Daisy and her puppies
Available in March
Portland, OR
Disco
Port Angeles, WA
We’ve been told this little angel is four years old, but she still acts like a puppy! Disco is so silly, playful, petite, and loving! We adore her! She was on the euthanasia list at a high kill shelter in the Midwest, but she doesn’t let that traumatic memory affect her zest for life. She may be small in stature, but she loves with all her heart. Sometimes great things come in small packages, and Disco plays with all the exuberance of a big dog, leaping, and zooming like she’s an agility champion. As far as we know, she has not met a cat, but she’s very friendly with other dogs. She hasn’t met a stranger yet, so if you’re looking for a social butterfly to take on adventures, she might be the gal for you. She is potty trained, crate trained, is very excited to learn new tricks and will do almost anything for food. This little Heeler girl is very people focused and athletic. She would love to share your paddleboard, hike through the wilderness and camp under the stars. She would be just as happy with a large backyard and regular walks on the beach, or participation in dog sport classes. At 35# she is the perfect size for agility, nosework, search and rescue, disc dog, obedience or almost any activity. Disco has already been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Luke
Spokane Valley, WA
Meet Luke! This handsome, happy blue heeler is 5-years old. He is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations. Luke's person was unable to continue to care for him so he was given to the person's parents to look after. If you know anything about blue heelers, they love to be active and busy and present in all daily and nightly activities. It's more than the parents bargained for and they want us to help them find Luke his perfect forever home where he'll be adored and included in life!
Luke loves adventures as you can tell by his pictures. He is house-trained and he gets along with other dogs. He seems to be cat friendly but doesn't currently live with any cats. Luke bonds immediately to his family and like most heelers is a very faithful companion. He is a bit overweight but with an active, engaged owner and fewer treats the pounds will come off easily.
Please consider giving this young man a chance at a new life with lots of fun escapades. He will bring you nothing but joy and love for years to come.

Frosty
Estacada, OR
Meet Frosty! This sweet, resilient boy is looking for a forever home where he can continue his journey of trust and transformation. Frosty was found as a stray on a reservation in Utah, where he spent a long time in the holding pens with little human interaction. But despite his past, he’s showing incredible progress with the help of a dedicated professional dog trainer.
Frosty is a shy and cautious guy, still learning to navigate the world of human kindness, but he’s making strides every day. He’s a sweet soul at heart, just needing patience and understanding to help him fully blossom. With a calm, patient adopter, Frosty is sure to become a loyal companion who thrives on routine, structure, and positive reinforcement.
While Frosty is still getting comfortable with people, he’s incredible with other dogs! He really enjoys their company and feels most at ease when he has a confident canine friend by his side. In fact, he would do best in a home with a confident, well-mannered dog who can help guide him as a mentor and show him the ropes. A quiet, low-stress environment with a dog buddy would be ideal for him to continue growing.
Frosty would thrive in a home with an experienced adopter who can continue his training and help him build confidence. If you’re looking for a dog who needs a second chance and are ready to put in the time to help him become the best version of himself, Frosty might just be the perfect fit for you! Let’s give this soon to be brave boy the love and patience he deserves.
Frosty is still a puppy at about 12 months old. He weighs 35-40 pounds and is vaccinated. He has an appointment to be neutered and will be micro-chipped at the same time.

Echo
Adopted!
Portland, OR
Echo is a unicorn. This gentlemanly 9-year-old Aussie is kennel trained, leash trained, potty trained, super people friendly even with kids (appropriately respectful kids of course), dog friendly, appropriately curious about small animals (neutral about cows), neutered and up to
date on vaccines. And he is incredibly good looking! What more could you want?
As a young senior, Echo is moderately active and enjoys leisurely walks. He enjoys playing an easy game of ball—you gently toss or roll it and he brings it back. Over and over again. He rides well in the car. He has some arthritis (don’t we all) and would prefer a ramp to get up to higher cars but has no problem with standard vehicles. A leg injury in his youth gives him a slight limp in a back leg and his foster home has him on various joint supplements. His future family should be willing and able to do the same to keep him enjoying the many years ahead.
Echo is a full-sized Aussie, in fact he is a bit bigger than most. This lovely fellow is being fostered in Oregon. Meet and greets will only be arranged after references are called and application approved.
Don’t miss the opportunity to bring this lovely dog into your home.

Fay
Adopted!
Portland, OR
You should meet Fay, an 11-month old Great Pyrenees mix girl dog. Why, you ask, should I be interested in this beautiful baby dog? Because she has the SWEETEST temperament of all dogs ever. Really, she does. But you'll have to foster or adopt her to find out for yourself.
Fay is still a baby pyr, even though she looks like a grown dog. Guardian breeds take longer to mature than your average size dog like a border collie or aussie. But guardian breeds are thoughtful and calm for the most part. They prefer to think problems through rather than rush into them headfirst willy nilly. That would be a waste of energy. Besides being very calm, Fay is also gentle as can be. Once again, a trait that guardian breeds must have to be successful; one wouldn't want their pyr to be un-gentle with their flock of sheep and lambs.
Fay adores every dog she meets and is playful as can be. She also loves toys, the more the merrier. She's lovely with people too. So, all around Fay is an almost perfect companion. Almost perfect because she is still a baby and has lots to learn about life, green bins, rain, tricks, and other things a dog needs to know to live in a human world.
Fay is nearly potty trained and is crate trained. She is vaccinated, wormed, and spayed.
Fay was found wandering alone with her younger brother and sister. They were dirty and very hungry. But a kind person contacted Western Australian Shepherd Rescue who agreed to sponsor them all.
If you are interested in fostering or adopting Fay, please fill out the application on our website at:

Jiro
Adoption Pending!
Port Angeles, WA
Jiro, an 8-year-old red merle Aussie boy. If you are a huge fan of Aussies, love a dog to play fetch with, but are not excited about the high energy of a puppy, Jiro may be the perfect match for you. He is a beautiful 8-year-old red Merle who is around 40 pounds. He will play ball all day, to the point of exhaustion (obsessed much???), so his person needs to set boundaries on his intensity and ask him to settle in for a rest from time to time.
Jiro's previous owner developed a severe allergy and was no longer able to physically interact with him. He misses being part of the family and at his age, has earned the right to a perfect retirement with a loving family of his own. He has been a regular at the neighborhood dog park over the years, and as is typical of an Aussie, he likes to bark and boss other dogs a bit but is generally friendly with all sizes.
We don't know how Jiro would be around cats, but he helped raise a few human children and is very trustworthy with respectful kids of any age. Jiro is a well-mannered house dog who pottys outside, can be left home alone without issue, and recently had his vet updates. If you have a fenced yard and room on your bed (or on a dog bed next to the bed), Jiro will pack his bags and move right in.
Jiro is in Port Angeles, WA. He is neutered, micro-chipped, house- and crate-trained, and up to date on vaccinations.
If you are interested in adopting Jiro, please fill out the application on our website at:

Kumo
Portland, OR
Kumo is a 10-year-old blue merle boi. If you’re not a fan of entertaining your dog on a daily basis but enjoy a short game of keep away from time to time, Mr. Kumo is the perfect well-behaved Aussie dog for you.

He’s still quite energetic for his age and has many more years to give his forever person. If you like a dog to just hang out while you garden or kick back on the porch, Kumo will be your ideal sidekick.
