Lefty and Poncho
Lefty

Poncho
Vancouver, WA
|
|
Lefty and Poncho are two senior smooth coated Border Collie pups. They are good friends, may even be brothers. Both were abandoned by their family at a Texas shelter in favor of young pups (yes, some people do that sort of thing) and were due to be put down. WASR came to their rescue. We did not have foster home accommodations where we could keep them together, so Lefty is fostered in Port Angles, WA and Poncho is in Vancouver. They are doing great separately and can be adopted individually or together. There is a lot of loving life in these two dogs. If you are looking for sweet loving companions, these two are for you!
LEFTY:
Lefty is the sweetest old side kick anyone could ask for. He’s got a bit of a hitch on his get along but with daily exercise and anti-inflammatory medication he is still quite an active guy. He loves to follow his person around the yard or lay back in the sun where he can keep his eye on you while you work. He guards the home from a bed on the porch but he’s happiest sacked out at your feet in the evening. He’s very well manned and house trained although he may help himself to delicious smelling items if the garbage isn’t stowed properly. He doesn’t bark excessively, just gives a few alarm barks when visitors come. He has lived with other dogs but he’s not interested in rowdy play and can be a bit of a fun policeman at times. He is a Border Collie mix after all. He’s a bit too interested in cats so may chase if they run.
PONCHO:
Poncho is a laid-back guy with a happy grin and a tendency to lean into you for pets and belly rubs. He loves lounging in the sun and keeping events in the kitchen under control through quiet observation. He gets along well with his dog house mates, especially after his slow and careful introduction to them. He has good house manners. He is currently very involved in construction management as he closely supervises the crew putting a new roof on his foster home. Nothing slips past the keen eyes of Poncho.
Both boys will need fenced yards so they can continue enjoying outside time without worry. Neither are candidates for apartment living. Both would prefer quiet adult only homes, but older, respectful children would probably be ok but neither one is interested really active kid games.
Meet and greets will only be arranged with an approved application on file. You can find the application on this website under the adopt a dog tab.

Puppies!
Kali, Harper, Ginny, Greta, Honey & Harley
Coming from Texas to the PNW
KALI, HARPER, GINNY, GRETA, HONEY & HARLEY are 12 week old female Australian Cattle dog mix puppies looking for loving forever homes where they will be included family members.
They are cuddly, happy, playful, social pups who are crate trained, enjoy car rides, and are learning basic commands.
In their foster homes, the puppies are being socialized with children and other dogs - keeping them socialized with children and other dogs is critical for their development.
Australian Cattle dogs are active, intelligent, loving, loyal pups.
While they are adorable little puppies now, needing regular naps, as adults, they will need daily physical and mental exercise to be happy, well behaved dogs.
They will be great adventure companions for hikes and runs when old enough.
Right now, they are cuddly, moldable clay, lovebugs, waiting for their forever families to love them and raise them right!
Loving belly rubs, snuggling in laps, playing with other dogs and appropriate chew toys.
Families willing to attend puppy training classes with them to set puppies and adopters up for success will be necessary.
Only homes with fenced yards where they will not be left home alone for long hours will be considered.
The puppies currently range in weight from 10 lbs - 12 lbs. Expected to be around 35 - 50 lbs when full grown.
They have three rounds of puppy vaccines, been dewormed, microchipped and will come with a $100 refundable spay deposit.
*In addition to their $400 adoption fee, there is a $175 transport fee to bring each sweet puppy to the PNW.

