren, something that never fails to make her foster mom laugh.
Overall Juniper is gem of a dog. She would make a great companion for someone looking for a calm, affectionate dog mostly content to be a homebody. She will require some degree of management when guests come to visit but overall is a wonderful dog. Juniper can’t wait to meet you!

BOLT
COURTESY LISTING FOR OUR FRIENDS AT HUMANE SOCIETY
FOR SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON

Courtesy listing DO NOT contact Western Aussie Rescue
Meet Bolt!
Bolt is a smooth coated Border Collie mix at the Southwest Washington Humane Society in Vancouver WA. He is almost two years old and is an extremely active dog. Bolt needs a home where someone is dedicated to training him and keeping his mind and body busy. He is not a good choice for a first time dog owner. He would make a great dog sports competitor or a super running companion. Like many herding dogs, Bolt is cautious when he first meets a new person. But he warms up quickly with a few treats--after that, you get his full focus. His kind of focus will make him easy to train, quick to learn and a super companion to an adult looking for an intense canine buddy. Bolt will need consistency in his day to day activities and environment. If you are interested in meeting Bolt, contact the Southwest Washington Humane Society directly. WASR volunteers have met Bolt, interacted with him and really, really like this guy!!

ROCKY
DO NOT CONTACT WESTERN AUSSIE RESCUE..WE HAVE NO FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OR THIS DOG
Rocky is a sweet and goofy heeler mix boy who has found himself looking for a new home after one of his owners passed away. Rocky just loves his people; you will be the apple of his eye as long as you’re giving him attention! He will always greet you with many wags of his curly-q tail (which actually spirals round and round). Otherwise, he’d love to curl up at your feet or follow you around the house. Rocky would love to be the only dog in the house as other dogs make him a bit anxious (unless you want to bring home his sister, Shannon, too!) and he should not share a home with any small critters as they are just a little too interesting to him. He is also a pretty quiet guy; he’ll bark if someone comes to the door and is a little wary of strangers in his home, but not at all in an aggressive way. Rocky is around six years old, housetrained, crate trained (and fine left alone for the day), neutered, and up to date in his vaccinations.

SHANNON
DO NOT CONTACT WESTERN AUSSIE RESCUE ...WE HAVE NO FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OR THIS DOG Shannon is a sweet and shy lovebug. This heeler mix found herself looking for a new home after one of her owners passed away. She takes a little while to warm up to new people (particularly men), but will just stay in her own space until she’s ready to come to you. But once she’s decided you’re ok, this girl will be your best friend and come to you for gentle pets while she gazes into your eyes and tries to give you kisses. She would love to have a person (and/or perhaps another dog with the right introductions) who could be around most of the time, but she does very well in a crate when no one’s home. In fact, she LOVES her crate…it’s her favorite place to hang out whether or not you are home. She came into rescue with her brother, Rocky, and we feel they could probably be adopted separately or together. Shannon is pretty quiet, but will sometimes alert bark if she hears a car pull up or something go bump in the night. She walks very nicely on leash and only pulls for really great smells or critters on the run (so no small animals in the house for her). Shannon is housetrained as long as she is given regular potty breaks, around six years old, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations.
