 She doesn't resource guard anything. She hasn't chewed on anything inappropriate and likes to be outside. She's good on a long tether but her perfect home will have a fenced in yard! Rita loves dog toys: stuffed ones, rubber ones, rope tugs, balls -- pretty much everything. It took her a couple weeks to start playing with toys, but now she has the toy basket pretty well distributed across the house. Rita is up-to-date on shots, spayed, and in good health. She is housebroken; she's had NO accidents at all inside. Rita is good in a crate, but is also very trustworthy outside of a crate. Often when her foster mom is gone for short periods of time (1-3 hours) she will leave Rita closed in the bedroom with her foster sister. Rita has now been trained to stay off furniture and does a pretty good job. Every so often when she's very excited she'll forget and jump up on the couch, but generally Rita will lay in a dog bed or enjoy the coolness of the floor. Rita is not a velcro Aussie. Although she LOVES people and wants to be with them, she will also do her own thing. If her foster mom is busy doing chores, Rita will go lay down in another room or find toys to play with. Rita rides well in the car and enjoys car rides. She also enjoys being brushed and is good for nail trims, ear cleanings and baths. Rita is being fostered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Jo Iowa |
Gypsy was raised around children, as well as a cat and another dog, and gets along great with all of them! She will bark if someone comes to the door, and likes to greet people when they come in! She is only territorial when she perceives a threat, and if the kids wrestle or get in a fight, she does jump in and grab pantlegs to get people apart. She is sweet and obedient and loves affection and is more submissive than dominant, but very playful and likes to run when given the chance! Gypsy wants to play and run more than we are able to allow her. We love this breed, and this dog in particular, but due to increasing demands on time with multiple businesses, she is not getting the exercise, play, and attention that we feel she deserves. She used to love to run and catch Frisbees, and would probably like to do that again! Gypsy has NEVER been struck, and we love her and will miss her, and want her to go where she is well loved and will be very well treated. Gypsy has a a friend named Ginger who we are told is a Jack Russell/Pug mix, and I think they would miss each other, so if you might consider taking them as a pair, we would let Ginger go along so that they would have each other. If you are interested in Gypsy, please contact Jennie Henderson at 319-573-1075 or by email at jennifer.henderson28@yahoo.com. Jo Iowa |
Murphy is a year old, neutered and would do really well with another playful dog, with a family with or without kids or cats. He likes to clean all the cats in our house and most of them let him. He is still a little chewy so we buy nylabones for him because he will chew a raw hide down way too quickly to keep him occupied while indoors. He loves to go for walks but he will need some socialization to get him to behave better on a leash. He is small enough though that he is controllable. Murphy doesn't have a problem staying in a fence and will stay in the yard no matter how many cracks and slips you may have in a fence. He knows he doesn't want to be without his humans so he stays. He is very much a people dog and will be your dedicated best friend. He needs to be primarily an indoor dog and NO chains please! He craves attention from people and would be heartbroken to be separated from you. Murphy is locate in Omaha, Nebraska; please contact Jackie for more information at jaxsinknobbe@gmail.com.

Splash is a flashy black-tri color Miniataure Australian Shepherd. In addition to wanting to play, Splash wants to be wherever you are. She loves to be your shadow around the house, and loves notrhing more than the opportunity to lay across your lap after playing for some cuddle time. Splash had a bumpy first week in her foster home. We suspect that because she didn't have toys and a lot of attention at her previous home, she so loves having these things that at times during the first week she would bare her teeth and snarl at the resident dogs at her foster home. As the week progressed and she learned that there are plenty of love and toys to go around, these behaviors have subsided, and she now thoroughly enjoys playing with the other 4 dogs in the foster home, and is respectful of the resident cats as well. Splash enjoys going to doggie daycare with her foster mom, where she has a blast playing with the other dogs, and wraps the daycare staff around her little paw with her adorable face and sweet nature. Splash had not been on a leash much prior to arrival in foster care, but has quickly learned how it works. She is most comfortable going potty off leash in a fenced yard, but is learning more every day how to potty when she is on leash as well. Because of her desire to be with you at all times, she has a tendency to try to slip out the door with you any time you go outside, so we are working on not going through the outside door until she is told it's okay. Splash is crate trained, and able to sleep quietly through the night, or while you are away. If she is in her crate and she can see you, she will cry for a bit, but will stop if ignored. Splash is a fun loving and affectionate little miss storing up a whole lot of love for her new forever family. Here are a couple of videos of Splash playing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuAof1ft7jI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vQJVeKPUWw Splash is around 1 year old, up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, and on preventatives.

 Ella (Protege #0144) is a black-bi 14 week Aussie/Blue Heeler mix who came to us along with her sister and brother. She is a super puppy with lots of energy and a great disposition. Ella is learning her manners and is very good about pottying outside. She loves other dogs (from very large to just her size) and will play for long periods of time before calling it quits and plopping down to rest. She is sleeping thru the night and is quiet in her crate. |
 Meet the very handsome Charlie (Protege #0145), a black-tri Aussie who is just over a year old. Charlie is an active boy and weighs about 40 pounds. In his pictures he may look like he weighs more but he has a very thick coat of fur. He was found as a stray so we don’t know any background information on him. |
 Liddy (Protege #0143) is an adorable 14 week old Australian Shepherd/Cattle Dog puppy. Out of the three puppies from this litter that Protege got in, Liddy is by far the largest. Of course, we aren't sure how big any of the puppies will get but are guessing Liddy will end up being on the larger-side. |
