Are you looking for a companion dog? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a dog to watch that scary movie with? Do you want a dog that does not require you to incessantly throw a ball or squeaky toy? Do you just want a quiet, low energy dog to go on walks with? Well, Mia just might be your girl.
This 3 to 6 year old, 40 pound Australian Kelpie is perfectly content to snooze on a pillow or curl up next to you on the couch. Her normal demeanor has been solemn and unsure but her tail sure starts wagging when you talk to her! She even shows moments of excited energy that lets you see the carefree puppy inside.
Mia came to us heartworm positive and went through treatment in November and December. She is now negative and has returned to normal activities.
Mia has knowledge of basic commands (sit, stay, down, off, wait, leave it, drop it, come) although she sometimes needs to be convinced to comply with some of them, depending on her mood. Her recall is best if it comes from her chosen person. She is a very intelligent dog so she will have to have a job or a person to follow around in order to keep her from mischief. Ideally, although she is crate trained, her life should not be one of spending prolonged hours in one.
Mia rarely barks, and when she does it is usually when she is outdoors; has a waggely tail, and travels well if she can look out the window at the world. Mia walks well on a leash. She is food oriented, loves her meals and her cookies! Her table manners are improving, she is learning not to stare at the eater, and will go to her pillow during mealtimes. She is also learning to leave things in the trashcan or on the floor instead of eating them.
Mia gets along well with other dogs and we have not seen any issues with her meeting new people. She tends to cower a little or show skittishness at loud noises or abrupt movements so she will only be adopted to someone who can help her overcome this response. It would be preferable to adopt her to a home with adults only, or with older, dog savvy children.
She is spayed, microchipped, and all her shots are up to date.

Bailey

Bailey, an Australian Cattle Dog, is a 2 yr old, high energy, sport dog prospect who needs an experienced herding dog person. He likes other dogs but is too rough for most. No small dogs, young kids or cats. He’s just too energetic! He’s very affectionate, confident, and great in the car and on leash. His ideal home will have training experience & be active in dog sport & just active in general. We think Bailey may be a candidate for SAR or some kind of detection work. This guy is smart & has great drive .
Chief
Port Angeles, WA
|
|
Chief is also 3-4, neutered, potty trained, crate trained, soft and gentle, but shy. Will need some patient conditioning to car rides and new experiences. Will enjoy training and bonding with his forever owner. 61lbs.Chief is 2 yrs old, gentle and mellow but is a bit leery of strangers. He enjoys patrolling his territory and occasionally playing with another confident female counterpart. He’s getting more comfortable on the leash and in the car. He thoroughly enjoys a cushy bed and a nice chew bone but also needs an outdoorsy family. No cats and no small dogs.
Sally
Portland, OR
|
|
This beautiful coonhound mix is Sally, about 2 years old and weighing 65 pounds. Sally is as sweet as can be and loves to have her chin and chest scratched. She is very frisky, romping through the yard, throwing toys around, playing with her five puppies. Sometimes she does a play bow and then sends you a coy, flirty look as if to say, aren't I cute? She is somewhat shy and doesn't like quick movements towards her. Sally has so far loved all the people she has met. She does well on walks, velcroing herself to your hip so she doesn't lose you. She is not a candidate for off leash areas yet, being a hound she will run.
Sally's perfect home would have a large fenced yard to play in and hang out. Someone who wants to run/jog, hike, and any outdoorsy activities would have a good time with her. She doesn't know any tricks or commands so is a blank slate for you to teach. While on walks she pretty much ignores other dogs but we really don't know how she would be around another dog. We don't know about cats either. With kind, loving attention and positive training Sally will be a great family dog.
We are working on getting Sally spayed. She is micro-chipped, has been wormed, and is up to date on vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $450 which includes a $150 transport fee.
Sally is in Portland, OR. We schedule meet n greets after an approved application which includes reference checks and a home visit. You can find our adoption application here: https://www.westernaustralianshepherdrescue.com/adoption-application.html.

