BOLT COURTESY LISTING FOR OUR FRIENDS AT HUMANE SOCIETY FOR SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON
Courtesy listing DO NOT contact Western Aussie Rescue Meet Bolt!
Bolt is a smooth coated Border Collie mix at the Southwest Washington Humane Society in Vancouver WA. He is almost two years old and is an extremely active dog. Bolt needs a home where someone is dedicated to training him and keeping his mind and body busy. He is not a good choice for a first time dog owner. He would make a great dog sports competitor or a super running companion. Like many herding dogs, Bolt is cautious when he first meets a new person. But he warms up quickly with a few treats--after that, you get his full focus. His kind of focus will make him easy to train, quick to learn and a super companion to an adult looking for an intense canine buddy. Bolt will need consistency in his day to day activities and environment. If you are interested in meeting Bolt, contact the Southwest Washington Humane Society directly. WASR volunteers have met Bolt, interacted with him and really, really like this guy!!

LOTTIE Portland OR
Lottie is a 16 yr old Australian Shepherd mix. She is agile, and has quite the spunk for an older dog, but being an old Aussie means she is still full of life and love. She enjoys long walks equally as much as snoozing calmly in the house. What she enjoys most is having someone by her side - it doesn't really matter what you're doing, she just enjoys the company of a companion. She well trained to be on a farm - doesn't walk into garden beds and will generally keep her distance as long as you set the boundaries. She has great house manners as well. She loves kids and doesn't mind other animals such as cats/chickens. She is incontinent - meaning she will "leak" if she hasn't emptied her bladder. Her condition is managed with a very inexpensive medication (PROIN) which prevents the leaking. She would love a home with someone willing to have her by their side daily as a companion.
PUPPIES PORTLAND OR - Available
To be considered to adopt any of these puppies you must fill out an
application on our website at: www.westernaustralianshepherdrescue.com.
Once your application has been submitted a volunteer will contact you.
The puppies' adoption fee is $400.
These six puppies are about 10 weeks old and weigh about 9 pounds,
soaking wet. Their mom is a red heeler and their dad is an unknown ne're
do well although there seems to be some Catahoula leopard dog in them.
There are two brown male puppies, two black and white female puppies,
and two female blue merle puppies.
These puppies are active, friendly, love people and other dogs, playful,
funny, and just plain adorable. But they are puppies so the right home
will have a plan for house-training, trick-training, snuggle training,
toy play, etc. They will require a high quality puppy kibble for their
first year to help them develop and grow into strong, healthy dogs.
The puppies have had two sets of vaccinations. They are located in
Portland, OR.
RODNEY Newport WA
Rodney looks a little bit like a cartoon puppy. He is unbelievably cute. Rodney & his litter mates came to us from Gillette, WY where they left their mama to find forever homes. The little family was in the shelter there. Mama went to another foster home & the babies came north. Rodney’s brother & sister have been adopted. Now he is looking for a forever home. He is about 10 weeks old now. We believe he is an Idaho Shag, a herding dog bred by crossing, Border Collie, Australian Shepherd & Airedale Terrier. These are hardy, intelligent & active dogs & knowing Rodney’s temperament as we do we believe he will live up to this 100%. This little cutie will need an active committed home. A trip to the dog park won’t cut it for him. An active dog savvy home is a must. No apartments. Rodney is being fostered in Newport, WA.
DIXIE Newport WA
Life for some is not easy. That’s the case for Dixie. She & her two canine housemates ended up in a kill shelter in Texas after their owner died. Dixie barely made it out. We knew there was something wrong with her left hind leg & we were committed to helping her. Dixie had to have the ball of her femur removed & we are hoping she will be using the leg again soon. She definitely seems to have less pain now. My theory is that she may have been hit by a car earlier in her life & then healed up with the hip issue. She has arthritis is both front legs as well & an injury to her eye lid that has healed.
The thing that stands out about Dixie the most is her unwavering happy attitude. We knew she was in pain but her tail never stopped wagging & her sweet face spoke volumes about the kindness & love she has in her heart. Dixie is only about 6 years old. She gets along with other dogs & cats. She is house trained & is well mannered. She loves to ride in the car.
There is a limit to how much Dixie will recover but she does like to go for walks & she is far from ready to give up on life. We know it will take a special home to adopt this broken dog but what she will give to you in love will be 100% worth it. Dixie is being fostered in Newport, WA.

