Scout
Newport, WA
|
|
Things are looking up for Scout. This handsome Belgian Malinois had a horrible injury to his leg that required amputation. Throughout the whole ordeal, Scout has been friendly & always wagged his tail. Scout also has limited vision in one of his eyes.
Now, let’s talk about the good things. Scout is extremely friendly with people. He gets along very well with other dogs. He is house trained & crate trained. He loves stuffed toys. He is great in the car & loves to go. Only having three legs does not slow him down. Scout is fast & he loves to go hiking. He is quiet in the house & does love to curl up & snuggle. Belgian Malinois are intelligent high drive dogs. Scout has a high prey drive so would do best in a home with no cats, horses, chickens, etc. No apartment homes will be considered. Dog savvy individuals with experience with Malinois would be ideal. There is an additional $175 to cover cost of his transport from TX.

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.

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.

River
Adoption Pending
Port Angeles, WA
River is a sweet, mellow middle-aged gal who was abandoned in a high kill TX shelter after being used for years as a breeding dog. Her teeth are worn and damaged it’s difficult to know her age for sure but the vet guesses she’s somewhere in the 6-8 yr range. She’s potty trained and loves the security of her crate but is very content to lay at your feet on a cushy blanket or bed. She’s pretty intense with birds and small critters so no cats, bunnies, ducks, chickens or the like… She’s a smaller gal(40#), very sensitive and gentle and would prefer a fairly calm, quiet life with a nice yard to wander. She likes all adults and loves the affection of older kids. She’s tolerant of other dogs and even enjoys a good romp and wrestle once she’s confident in their company. She “smiles“ when she’s nervous, defensive or excited and she gives the cutest, softest “ woo, woo, wooooo” greetings. River has been spayed, had a full blood panel done, is heartworm negative, microchipped, current on vaccinations and flea/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $350 plus $175 transport from Texas. She’s available for meet and greets in the Port Angeles WA area.
