"Rocky"
Please meet Rocky! Rocky is a sweetheart, a large 5 year old red-tri
male with a happy and bouncy personality. He sits on command, comes
when called and is housebroken. He is not used to being in a crate
(and doesn't need to be, is completely dependable in the house), but
has been crated in the past and could easily be re-trained. He is
a big snuggle bug and loves to be petted. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW2bBvZKuwI
Rocky loves people, kids
and most other dogs. He has lived with cats and has been fine with them.
He enjoys playing with some toys, though he doesn't really retrieve.
Rocky knows the command "out" to get out from under your feet. He
doesn't jump on the furniture at all, and doesn't jump up too much on
people either, although he will.
Rocky is listed as a special needs dog
because he is missing an eye. His breeder neglected Rock and his
littermates when they were young; he apparently got an infection of some
sort in his eye, and by the time he got into rescue, there was no way to
save it, so it was removed. You would certainly never guess he is at all
handicapped by the loss -- in fact, he's so agile, he has even caught a
squirrel!
He is a little overweight at 60 lbs. (could probably lose 5 to
be ideal), but nonetheless has a great vertical leap! (So funny to see.)
His foster mom says "he jumps like a deer and is really quick!" He
really does just jump straight up, though, not over -- has not been
inclined to jump over fences.
Rocky is very energetic outside, but nice
and calm inside. As with most Aussies, he'll stick with you and wants to
be where you are. Rocky is neutered and current on vaccinations. Here
are a couple more short video clips of Rocky:

"Gretter"
|
Gretter is a 2 year old red-tri male. This loving boy is neutered and up
to date on all vaccinations. Gretter is crate trained, house trained, is
mastering basic obedience commands, has good off-leash recall and
definitely loves his toys. Overall, he is a very easy-going dog who is a
touch spunky. Gretter's very tolerant of things such as daily household
activities, community dogs and kids walking by the privacy fence, loud
storms and is great with other dogs and cats. Gretter is in wonderful
shape and would be great with a very dog-savvy family. His only downfall
is that he gets so excited that he jumps - but his foster family is
working on that with him. Just because of his larger size, Gretter may
knock down small children when excited. A typical velcro Aussie in that
he likes to be wherever the humans are, preferably close enough that
they could pet him if they had a hand free, he is also quite content to
lay at your feet. For more information or with questions, contact Jayne
at mcjayne@yahoo.com with Protege Rescue.

"Quincy"
|
This is Quincy. Quincy is a gorgeous 4 year old dark
blue merle male. He is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations,
heartworm negative and on Heartgard and Frontline. He is crate trained,
house trained, is mastering basic obedience commands, and has good
off-leash recall. Overall, he is a very easy-going dog and is tolerant
of everything. He endured an hour long grooming session, with amazing
patience, although we think he probably just loved being touched,
even if that meant nail trimming and lots of brushing. He likes to
be petted and to have his belly rubbed. Okay he lives for belly rubs,
as evidenced in this video.
Quincy came into rescue as a stray, a very well-fed stray! He has
been minding his waistline and continues to lose weight. Quincy loves
people, he likes to play with other dogs and thinks toys are quite
fun. Quincy is very easy to live with, he would make a great companion
for someone who wants an Aussie but doesn't want to deal with a young
dog's exhuberance! Quincy is a typical velcro Aussie in that he likes
to be wherever the humans are, preferably close enough that they could
pet him if they had a hand free. We really enjoy this charming guy's
patient and calm demeanor and hope someone else will appreciate it
too. For more information or with questions, contact Jayne at mcjayne@yahoo.com

"Max"
Max appears to be a Lab/Dalmatian cross. He is approximately 90-100 lbs. and around 5-6 years of age. He is neutered and up to date on shots.
Max needs to be in a home with no other animals and no small children. This is a dog who is STRONGLY protective of his home and his owners. He has gone through dog training, but still has issues. Max has attacked a second dog in his current home twice due to his overprotective nature. He is uncomfortable with strangers, but as long as he is on a tight lead, and is not approached by the stranger, he is usually good until he is used to having the new person in his space. I have just learned that he has thyroid disease, which has is being treated - maybe a cause for the aggression?
Owners are willing to pay shipping to anywhere in the US if a responsible, caring home can be found. Max is also crate trained and doggie door trained. He is located in Henderson (Las Vegas) NV.
Here are 2 pictures of Max. One is Max hanging out, the other shows his size (he's obviously the one in front!) and that he is included in family activities often with his current family.

"Brandy"
Brandy is approximately 9 years old. Rescued from a pound 7 years ago, spayed, healthy, weighs about 65 pounds, shots and preventatives up to date, vet records available. Belonged to my brother who recently died. Extremely aggressive with all other dogs; my brother was sick for many years before he died and was home so much of the time, with the help of a medication, he could control the aggressiveness.
In an effort to prevent her from being euthanized, I have attempted to keep her, but I have a Chow-Golden mix who only wants to play, and she is totally terrorized by Brandy; I am unable to control the aggressiveness and can no longer keep her.
It is difficult to believe that an animal so aggressive to other dogs can be so sweet and gentle with people, but she is truly absolutely a dear, sweet dog. She would be a great dog for someone who has no other dogs and truly perfect for someone who might be skittish about being home alone (because she looks vicious). She has never been aggressive with any people, even children, but she has never spent much time around young children; my niece was 13 years old when Brandy joined the family; she is now away at college and cannot take her either. My sister-in-law has her hands full with other dogs and cats and running a household alone (before he died, my brother told her it, would be OK to euthanize Brandy, but I really want to avoid that drastic act for a wonderful dog.
She exhibits traits of an abused animal, cowering when yelled at and rolling over when she knows she been caught doing something she should not have done. She is quite intelligent, curious and adventuresome, and loves chasing squirrels and playing with bones (prefers carrying and flinging them around over actually chewing them). She has never been destructive to property.
I live in Greenville, SC and will welcome visits from any potential new masters. I would also take her any where an adopting person lives within a 150 mile radius, or have her transported further at my expense. If the person who agrees to adopt her has a difficult time getting her to adapt, I will take her back (Once she gets used to a place, she should be fine, but it did take a couple of weeks for her to settle in when I first brought her home with me; at that time, she was clearly horribly depressed because she didn't understand why my brother was not around anymore - and he had been a constant companion; she didn't eat for several days; but I have not spent nearly as much time with her and I do not think she is quite so attached to me anyway; if her next master spends time with her, I think she will be thrilled and then happily adjusted).