Halle
Coming from Texas to the PNW
|
|
|
|
HALLE is a very sweet, affectionate and patient 5 year old Australian Cattle dog Lab mix looking for a home where she will be an included family member.
A nice spot on the couch to cuddle up getting pets from her humans is her ideal day.
Has a good lower energy level and would lay happily at your feet while you work from home or watch a movie.
Good for going on walks and shorter or low intensity hikes.
She loves children and is gentle with them, soaking up any attention they will give her.
Housetrained and crate trained.
Dog friendly, but also very happy to be the only pup in your life, getting all of your affection.
Not destructive at all inside or outside.
Sleeps through the night on her own bed in her foster's room.
Knows basic commands 'sit, down, come, load up, paw/shake'.
Great car rider!
Halle likes belly rubs, being with her humans, naps, treats, kongs, sunning in the yard, walks, pets, gently playing with toys, and watching her human cook.
Dislikes not being near her humans, baths, nail trims (but she will oblige) and spray bottles.
She loves to just be around you and get pets and cuddles. If you stop petting her when she’s laid out on her side or back, she will raise her paw and pet herself at her ears, trying to tell you she wants more!
When she wiggles her whole body in delight or play it is the CUTEST thing!!
Halle is the perfect combination of “I need to be by your side!!!” and “I’m good here by myself” if you need to go out.
She also likes going for rides on her foster's side by side UTV and will often cruise down the property with them when they go to the pond or creek.
Excited to go for walks and explore all the new smells, so she does need some leash work learning not to pull.
Not a big barker.
She is wary of cats but she has finally become apathetic of their existence in her foster home, but it took a LOT of separation and supervised interactions. So a home without cats is probably best.
Only homes where she will not be left alone for long hours will be considered. A fenced backyard where she can lay around and sunbathe would be great.
Halle is 55 lbs, spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, has been treated for heartworms and is current on prevention.

Piper (Adopted) and Cindy (Available)
Port Angeles, WA
Cindy
Piper
Adoption Pending
Piper and Cindy are 5 month old girls who we think are Aussie/Sheltie mix with a little bit of Dachshund or maybe Jack Russell thrown in. They are very petite but super athletic and sturdy. We expect them to mature at about 30 or 35 pounds. They’re crate trained and well on their way to being fully potty trained. They have been fostered in a home with other dogs and cats, enjoy car rides and are learning to walk on leash. These girls are being fostered in Port Angeles, Washington and are available for meet and greet anytime. Their adoption fee includes their spay, vaccines, micro-chip, deworm and negative heartworm test. There is an additional $150 to cover cost of their transport from TX.
Inky
Newport, WA
|
|
Meet Inky! This Australian Kelpie was born March 28, 2021. She currently weighs about 25lbs. Inky is cute & petite & fast as lightning. She & some other Kelpies were in need of rescue when their owner passed away. Inky’s experience in the world has been pretty limited. Most everything is a new experience for her. She is shy but very sweet. She is learning that toys are fun. She gets along well with other dogs, cats & even chickens. Inky comes from working dog lines & she does appear to have instinct to work livestock. Inky is crate trained. She is working on house training. She is definitely more of a “people” dog than a “dog” dog. She would love being an active companion. Given her biddable nature, we think she would love agility or certainly herding. Because most things are new to her, a patient owner, preferably with herding dog experience will be best. She’s a smart funny girl & we are seeing her blossom a little more each day. Inky is being fostered in Newport, WA. In addition to the adoption fee, there is a $150 to help cover the cost
Twig

It's a puppy! Meet Twig, a 2-4 month old Australian Kelpie. Twig is dark brown with light tan accents. When he is full grown he should be somewhere between 30 to 45 lbs.
Twig is an adventurous, curious, and playful little guy. He follows around the children and other dog in the foster home. His favorite is a 7 year old girl who gives him lots of snuggles. He loves toys, throwing them in the air and then zooming around to tackle the toy. He tries to race around the backyard, but he's still clumsy and working on perfecting his turns.
Since he's a puppy, he plays for small spurts then wants to snuggle up with the nearest human to take a nap. He loves everyone he meets. While attending a child's soccer game, Twig was happy watching but ultimately found another mother's lap to nap in.
His foster family thinks he's showing a lot of intelligence. He's taken outside often (especially after naps and meals) and he's already catching on to potty training.
*In addition to his adoption fee, there is a $175 transport fee to reimburse the rescue for his ride to Portland.

Benny
Port Angeles, WA

Benny is a 14-month-old LiveWire! He had a bit of a ruff start, but has recently successfully reached some very specific training milestones and is ready for a fresh start. He is high energy and very toy motivated. He is eager to please and very affectionate, but may never be able to integrate into a multiple pet home. He is seeking a very active owner, someone with herding dog experience, who will continue his training, a home with no other pets, preferably a dog sport or physical fitness enthusiast. He’s being fostered in Port Angeles WA, has been neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped.

Wants love and cuddles from all humans.
Dog friendly and would do well in a home with other dogs or as an only dog getting all of your attention.
Good with kids, but doesn't always realize they are little - she gets excited wanting to play and interact with them.

