Beau
Port Angeles, WA
|
|
Beau is a young, active Aussie with legs for days and springs in his feet! He’s had very little training so will need an owner committed to starting from scratch. He’s very food and ball motivated so would make an excellent sport prospect, detection partner or just an active hiking/biking/walking companion. He is crate trained and potty trained but needs some work on his house manners. He rides well on the car but is a bit rowdy on leash still. He has been exposed to other dogs and cats but can play pretty ruff.
He’s 1 yr old, neutered, vaccinated and heartworm negative. Located in Port Angeles, WA.

Roscoe

Meet Roscoe!
Due to the intense and increasing medical needs of their child, Rosco’s loving family needs to rehome him. Western Australian Shepherd Rescue is helping—we will prescreen all applications for Roscoe. Serious interest only, an application must be on file. Here’s what Roscoe’s family says about him:
Roscoe needs a confident & knowledgeable Australian Shepherd owner and preferably an owner that is familiar with seizure disorders in dogs. He's a super sweet, affectionate and fun guy. Roscoe is a typical young Aussie: high energy, a bit head strong, extreme intelligence, affectionate, definitely a working dog. We hope to find him an active, compassionate and loving home with a securely fenced yard or some acreage for him to roam. No apartments please. Read further to learn more about Roscoe P. Coltrane.
Roscoe began having seizures in October of 2020 a few months after his 1st birthday which is the Fourth of July. He is currently on two 64.8 mg tabs of Phenobarbital twice daily and two 100 mg capsules of Zonisamide also twice daily. He is currently unneutered as he needs to have 3 months without a seizure to safely do this. His fantastic vet Dr. Tony feels that once he is able to be neutered the medications can hopefully be decreased.
Because Roscoe has herding drive, a home without younger children will be best. His general demeanor is overall friendly and silly but like any young dogs, he has moments of uncertainty too. He is affectionate and excited to spend time with adults and thinks he’s a lap dog. He loves to get out to explore and play. He doesn't have the best manners and may jump up still. Roscoe doesn't pull on a leash and could be incredibly well mannered with a little more training and patience.
We have tried very hard to give him a loving home. However, we have a daughter with Rett Syndrome that requires 24/7 care, as well as, two other young children. When we got Roscoe at 3 months old, our daughter was in a much healthier space and because of the many medical changes (for her and him) in a short period of time we need to find this incredible guy a forever home sooner rather than later. Roscoe is not getting the life he deserves with our family and needs to be with an owner/s that can provide more attention in an atmosphere where he can be a number one priority. He’s a sweet boy and really needs more than our family is able to provide.
Roscoe does well with our seven-year-old female yellow lab but can play a little rough at times. He doesn’t have much exposure with cats, but doesn’t seem bothered by our neighbor’s cats that frequently peruse our fences. He’s housebroken and a very loving boy. He loves to follow you around everywhere and lay at your feet. He has shown that other dogs may make him a little uncomfortable as he does growl when he sees them; primarily other male dogs. We think he would do best as the only dog in the home or maybe a nice female dog and no young children. Roscoe is located in Bend, Oregon.

Barrel
Waiting in Taxes to come to the PNW

Barrel is a super affectionate 2 year old Blue Heeler mix looking for a home where he will get lots of love, attention and walks.
Amazingly sweet boy with a good medium energy level who will be a great companion and family member.
Loves to go on walks, hikes and happy to lay on the floor near you for hours while you work.
With his love of all humans and dogs, Barrel would be a good dog to take to work.
Enjoys belly rubs, head scratches, cuddling on the couch and getting praised.
Housetrained and crate trained, but still a little uncomfortable if crated and left alone. (ok if another dog is there though)
Dog friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs. Happy, calm, mellow play style.
His nubby tail will wag with joy, making his whole body wiggle when he's happy.
Child friendly. We are recommending respectful children over 7.
Walks great on leash - no pulling and does not react to squirrels, cats or other dogs passing.
Very treat motivated and learning basic commands.
Working on not counter surfing.
Quickly learned to use the doggie door and enjoys going outside in a fenced yard to explore and lounge.
Will nibble on shoes if left out, but capable of learning to leave them alone.
Sleeps through the night.
Good car rider, just needs to be tethered so he doesn't join you in the front seat.
Loud, sudden noises still startle him, but he is getting more comfortable in that area.
Not a big barker.
Cats are unknown, but he has not reacted to them on walks.
Only homes with a fenced yard where he won't be left alone for long hours will be considered.
Barrel is 57 lbs. neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, heartworm negative and current on prevention.
*In addition to his adoption fee, there is a $175 to bring this great boy to you in the PNW.