Meet Rotan. He is one of the sweetest pups ever!!!! Super submissive, playful, kid friendly, dog friendly, cat friendly. He’s absolutely gorgeous and just amazing. He was a stray so we are guessing on age & breed. Rotan is about 12-18 months old. Australian Shepherd mix. He would do best in a home that makes sure he’s part of the family. Rotan is currently in Texas waiting for his forever home or a foster or maybe a foster to adopt situation.
There is a transport fee of $150 to the PNW in addition to Rotan's adoption fee.
JUNIPER Tangent OR
Juniper is a stunningly beautiful 10 year old 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!

MURPHY Port Angeles WA
Murphy is a beautiful , 12-month old Australian Shepherd/Catahoula dog mix, complete with a big fluffy tail. He is a very sweet boy and loves to be petted and fussed over. Although still a puppy he does not chew on inappropriate items such as your shoes, remote controls, dish towels, or bedding. However, he will chew up a leash or harness if you leave it attached to his body unsupervised. I guess he just likes to be naked when the attachments are not being put to the use for which they were intended.
He loves to go on walks and does not pull much except when he sees other dogs. Murphy needs training on appropriate behavior on walks when he sees other dogs. He has a great recall and is house and crate trained. He knows commands such as sit, stay, come, wait, and off. Murphy will bark at strangers when they walk by his fence and like most Aussies will try to herd (chase) bikes, scooter, trucks, and such. Murphy loves tug and chew toys and will happily try to keep them away from his person.
At first Murphy will bark at new people but he quickly warms up when he sees they are friends of his person, and if they have treats! He never learned proper doggy etiquette so gets easily over-stimulated with other dogs and plays too rough. He lived amiably with a small dog but had problems with the bigger dog so would be best as an only dog. NO CATS! We don't know how Murphy would be around children but he would probably try to herd them and end up knocking them down.
Murphy has an old injury to his left front elbow that has caused a deformity to his foot. We are exploring options for Murhpy to see what treatment would be best for his long-term health, especially since he is still a puppy and has a long life ahead.
Murphy is smart, sweet, and loyal. If you want a cuddle buddy who loves to go on walks and are willing to put in some effort to help this young puppy learn to live in a human world, Murphy is the dog for you. He is located in the Port Angeles, WA area. His adoption fee is $300. We will only schedule meet n greets after your application has been approved, including reference checks and home visit.
REGGIE
Portland OR
To be considered to adopt this puppy you must fill out an application on
our website at: www.westernaustralianshepherdrescue.com. Once your
application has been submitted a volunteer will contact you. Reggie's
adoption fee is $400.
This handsome young puppy is Reggie. He's about 4 months old and weighs
around 30 pounds. Reggie is not going to be the size of a lap dog
although he does love a good lap snuggle. Reggie has a lot of the
Pyrenees traits: calm, quiet, independent but very loving. But he has
that herding breed personality too and loves to run and play with his
fellow foster puppies, squeak his squirrel within an inch of its life,
and follow you everywhere. Because Reggie is going to be on the large
size he is probably not going to join you on long jogs or runs but he
will love to go for walks, camping, boating, etc. With his calm, loving
personality Reggie could be a great therapy dog or companion animal for
someone.
Reggie is up to date on his vaccinations. He will need to be fed a large
breed puppy food until he is about 18 months old because livestock
guardian breeds like him take longer to mature and need the proper
nutrition to become a healthy adult dog. Reggie is ready to go to his
forever home, apply to adopt him today.