Not a big barker, she's a relatively quiet girl.
Well behaved on car rides.

Will need a human willing to attend basic training with her, which is a good chance to bond.
She's a smart girl who would thrive with guidance and activity.
Keeps her kennel clean, but doesn't get much in the way of activity right now, so gets bored and will chew up toys with stuffing.

Bongo
Tacoma, WA
|
|
This is Bongo, an 8-yr old red merle mini Aussie boy. Bongo is an active
little 35-lb dog who loves to play Frisbee, swim and retrieve toys in
water, and just have a job to do. He is super smart and loves learning
new tricks as well as performing his older ones. He likes to play hide
and seek, eat treats (he's partial to hot dogs), and go on walks and
jogs with his humans. He is a very loyal and devoted four-legged friend.
Bongo is selective about his doggy friends so would be best as an only
dog. Careful introductions in neutral environments help him get to know
his playmates without stress. He hasn't had much leash work so that is
something he will need help with. He is good with some cats but not
others so a cat-less home is preferred. Bongo gets along with respectful
children old enough to play Frisbee and fetch with him. No children
under 7-8 in his new home.
Bongo is ready for a new forever home with a loving family who will
cuddle with him and who he can watch over. He still has a lot of love to
give and Frisbees to fetch and lakes to swim in. Please fill out an
application on our website at:
https://www.westernaustralianshepherdrescue.com/adoption-application.html.
We only set up meet and greets with a completed application which
includes reference checks and a home visit. Bongo is located in the
Tacoma area. His adoption fee is $300.

Koda
Adoption Pending
Coming from Texas to the PNW
|
|
Koda is a happy, super friendly 8-10 month old Aussie mix puppy looking for an active home to give him daily exercise, love and guidance.
Very dog friendly boy with a charming style of play that the younger dogs enjoy. He would do well with a playful dog companion.
Koda's loving demeanor will make him an easy addition to your family, he truly shows his appreciation for pets and attention.
He may not have a big tail for wags but his face says it all- tongue out and always 'smiling'.
Good higher puppy energy, that after exercised, can turn off his energy when inside and chill by his humans.
Wants to be where the action is, so dog toys and puppy puzzles are helpful to make sure he is the 'BEST BOY'.
An adopter willing to go with him to puppy training classes and give him a consistent routine will set all up for success.
Currently in his foster home he is working on crate training and consistency with housetraining.
Sleeps in a crate at night and whines if he needs to go out to potty.
Koda resides in a foster home with 3 teenagers and 4 dogs of all ages both male/female.
He is welcoming to the busy activities of teens/other humans in the home and will seek out belly rubs and attention from each new friend.
Knows basic commands like 'sit' and has learned to sit before meals.
Has not shown any food aggression and even waits for the other dogs to finish their meals without trying to eat their food.
Rides well in the car.
Walks well on leash.
Not destructive inside/outside, although he might steal a shoe to play with.
Koda is always excited to see people, so will need training to learn not to jump up to say 'hi' and to keep his paws off of the counter.
Only homes with fully fenced yards where he will not be left home alone for long hours will be considered.
Has not been cat tested, so we will not be adopting him to a home with cats or little critters.
Koda is currently 34 lbs, neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, heartworm negative and current on prevention.

A family with another energetic dog his size who will play with him would be ideal.

Looking for a running or hiking companion - he's your boy! He'll run right next to you on leash and can easily be trained to stay near off leash.
He has a high energy level - but expends it easily with exercise and play.
Mac plays fetch perfectly. He is happiest when he is running and chasing things.
Likes to wrestle other dogs. If you take him to the dog park he is sure to chase or wrestle with other dogs (in a gentle way)
Child friendly - lives with kids ages 4 -12 years old in his foster home.
Housetrained if let out in a timely manner. He lets you know he has to go outside.
Crate trained.
Sleeps through the night in his crate.
Knows some basic commands and would love to learn more.
Not a big barker, except at passing dogs who he wants to play with.
Walks ok on leash, working on not pulling.
Great car rider. Sits perfectly for long distance trips too.
Chews like most puppies, so appropriate chew toys are recommended.
Cat friendly. Lives with 2 in his foster home.
Only homes with a good sized fenced yard will be considered. No apartments for this boy please.
Mac is 48 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 pup to 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.