Jenny
Vancouver, WA
|
|
Jenny is beautiful two-year-old cattle dog mix—possibly mixed with kelpie. With highly unusual coloring and markings and golden eyes, Jenny is a striking dog. She is on the small side when it comes to stature but weighs in at about 40 pounds. Jenny is spayed and up to date on all vaccines.
Jenny came to WASR from a sad shelter in Texas where she was on the euthanasia list due to her bad heartworm status and extreme shyness. She has been successfully treated for heartworm and is a much happier girl now.
Jenny makes friends slowly, but when she connects with you her tail never stops wagging. She is a loyal companion always staying near her friends. She is no cuddle-bug, preferring to be nearby, ready for belly rubs and chest scratches but she is not into hugging or snuggling on your lap. She knows basic commands, is very responsive to her name, likes car rides once she is settled in her crate. She does very well when left alone in the house while you work.
Jenny will need a very patient person who is willing to take the time to make friends with her. She would be happiest in an adult home but older and understanding children would be fine. She would prefer a fenced yard, but it does not have to be a big yard. She is not a dog park type of dog and would prefer to have her own yard rather than leash walks.
Jenny’s adopter must commit to keeping her on her monthly heartworm preventative, several months’ worth of preventative will be provided for her upon adoption.
Jenny is located in the Vancouver, WA area. Her adoption fee is $450 which includes the transport fee from Texas. We schedule meet n greets with Jenny only after an approved application including reference checks and a home visit. You may find our application online at: https://www.westernaustralianshepherdrescue.com/adoption-application.html.

AC
Portland, OR
This handsome, and somewhat debonair, small boy puppy is AC cause he's one cool customer. AC is about 14 weeks old and weighs slightly over 20 pounds. He has had his second set of vaccines including rabies, has been wormed, and is ready to go. AC loves to sit on the outdoor chairs, surveying his kingdom from his elevated perch. He also likes to move "his" chairs to other places on the patio to get a different view of his kingdom. He likes to drag his sleeping mat outside, putting it as a tripping hazard in front of the door along with all his toys and balls. At various times of the day he develops puppy zoomies and races around the yard with a favorite toy. He walks well on a leash, is learning sit, and prefers to go outside to do his business. He is not house-trained though so will need help with learning that skill.
All in all, AC is a character with a ton of personality and love, just waiting for his forever home. We adopt to loving families who use only positive training methods. A fenced yard will be a requirement for AC because he loves to be outside. To be considered to adopt AC we require a completed application which includes reference checks and a home visit. AC's adoption fee is $450 which includes a $150 transport fee. You may find our application online at https://www.westernaustralianshepherdrescue.com/adoption-application.html.

Chloe
Adoption Pending
Port Angeles, WA

Chloe is a one year old high energy Border Collie who’s had a ruff start in life. She’s crate trained, potty trained and enjoys going for car rides. She is super affectionate and playful but needs an outlet for her energy. She’s not been socialized with other dogs or cats but has been great around children. She has had almost no formal training. Her previous owners impulse purchased her without realizing the needs of a Border Collie. She is excited to join the work force, learn some structure and come down off her Border Collie Buzz.
Blue (Heeler)
Waiting in Texas to come to the PNW
|
|
Blue is the classic blue heeler. He is a very intelligent, happy and loyal boy. We believe Blue is about four years old. His life has been pretty rough to this point. He is missing some teeth and does have an old wound where his back leg healed crooked after a break. It does not seem to slow him down much though. The doctor says he will be just fine. Blue is great on a leash and happy to go into a crate whenever needed. He is not much of a barker or a whiner and seems pretty content just laying at your feet. He is a medium size & energy boy and I would recommend a medium activity life for him because of his injured leg. This boy still has a lot of life and love to give to the right person. Currently in a foster home in TX & hoping to move north soon.

Copper & Caper
Adoption Pending
Port Angeles, WA
|
|
Copper and Caper are the last remaining dogs from a family of ten dogs abandoned on the side of a Texas highway. We think they are Texas Heeler with some hound or Catahoula mixed in. Gentle and mellow they are potty trained and crate trained, walk well on leash, good with other pets and friendly with people. Copper is the Matriarch of the family. Caper is about 2-3 years old, both are spayed females, are fully vaccinated, heartworm negative and micro-chipped. Due to their hound dog tendency to patrol their territory, they will need a securely fenced yard or a commitment to regular leash walks. They get along well but don’t have to be adopted together.

Copper is likely the mother of Caper, so is probably a little older, maybe 4-5 years old. She loves kids! Copper is house trained and kennel trained, enjoys leash walks, squeaky toys and receiving affection. The hound is strong in her so will need a secure fence or commitment to leash walking. She gets along well with Caper but she would actually prefer to be an only pet
Caper

Caper is young at heart! So happy to have a second chance for a forever home, she oozes joy. The last of the group who was abandoned on the side of a Texas highway, she will be forever grateful to her new person. She is 3-4 years old, spayed, crate trained, potty trained, walks well on leash and is patient with other pets as long as they don’t invade her space. She is soft and gentle, affectionate but a little independent.
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.
