Shadow
Portland, OR

|
This handsome young boy Aussie dog is Shadow, 40 pounds of pure love and
exuberance. Shadow will be one year old in April 2021. He is up to date
on vaccinations including rabies, is micro-chipped, and will be neutered
soon. Shadow is a typical Australian shepherd puppy. Full of himself,
active and playful, laser focused on his people, agile and very fast. He
is learning about toys and balls, loves to run and play with his foster
sister, and is interested in the resident cat. We think he could learn
to get along with cats as he appears to be more interested than aggressive.
He is a work in progress on crate training, being left alone, and
jumping up. He is pretty well house trained but as with all puppies and
new dogs a routine for bathroom breaks will ensure he doesn't have any
accidents. He really wants to be with his people and will cry and whine
if he knows they are home and he isn't with them. The changes in his
life have made him somewhat anxious but if asked to perform his tricks
that seems to help his confidence. He has lived with a toddler but
because of his exuberance and jumping behavior we think his new family
will be child-free or children over 10 years.
Shadow will be placed in a home with a fenced yard, someone who is home
most of the time, and uses only positive reinforcement training. His
perfect home could have a nice, dog-friendly companion to play with. We
would love to adopt him to someone who wants to do agility or nosework
or some other dog sport.
Shadow is located in Portland, OR. His adoption fee is $350. We will
only schedule meet n greets after an approved application has been
received and vetted, including reference checks and a home visit. You
may fill out the application here:

Callie
We are no longer accepting applications for Callie
Portland, OR
|

Are you looking for an affectionate, inquisitive companion? Look no further than
3-year-old Callie! Her favorite thing is to weave between your legs for pets and
scratches and she will follow you around endlessly to stay close. She also loves to
curl up with you on the couch.
If you are working at home, she can entertain herself with a chew toy or naps all
day. She may carry your shoe around but is not destructive. She wants to go
everywhere you go—and loves car rides to get there --but can also be a happy
home-buddy. She is shy at first when first meeting new people but does not last
long.
She is fine around children, though perhaps older ones are preferred due to her
size (about 50 pounds) and exuberance (she tends to nibble when she’s happy,
which we are working on with success). She is also fine with cats and enjoys other
dogs. She loves walks and does pretty well on her leash - pulling sometimes, but
we are working on that with some success. She rarely barks, except for the
occasional protective bark at home.
Being a Texas girl, she’s not fond of the snow, much preferring to curl up by the
fire.
Callie came to us as “light” heartworm positive and is completing her heartworm
treatment. Prospective adopters need to commit to giving her a simple, chewable
heart worm preventative one a month. WASR will provide several months’ worth
of preventative to an adopter.
Callie is fostered in the Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA area. If you are interested in
meeting Callie, will out an application from this website. There will be no meet
and greets with Callie without an application. In addition to Callie's adoption fee of
$300 there is a transport fee of $175 the rescues cost to bring her to the PNW.

DeDe
Emmett, Idaho

DeDe's family has asked for our help in finding her a new home. Her elderly mom had to go into a nursing home and sadly was not allowed to bring DeDe. She is a 9 year old Pug Chihuahua mix who is a wonderful companion with a great personality. She would probably be better as an only dog but has done well around large dogs as you can see. DeDe is housetrained and loves going outdoors to explore. If you would like to welcome DeDe home please email amytimony@gmail.com.
Luna
Port Angeles, WA
Adoption Pending

Luna is a beautiful, 4 year old, 35-pound cattle dog/Aussie shepherd mix. She loves to play fetch with a ball as long as your arm holds out, and she loves all sorts of toys, although she will cheerfully disembowel stuffed animals. Luna is respectful of non-food human possessions in her foster home, but she has been known to steal and shred tissues and paper napkins. She is a dedicated counter surfer, always on the lookout for an unsupervised snack. She enjoys walks, but (like most dogs) could use additional training on her leash manners. Luna is house trained, but she doesn’t cue you when she needs to go, so regular potty breaks or a dog door is wise to prevent occasional accidents. She is crate trained and sleeps through the night quietly in her closed crate. She will rest easily in her crate with treats or stuffed Kong when you are away from home occasionally. However, we feel that Luna should not be left alone for long hours on a routine basis. Luna is a good burglar alarm and will bark to let you know someone is walking by the house.
Luna does not take easily to new people, new environments, or change in general. She is uncomfortable with noises and startles easily, and she doesn’t much care for being in the rain. She will require the patience and understanding of a savvy adopter who is experienced with fearful dogs. Her successful introduction to a new home will be slow and rely upon the experienced adopter allowing her space and time to acclimate on her own terms. Due to her fear reactions and prey drive, Luna will absolutely not be adopted into a home with children, cats, or small animals of any sort. Only calm, quiet homes with securely fenced yards will be considered. Luna currently lives with a very mellow male Aussie, and after a couple of awkward weeks getting used to and learning to trust him, Luna is now eager to play chase with her foster brother. She would not get along with a more dominant dog. Luna loves food. She takes treats softly, but she jealously guards her food bowl, so it is best that she is allowed to eat without interruptions.
Once Luna has settled into your home, she is a loving, playful girl who seeks pets and rubs and sweet talk. She will gently nibble at your hand or sleeve to get your attention, and she will be grateful for your love every day. If you have experience with fearful dogs and will open your heart and home to this lovely girl, she will be your faithful and loving companion for years to come.
Luna is located on the Olympic Peninsula. Her adoption fee is $350.