A patient home where her new family understands she will need some time to get used to her new environment. She is well worth the effort.
Great for a family looking for a calm girl that does not need any additional training.
She can be shy around new people, but once she knows you are friendly, she can't get enough of you. She prefers gentle pets and scratches, but does not care for cuddling.

SADIE GRACE - Available
Meet Sadie Grace. She is estimated to be 12-18 months old. She’s an English Shepherd. House trained but needs to be watched to continue reinforcing this good behavior. Sadie Grace weighs 41lbs but she is definitely thin & will gain some weight. She is good with other dogs & loves to play. She loves all types of people & thinks kids are pretty fun. Sadie Grace met some cats at the vet’s office & thought they were ok. We can’t say for sure how she would do in a home with cats but her lack of interest in them at the vet clinic was encouraging. Sadie will be a great companion. She will do best in an active home that includes her in family activities & exercise. We always recommend training classes for young dogs for continued socializing & learning basic good canine manners. In addition to her adoption fee there is a transport fee from Texas of $150
WINNIE Cheyenne WY
Winnie is a wonderful little year old pup looking for a loving home. She
is thought to be a Whippet mix and has settled in to being about 30
pounds. She is very athletic so will be a good buddy for whatever
activity you have in mind. She is being introduced to the frisbee. She
loves the snow and eating ice cubes. She loves to bask in a sunbeam or
cuddle with you on the couch. She likes to chase birds and bunnies and is
ready for warm weather to try her hand at ground squirrels. Her main
pet-peeve is having to wear a man-made coat to go outside in the cold
winter weather.
Winnie may be fine with older children. We do not know how she is with
cats. Being a hound, sharing a home with pocket pets would probably be a
bad idea. She would probably be happy with another dog in the home but
she may be too much the puppy for a much older or senior dog.
Winnie is crate trained, spayed, chipped and up-to-date on shots. She
knows "sit", "wait", "off", and is working on "down" and "stay". Her
"come" is much improved but still needs work during those times when
interesting things are happening around her. She would also benefit from
an obedience class to assist in her learning and socialization.

BINDI Waiting in Texas for a forever home in the PNW
BINDI is a happy, healthy 2.5 yr old Catahoula/Australian Cattle dog mix 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 energy and would make a great running and hiking partner.
Bindi has been lovingly fostered. Her foster mom understands that she gets overly excited when around other dogs, but that its not aggression.
She is a very vocal when she plays, which makes other dogs and owners feel a bit intimidated by her.
A strong girl who plays rough and expects all dogs to be as excited about playing as she is.
She has made great strides in her training.
The right home for Bindi would be a patient owner who understands dog behavior, especially high energy vocal behavior.
A strong owner who helps her continue to learn being confident around other dogs. She is dog friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs, just needs proper introductions.
Kids over eight because she’s so powerful that she could knock over a small child. This is a cattle dog who is very excited about life.
Bindi needs an owner who sets boundaries and has her display obedience by actions such as sitting and staying before going in or out of a door and before eating.
She likes her maze feeding bowl to slow her down. Always happy to eat! She would be a really good choice for agility training or as a running partner.
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 open space to run and play, but does not like to be outside alone because she wants to be with her people family.
Walks well with the Gentle Leader and Dog Training leash, but she is very powerful and needs someone to be aware of her strength.
She does not need loud correction because it scares her, she takes appropriate correction well when on lead and walking around other dogs or waiting for her appointment in the vet lobby.
Not a big barker, but will bark 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 in the PNW)
She likes a seafood, non-grain diet to keep her skin free of rashes. Teeth are in perfect shape.
Bindi is happy and young spirited. She deserves a forever family who wants to spend time with her to help her continue to grow in confidence and manners with other dogs, and to simply love her. Look at her beautiful face and coloring!! Truly a stunning gal and she’s ready to meet you!
She has not been cat tested, but probably best to be in a home without cats.

