6 Baby Puppies!
Foxy
Angel- Adoption Pending
Foxy is a young female heeler/border collie/aussie mix. She is very pretty! Foxy is a very sweet girl. Her foster home likes her A LOT. She's a cuddler even though she's a shy one. I honestly don't think she came from an abusive home, nor neglectful, she's just one of those very very timid dogs. Anyway, she's coming out of her shell and playing with the dogs and even trying to get us into the playing. She does open up to women much faster but if you're quiet and calm with her she attaches herself to you. Once she got settled in we started to see her playful and excited side, but even though she gets exuberant she is always gentle and easy to redirect.
She does know how to walk on leash but insists on being on the right no matter what, which if your a left handed dog walker, takes a little readjusting. She's very scared and timid with traffic and other people especially if they approach from the rear. She HATES anyone behind her. That's why i thought of naming her foxy. just like a fox she likes to see things and people form 360 degrees before approaching.
She's a little timid with dogs but her playful side keeps from being painfully shy with them. Her biggest issue on shyness just seems to be people. Cats, she does okay with. Once again, the kitten who just doesn't take a dog messing with her immediately put her in her place and we moved on with life. The other cat who wants to run and hide, we've had a couple instances of chasing but when she catches up to them, she's all nose. She's simply trying to figure out what they are and introduce herself.
Redd
Redd is an adorable 6 month old Australian Shepherd mix pup. He is the brother to Trooper. Redd will be an active dog who requires an active lifestyle and a 15 year committment.
Yankee
Yankee is a 2 year old male black tri-color Australian Shepherd. He is a sweet boy who is well-behaved. Yankee is neutered and ready for a new home.. He's smart as whip and seems to get along with any other dogs. He is extremely responsive and does well off-leash. He got a good grooming this weekend, so he is burr-free now and he really enjoyed being fussed over. No problems getting his nails clipped, his coat trimmed etc.
Max
Keegan is a 10 month old red heeler/australian shepherd mix who is current on his shots. He loves to be petted; enjoys playing with children older than six; loves rawhide bones; is very expressive when being spoken to; was raised around other dogs (is a little dominant when around some), enjoys being both indoors and out; loves to tip his water dish over and chew on it; loves to have his stomach scratched and gives lots of kisses; is trained to sit and stay and knows his boundries when fingers are snapped and he is told "back" or "get back"; very smart. He is a little shy when it comes to meeting other people; he has a tendency to nip at young children; is not trained on a leash (but we are working on it); was trained not to put his feet on the counters or table (previous owners didn't correct him when he did that at their home); loves to chew on anything near him while being unattended; doesn't like loud noises such as a raised voice or slamming of doors, etc.; needs to be introduced to people first before he can trust them. He is potty trained and will ask to go out when nature calls. Also asks to come back in when he is done.
6 cute puppies. They were born Jan. 25th 2010 and will be ready for adoption towards the latter part of March. There are 3 merles and 2 creams and 1 white. Their mother had them in the shelter, but they are now safe in foster care. Mom is named Angel and is a sweetheart blue merle smoothcoat Australian Shepherd mix. Not sure what dad was, but the vet techs are guessing Golden Retriever. We will begin taking applications for the puppies immediately so as to hopefully have homes lined up for them as soon as they are weaned.
Special thanks to the Franktown Animal Clinic of Franktown CO (303) 688-4690 for giving such great medical care to these little guys.
A couple of these puppies are now spoken for, but we are still seeking homes for the others.
Roxie
More Puppies!!!
Ginger- Adoption Pending
Roxie is a 2.5 year old Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix. She is active and loving. She would be a great agility dog or herding dog. She does not appear to have much interest in toys. She has some training and is good in the house. She is good around most other dogs. Roxie would probably do best in a home without tiny children. Roxie is fully housetrained, spayed, and ready for love.
Puppy Pile!! These ten puppies will be ready for adoption around the beginning of April. Mom was a black lab and dad was a red heeler. Currently 4 remain available- 1 male and 3 females.
