AMY
Portland, OR

|
Amy is a super sweet 9-year old female aussie. Her people had to go into assisted living and they couldn't take Amy and her sister Blondie, who has been adopted. Amy's fur coat was so matted she had to be shaved but it is growing back quickly and will be gorgeous when it is in full furry glory. One positive about the shaved coat, you can tell this lovely girl has no skin issues. Amy has the prettiest face with her dark eyeliner and cheery smile. She is overweight but is taking long walks at her foster home and has already lost some weight. She loves to go for walks, climb on the couch for naps, and get under your feet while you're sitting in your chair. Amy is very affectionate. She will push you with her nose to begin the petting, and if you stop you will get a paw stroke.
Amy has so far gotten along with all dogs she has met, mostly ignores them. With her sweet nature we believe she would do okay with respectful
children. We don't know about cats or other small furry animals. Amy won't be a super active companion but if you are looking for a buddy to
keep you company on your strolls, in the car on errands, and under your feet while you watch television or work on the computer Amy is up for
all that.
Amy is spayed and has had her vaccines. She is not micro-chipped so you will need to do that. She is house-trained. She is located in the
Portland, OR area. Her adoption fee is $300.

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!

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.
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.

BINDI
Waiting in Texas for a forever home in the PNW
BINDI is a happy, healthy 2.5 yr old Catahoula/Australian Cattle dog mix looking for a forever family to love.
She has a precious demeanor and loves all people. She would sit with you on the sofa all day if you let her.
When she’s not sitting with you she is incredibly playful, full of energy and would make a great running and hiking partner.
Bindi has been lovingly fostered. Her foster mom understands that she gets overly excited when around other dogs, but that its not aggression.
She is a very vocal when she plays, which makes other dogs and owners feel a bit intimidated by her.
A strong girl who plays rough and expects all dogs to be as excited about playing as she is.
She has made great strides in her training.
The right home for Bindi would be a patient owner who understands dog behavior, especially high energy vocal behavior.
A strong owner who helps her continue to learn being confident around other dogs. She is dog friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs, just needs proper introductions.
Kids over eight because she’s so powerful that she could knock over a small child. This is a cattle dog who is very excited about life.
Bindi needs an owner who sets boundaries and has her display obedience by actions such as sitting and staying before going in or out of a door and before eating.
She likes her maze feeding bowl to slow her down. Always happy to eat! She would be a really good choice for agility training or as a running partner.
100% house trained and crate trained.
Not destructive in any way in the house, even shoes have been safe. Loves toys, bones and tug of war.
She needs open space to run and play, but does not like to be outside alone because she wants to be with her people family.
Walks well with the Gentle Leader and Dog Training leash, but she is very powerful and needs someone to be aware of her strength.
She does not need loud correction because it scares her, she takes appropriate correction well when on lead and walking around other dogs or waiting for her appointment in the vet lobby.
Not a big barker, but will bark if she hears something that is not a normal noise.
Bindi is a healthy girl and takes Apoquel for seasonal allergies. (might not be needed in the PNW)
She likes a seafood, non-grain diet to keep her skin free of rashes. Teeth are in perfect shape.
Bindi is happy and young spirited. She deserves a forever family who wants to spend time with her to help her continue to grow in confidence and manners with other dogs, and to simply love her. Look at her beautiful face and coloring!! Truly a stunning gal and she’s ready to meet you!
She has not been cat tested, but probably best to be in a home without cats.
Spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, heartworm negative and on preventative.
*In addition to her adoption fee, there is a $150 transport fee
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!!

Here is what the owner says about Lilly: .Lilly is great about riding in the car. The only time she has been in a kennel is in the car. She sometimes sits on the front seat or up high on a glovebox right next to me looking happily onward. She lets be bath her freely (warm water in the tub, pull down shower head) and doesn't put up a fuss. I've never used a crate with her. Lily is great about getting in her kennel in the SUV, stands still while I put her harness on, doesn't try to run out the door when I leave the house when I know she wants to go with me, she just looks at me like "How, how could you leave me at home?"

BABY
Port Angeles WA
Courtesy listing WE HAVE NO FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE OF THIS DOG
Baby is 7 years young and one of the silliest, sweetest girls around! She is house trained and crate trained, loves Netflix marathons, car rides, chasing birds on the beach, and terrorizing squeak toys. Her owner died last Christmas and she has been waiting for her next soul mate ever since. She is spayed and current on vaccines. She has been around kids but we would recommend older, dog savvy kids due to her playful nature. She has shown some reactivity to small animals, so no cats! May be able to live with another dog with careful introduction.

MADDIE
Dallas TX
Do you like unconditional love, affection, going for long walks and cuddling?
Maddie is a very happy, beautiful, smart 2 year old Texas Border Collie mix who is looking for a human companion of her own to love, with no other pets to share the attention.
She is very affectionate and will give you kisses, lots and lots of kisses.
Maddie loves to go for walks, play in the yard and cuddle up on the couch with you for a movie.
A home with previous dog experience and the ability to be the pack leader/alpha would be best for this loyal girl.
Maddie knows basic commands like 'sit and crate' - she will willingly go into her crate if told.
She is house trained and walks well on leash.
Maddie would be happy to sleep in bed with you or at least in your room.
Pretty good inside house manners, although she would love to eat your shoes if you let her.
She is not a big barker, but will alert you to someone outside your home (a great theft deterrent). Maddie will keep your home safe from bad guys.
While she is good with children, she doesn't know her size and can knock over small children so we recommend a home with older children, if any.
Maddie is dog selective and not fond of cats.
Maddie is 60 lbs, spayed, up to date on all vaccines, heart worm negative and on preventative.
Please only inquire if you live in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area.
Her foster mom Linn, would love to answer any questions you might have about Maddie.

ROCKY & SHANNON
Portland OR
COURTESY LISTING
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. Contact Carrie connellpetrescue@gmail.com |

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.