REX is a 3 year old handsome heeler looking for a calmer home where he can spend time bonding and enjoying life with his human.
Once he trusts his person, he is a complete velcro dog and wants to be with his human all the time.
Loves to play with toys, cuddle, get belly rubs, hang out with you on the couch or play in the backyard.
Good medium energy boy who is relatively calm for his breed.
Housetrained and crate trained.
Dog friendly and has shown no reaction to cats.
A home without children would be best, due to their loud, quick, unpredictable movements having a tendency to scare him.
Knows basic commands.
Rides great in the car.
Walks ok on leash - does not pull or act out.
Due to his past, where he was most likely mistreated, Rex does have some fear based reaction where he will bark, growl or back away from new people.
Rex needs a home with a gentle, patient, confident human where he can slowly help him learn to trust with slow introductions to new people.
His adopter will be rewarded with a lifelong, loyal, loving companion.
He's a bit more trusting of men, but has been able to trust women too. Someone who is retired, works from home or is only gone a few hours a day would be a great dad or mom for him.
Rex is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, has received heartworm treatment and is now negative and current on preventative.
He will need to remain on heartworm preventative for life, like all dogs, to insure that he stays HW negative.

She was named Dollface by the shelter staff and her foster mom said she is exactly that: a loving doll face.
Dolly is a very gentle, very loving, very happy girl.

Dog friendly and non reactive to cats.
Housetrained (uses the doggie door) and crate trained.
Rides well in the car. Not a big barker. Walks well with harness on leash.
Sleeps thru the night on her own bed.
An active family with a fenced yard would be ideal for sweet Dolly.

There is a $150 transport fee in addition to her adoption fee to make this sweet doll part of your family.

SAMPSON
Affectionate, happy, playful 8 month old puppy weighing 50 pounds.
Sampson is a very lovable boy who enjoys meeting new people, getting his belly rubbed and giving kisses to everyone he meets.
Dog friendly guy who likes to play with dogs his own size or larger.
He knows basic commands like 'sit' 'stay' and is a quick learner when treats are involved.
Even gives 'high five' with his paw.
Crate trained and goes potty outside when you take him.
Enjoys car rides and is well behaved in the car.
Sampson is not a barker and is not destructive inside or outside.
He is curious about cats, but not aggressive towards them.
Good medium puppy energy level, but knows how to chill after he's exercised.
Walks 'ok' on leash - pulls a little at first because he's excited to get out and explore the world.
Sleeps thru the night on his dog bed.
Although he is very child friendly, he doesn't always remember he's a big puppy, so a home with children over 6 would be best, so he doesn't knock any little's over.
He will probably grow to about 55-60 lbs.
Sampson is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, heartworm negative and on preventative.
*In addition to his adoption fee of $300, there is a $150 transport fee to the Pacific Northwest
Dallas TX MADDIE
Do you like unconditional love, affection, going for long walks and cuddling?
Maddie is a very happy, beautiful, smart 2 year old Texas Border Collie mix who is looking for a human companion of her own to love, with no other pets to share the attention.
She is very affectionate and will give you kisses, lots and lots of kisses.
Maddie loves to go for walks, play in the yard and cuddle up on the couch with you for a movie.
A home with previous dog experience and the ability to be the pack leader/alpha would be best for this loyal girl.
Maddie knows basic commands like 'sit and crate' - she will willingly go into her crate if told.
She is house trained and walks well on leash.
Maddie would be happy to sleep in bed with you or at least in your room.
Pretty good inside house manners, although she would love to eat your shoes if you let her.
She is not a big barker, but will alert you to someone outside your home (a great theft deterrent). Maddie will keep your home safe from bad guys.
While she is good with children, she doesn't know her size and can knock over small children so we recommend a home with older children, if any.
Maddie is dog selective and not fond of cats.
Maddie is 60 lbs, spayed, up to date on all vaccines, heart worm negative and on preventative.
Please only inquire if you live in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area.
Her foster mom Linn, would love to answer any questions you might have about Maddie.

COURTESY LISTING ROCKY & SHANNON Portland OR
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. Contact Carrie connellpetrescue@gmail.com |

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.