Keegan
From Max's current owner: "His name is Max! He is two years old. He was nuetered at the age of one and has become a great dog! Just needs to be with someone with more room and more time on there hands. I just recently had a baby and have become really busy with little time to give to max. He has maners (sit,fetch,lay down ect.) He is really good with other dogs, and he needs a owner that is willing to take him in and give him a good home and lots of love. " Max would do best in a home that is familiar with Heelers. He will chase bicycles and other things that move. He is a sweetheart of a dog.
Jasmine
Jasmine is a sweet female Australian Shepherd mix who loves people. Her owner passed away and she ended up in a shelter. Safe in foster care now, she longs for a family of her own again. She is a petite girl, only about 25 lbs. She is good with all sorts of people, including children. Everyone loves this sweetheart.
Maggie
From Maggie's current owner: "Maggie is a very smart, very loving 6 year old border collie. She has been spayed and is current on all her shots. Maggie has had her teeth checked but does not need to have them cleaned. She is much loved, but needs another loving home because her special people are moving to town and are not allowed to have pets. Maggie loves to play! She will go get her ball or Frisbee and bring it back for as long as you are willing to play with her. Maggie comes in the house twice a day to eat and knows that the kitchen is her boundary. She knows many commands. Maggie comes when called, kennels on command or “loads up” if she can go to town with you. She patrols her area and is good at keeping the deer out of the yard. Maggie hasn’t had to work cattle, but is so intelligent that I am sure she would learn easily. She has a cat and a poodle as playmates and treats them very well."
Coon
Maxwell
Maxwell is a 1 year old blue merle Australian Shepherd with lots of pretty copper tones. He is a sweet boy. Like the typical Aussie, he can sometimes try to be a bit dominant and not allow other dogs access to his person or things, so should have a confident leader to remind him of his manners from time to time. Overall, he is an excellent young dog. Like all rescue dogs, he will be neutered prior to placement.
Coon is a beautiful blue merle 2 year old Australian Shepherd. He is a playful boy who would enjoy lots of hikes or dog sports. He enjoys playing with dogs, but needs a home without cats. Coon is neutered, housetrained, and current on vaccinations.
Dunbar is a lovely 2 year old tricolor Australian Shepherd. He is a little camera shy, but a awfully sweet boy.
Dunbar
Stubs
Stubs is a 2 year old neutered tan/white Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. Stubs is an active dog who loves to run and needs plenty of exercise. He has no interest in herding livestock. He loves kids. He doesn't fetch, but likes to play tug of war with a rope. He lovesplaying tug with the dogs. He does play by himself a bit too. He likes the balls with the ropes through them. He really likes stuffed animals, eventually he does pull the stuffing out of those and then he still plays with them. He also likes to sleep with a stuffed animal just like a little kid does. We have a cat and he is quite good with it. They even play a bit, though not as much since he's grown bigger. He has never shown any aggression towards any person or other animal. He is super friendly. He sometimes woofs when someone comes to the house. He weighs betweeen 55 and 60lbs. He has a docked tail.
Lily is a German Shorthair Pointer/Border Collie mix. She has more of the Border Collie drive and instinct. She is a very active dog and would make a great running buddy or agility partner. Lily is current on vacciantions and spayed. She is available for adoption through Great Plains Pointer Rescue. Please contact HeRD of WY for more information.
Tucker is a 10 month old Australian Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix. He is neutered and current on vaccinations. He loves people, kids, cats and dogs. He takes naps with my older cats and gives them 'kisses' on their noses. He will chase the 6 month old kitten if he runs from him, however they share the same space on the porch when not playing. My cats are well adjusted and have been around our dog all their lives.
Mostly, Tucker loves to be with people and petted. He's very mellow and most of the time, would rather stay by your side than anything. Sherrill has worked with him on obedience commands and he learns very quickly. She's taught him to wait before leaving the house, getting in the truck, or eating his dinner. We introduced him to a vet tech and she said he had very good manners.
Tucker would make a great companion.
