Faith and Hope
Portland,OR/Vancouver,WA
Meet Faith and Hope
These two sweet senior girls have been together their entire lives. Recently due to difficult circumstances they were given up by their family. Faith, the pure white dog is deaf, Hope acts as her "ears". Aside from deafness, Faith is in good health. She also responds to simple hand gestures so that her lack of hearing is not really notifiable in most family situations. We really want to adopt these two lovely girls together; ideally to a family that has some experience with deafness in dogs.
Faith is a gentle, sweet, senior girl who loves people. Walkers fall in love as soon as she makes a determined bee-line to them, tail wagging. She is inquisitive and loves treats. Faith is 13 years old and in good health except for weak rear legs. She does better on carpet than hardwood or linoleum floors, and struggles a bit with slippery front stairs. Faith is a special needs sweetie. She is deaf and would do best staying with her sister, Hope, who makes sure that she is not left behind or does not stray out of reach.
Hope is also a smart, sweet senior girl, that is a little shy, but also likes people. She may be making sure that Faith is safe when venturing up to strangers. Once she bonds to you, she stays close. Her foster mom thinks she’s probably a couch dog, as she looks longingly at any empty space of the sofa, but generally doesn’t assume that she is invited up on to the furniture. Hope is 12 years old and in good health, though maybe has allergies.
Both Hope and Faith are friendly but not playful with other dogs; they seem to do well with cats encountered on walks but have not been cat-tested indoors. They don’t play much, but love walks, and both are very good on the leash. They have no separation anxiety, are not destructive in any way, and do not bark. They would do best with people around to engage their minds and exercise them regularly on short to moderate walks. Both girls are up to date on vaccines.

BINDI is a happy, healthy 3 yr old Catahoula terrier mix dog 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 good energy and would make a great hiking partner. Bindi will happily greet you and all people with kisses and tail wags. A true companion for a person, couple or family with older children. She would not harm young children, just might knock them over with her exuberance. Bindi knows commands like sitting and staying before going in or out of a door and before eating. An owner who would continue to reinforce those boundaries with her would be good. Always happy to eat and likes her maze feeding bowl to slow her down.
Bindi is 40 lbs. 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
- 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 some space to run and play, but does not like to be outside alone because she wants to be with her people.
- With regular daily exercise, she walks nicely on leash.
- She does not need loud correction because it scares her; she takes appropriate correction.
- Not a big barker, but will bark to alert you 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 outside of Texas)
- She likes a grain free seafood diet to keep her skin nice and helathy. Teeth are in perfect shape.
- She is a happy, young spirited gal who deserves a forever family who wants to spend time with her and to simply love her.
- Beautiful face, coloring and unique one blue eye, one brown eye!!
- Truly a stunning gal and she’s ready to meet you!
- Selective about her doggie friends, so a home without other dogs will only be considered. (although she does live with another dog in her foster home and plays well with him)
- She has not been cat tested, but probably best to be in a home without cats.
- The perfect companion for a person or couple.
Bindi is 40 lbs. spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, heartworm negative and on preventative.

JUNIPER
Tangent OR
Juniper is a stunningly beautiful 11 year old, 65lb 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!

ASTRID
Adoption Pending
Vancouver, WA
|

This sweet, sill, senior girl is Astrid. She is looking for a retirement home for her golden years and would like to be the best friend of an individual or family looking for a cuddly companion.
Astrid is an Aussie mix with a tail, on the smaller side (but not a mini). She’s a classic blue merle with soulful eyes. Astrid enjoys walks, car rides, snuggling on the couch or big fluffy dog bed, exploring the yard and playing with soft squeaky toys. She enjoys the company of other respectful dogs and will engage in friendly chase games with them. She is funny, friendly and playful.
Astrid and two canine companions were found abandoned in a Texas home where their caretaker was found deceased. They had no food or water for a long time but plenty of fleas. Indications are that illness took their person who had not been able to properly care for them for quite a while.
But Astrid is incredibly resilient and has bounced back fully. She is healthy except for the typical aches and pains of a senior dog with a bit of arthritis. Due to the severe flea infestation she endured, she has a few patches of thin coat that are looking better every day with good nutrition.
The ideal family for Astrid would be a single older person or couple with lot of “stay at home” time. She will make a superior companion but not a running partner or sports dog.
Astrid’s adopter must commit to her for life and be prepared to meet any future medical needs and to provide top-notch nutrition. If you are seriously interested in Astrid, you must fill out an application. There will be no meet and greets without an application. You must travel to her foster home to meet Astrid. She is fostered in the Vancouver, WA/Portland, OR area.
Astrid’s adoption fee will be subsidized by a good Samaritan with a desire to help senior dogs find forever homes.

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.

SHANNON
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.
