Abby and Pups
Portland, OR
Available Mid February!

It was a long and winding road, but Abby made it safe and sound to Oregon, where on December 6, 2019 she gave birth to eight tiny puppies. We don't know who dad was, but we believe Mom is a Dutch Shepherd/cattle dog mix. They will be available for adoption sometime around mid-February.
All puppies have had their first set of vaccinations and have been wormed. We will be looking for homes who have a plan for raising a puppy with positive reinforcement training methods.
If you are interested in adopting Abby or any of her pups, you must have an approved application which includes reference checks and a home visit. You can find our application here. They are located in the Portland, OR area. Their adoption fees are $350.

Abby (Mom)
|
|
Abby is about 18 months old, weighs about 50 pounds, and loves people. We believe she is a Dutch Shepherd/Australian cattle dog mix. Abby is fully vaccinated, micro-chipped, and heart worm negative. She will need to be spayed once she stops producing milk and her mammary glands shrink. She is doing well with the other adult dogs at her foster home, even with being protective of her little family. She will probably love having a doggy playmate in her new home as she is very playful with toys and her puppies
Mr. Mustard
This is Mr. Mustard, a handsome 18-pound black and tan gentleman. Mustard is the most laid back of all Abby's puppies. He likes to play and chase and eat the rose bushes but he's the first to go back into the warm puppy pen to snooze on the bed or under the chair. He is very earnest and defers to all the other puppies when it's time for cuddles. But once he's in your lap he loves to give you kisses and just hang out. Mr. Mustard does like to play bitey face with his siblings: under the hay bale plank, behind the overgrown shrubs, under the chair, as long as it doesn't involve too much movement.

Penny
This is Penny, a stunning little 12-pound brindle lady dog. Penny is the quiet girl, a little more reticent, thoughtful, and inquiring. She is not the one to rush into new situations full force, rather she prefers careful introductions to new things so she can assimilate them in her own way. As with all the puppies Penny loves to be cuddled and will sit in your lap giving you kisses but she won't be squirming like a banshee (see Lucy). However, this does not mean Penny can't hold her own playing and running and squabbling with her siblings. She just needs to feel okay about what is going on, not that unusual for puppies.

Faith and Hope
Portland,OR/Vancouver,WA
|
|
Are you looking for daily joy in your life? Look no further than Hope and Faith. This bonded sister pair brings all the perfect things you are looking for in a dog: calm and loving, well mannered, doesn’t pull on a leash, great with people (including children) and other dogs, no separation anxiety, not destructive in any way, rarely barks, up to date on vaccines.
Faith is a gentle, sweet, senior girl who wants to greet everyone she meets, tail wagging. She is inquisitive, and playful in the right circumstances. She would make a great therapy dog. She is 13 years old and in good health except for weak rear legs. She does better on carpet and sometimes needs help with the front stairs. Faith is a special needs sweetie. She is deaf and would do best staying with her sister, Hope.
Hope is also a smart, sweet senior girl, that lets Faith get all the attention. Hope will stick with you all day, while her sister sleeps, and is the protector of the pack. She makes sure that Faith is not left behind or does not stray out of reach. Hope is 12 years old and in good health. She might be interested in senior-level agility, as she flies up and down stairs and took to a nearby ramp immediately.

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.

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.

Luke
Portland, OR
Adoption Pending
|
|
This handsome young boy is Luke, somewhere between 8-12 months old. He weighs about 50 pounds and our best guess on his lineage is Great Pyrenees/Border Collie/Australian Cattle Dog. He definitely has the somewhat stubborn characteristics of a Great Pyrenees but he also has the focus of a herding dog, so best of both worlds. Luke is super smart, energetic, and loves to carry things he finds on his walks around in his mouth: pine cones, sticks, dead squirrels, rocks, walnuts, etc.
Luke is very easy-going, he loves people and other dogs. He lived on his own for the first few months of his life so he needs to continue to learn how to live inside a house and that rugs are not for unraveling for his enjoyment. He is doing very well on his house-training but will still need to be watched. Luke is crate trained and should continue that in his new home. He is extremely playful and loves toys and chasing balls. Luke really wants to play with the crotchety old cattle dog at his foster home but that just isn't happening.
Luke's would thrive in a home where he can go to work with his owner. He would also love a playful doggy companion. He could get into mischief if left alone for too long so if you work long hours Luke will not be the dog for you. A fenced yard is required to adopt Luke.
Luke came to rescue with distemper and has since recovered. He is vaccinated and micro-chipped. He is not neutered but does have an appointment for that in early March. Luke's adoption fee is $450 which includes the $300 adoption fee and $150 transport fee. Luke is located in the Portland, OR area. We will only schedule meet n greets with an approved application which includes reference checks and a home visit.

This handsome young man is Cash. He’s a Boxer Pitbull mix. Neutered male. Cash is about 12-18 months old. He’s really still just a baby. He is house trained and gets along well with other dogs. He likes to wrestle so canine buddies about his same size would be best. He loves people & definitely wants to be part of a family. Cash weighed 42lbs when he came in to rescue & likely has gained some weight. He loves toys & he loves to snuggle. Highly trainable & would be a great active hiking buddy or agility or other dog sports. Cash is in the Spokane, WA area & needs a foster home or a forever home.

Carl is an energetic 2 year old Australian Shepard that weighs 27lbs. He loves is people and has a brown heart on his side to prove it.
He is up to-date on all his vaccinations. He has had obedience training with the good folks at “sit means sit”. He is energetic and loving. Carl is the most intelligent dog, he learns new things rather quickly.
He has had some cow work but is not fully trained to work cattle. He comes when called and follows basic commands. He needs additional training around chickens and close supervision around horses and donkeys (he herds horses and chickens).
He will NOT leave your yard even if someone forgets to shut the gates. He needs lots of encouragement to leave the yard but does great on a leash.
Carl came to live with us when his previous owners were diagnosed with cancer in the same month. He currently lives on a farm and has three other dog companions and a 6 year old that he does great with.
He does have new dog anxiety but adapts with time But this is something you need to be aware of while on walks.
He is fantastic with kids 5 and older. New people? Not a problem. He is fully crate trained and will gladly go to bed when told. He absolutely loves water! He will dig holes if left unsupervised in the yard.
If you are interested Carl, please fill out a Western Australian Shepherd Rescue adoption application. For the time being, Carl remains with his current owners in eastern Washington.