Harry

Harry
Harry is a very handsome, blond-haired, blue-eyed gentleman puppy. He is more of a loner, going off on adventures of his own, until he is enticed back into a game of chase and bitey face by one of his siblings. He likes to nap. Especially while being cuddled in your lap. He doesn't lack confidence and takes everything in stride with courage and aplomb.
Harry was born Valentine's Day weekend. He is micro-chipped, has been wormed, and received his first set of vaccinations. Depending on adoption date, he may receive his second set of vaccinations before going to his new home. We require a spay/neuter agreement and $100 deposit for Harry because he is too young for the procedure. The deposit will be returned when proof of spay/neuter at the appropriate age is provided to the rescue. The puppy adoption fee is $300.

Fluffer Nutter
This adorable little tyke is Fluffer Nutter, a confident little banty hen masquerading as a puppy. Fluffer is Number One in the puppy heirarchy, strutting around the yard like she's a 50-pound adult dog instead of a 10-pound baby. She hasn't met a person she doesn't adore and really loves to lay on her back in your lap, allowing you to rub her belly.

Cadbury
Cadbury, the smallest of the puppies, likes to chase and annoy her sister, Peanut Butter Cup (see below). Like her brothers and sisters she is a confident little girl, nothing seems to frighten her. She loves people and will take a cuddle or two but then it's time to go and find a sibling to play with, a toy to carry around, or a rose bush to tear apart.

Peanut Butter Cup
Peanut Butter Cup is a sweet, chocolate and peanut butter colored girl puppy, with a personality to match. She is a lover, happy to be cuddled in your lap, especially if a belly rub is in the mix. She and Cadbury have a special bond, always playing and fighting and stealing toys/sticks/clumps of grass and dog fur from each other. She is a thoughtful puppy, looking at you with her big brown eyes as if trying to share her puppy secrets with you. Or maybe it's just a ploy to get you to pick her up and cuddle her.

David

David
This cute little white and tan boy puppy is David. Like all his siblings, David is a cuddler extraordinaire, always happy to be in your lap having a belly rub or an ear scratching. He uses his blue eyes to his advantage because once he focuses them on you, you will do what he wants. David is the most vocal of the puppies; demanding to be let out, crying for his meal, warning off the imagined stranger danger (he has never met a stranger he doesn't like and is not in danger), telling his siblings to stop chewing on his leg/ear/mouth/tail. He is the spokes-puppy for the rest because what he asks for, they all get as well.

Monday
Waiting to come to the PNW
|
|
Monday is a happy, energetic 8 month old Australian Cattle dog mix looking for an active human(s) to share their love of the outdoors.
This lovable boy would make the best adventure companion for hiking, running, and camping.
Happiest when he gets daily physical and mental exercise, along with play time.
He LOVES to play - fetch with his humans, with other dogs, with the wobble ball - anything that's fun, he's your guy!
His foster mom has a K9 Cannon that shoots out tennis balls which Monday can catch right out of the air.
Super intelligent boy who is very trainable.
Great on leash. He doesn't pull, he listens to directions/redirects and is non reactive to other dogs and people.
Housetrained and crate trained.
Dog friendly and likes to play with the other dogs in his foster home. Would love to have another dog to play with in his forever home.
Cats are unknown, so not recommended.
Children old enough to walk him, play with him and learn to train him only because his exuberant energy and jumping up to say hello could knock over small children.
Still in the puppy chewing stage, so will need lots of appropriate chew toys and need to be crated with a treat filled Kong, when left alone until he learns his boundaries.
If he's bored, he will find ways to entertain himself by digging up rocks to play with or sticks to chew on.
A home where his people are not gone long hours, have a good sized fenced yard and are willing to take him to puppy training classes would be best.
Monday is 45 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 transport fee to bring this handsome boy to the PNW.

Shadow
We are no longer accepting applications for 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:

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.
