Raz is a sweet 4 year old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. He loves to play ball, ball, ball. He is a busy fellow and would love to be able to spend lots of time playing with his people. He is very motion sensitive and gets stimulated by too much fast movement so very small children would not be a good fit for him. Raz is generally good with most other dogs.

Max
Maia is a 2.5 year old Australian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees (best guess on breed). She is about 57 lbs. She is a love. Maia loves to go hiking and SWIMMING. Very sweet. A nice mix of mellow and energetic. Her tail wags and wags when she sees her person. Teenagers make her a bit nervous, so an adult home might be best. She is good with cats and dogs. Maia is spayed and current on vaccinations. She is housetrained. What a super nice girl.
Maia
Roxie
Roxie is a SPAZ! She gets really excited and we think she must be half cat the way she turns in the air. She is just totally cool. Roxie is a 3.5 year old Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix. She is active and loving. She would be a great agility dog. She loves toys and would make a great disc dog. She has some training and is good in the house. She is good around most other dogs once she gets to know them, but would probably do best with male dogs or as an only dog. Roxie would probably do best in a home without tiny children. Roxie is fully housetrained, spayed, and ready for love.
Roxie has been through obedience and agility classes and competes in NADAC agility and has earned her first title.

Jedi
Jedi is a 2 year old neutered male miniature Australian Shepherd/heeler mix. Jedi is about 30 lbs in weight, so pretty small. He is a very loving and affectionate and playful dog. He is good with dogs and cats. He likes to play with gentle dogs and will play with cats as well. Jedi is housetrained and behaves well in the house for the most part (occasionally steals himself a treat out of the garbage can). He is a player and a cuddler and has great facial expressions. Jedi would do best with a single female as he has been badly treated by a male in the past and cannot bring himself to trust them.
Ty
MJ
Kalli
Kalli is a spayed Australian Shepherd/Chow mix. She is housetrained and very trustworthy in the house. Kalli is a very easy dog- she is not hyper, demanding, destructive, pushy, etc. She does LOVE to go on walks, but is not demanding about it. She mostly minds her business and lets you mind yours. She does like to play with toys on occasion. Spayed and current on vaccinations. Kalli weighs approximately 50 lbs so is a nice medium size.
His person adopted him from the shelter back in June but is allergic to him and can therefore not spend the time as well as interact with him the way that he needs.
He is a 13 months old neutered BC/shepherd mix , very friendly with both other dogs, people and kids. He is up to date on all shots and very healthy. I had him in my obedience class for 8 weeks with his owner, and he is a very smart dog who just needs a job. He is both food and toy motivated and eager to learn.
He spent a few hours at my place the other day , so I could see him away from the class room setting with my dog and I was pretty amazed: My dog is a bully with other dogs, but after just 20 minutes, my dog would even let Max stand over him and play bite him in the neck..a very rare sight. My 2 year old daughter was running around with the dogs with no issues besides the kissing she got from both dogs. We have horses but Max didn't even care to run after them, . Is very curious though and will chase the cats, but as soon as they stop and hiss, he backs off. He will be a great family dog - he just needs a home who wll take him in and let him be a part of the family. Just remember, he is a teenager and unfortunately not quite house trained yet. His current owner is trying to set up some doggie daycare for him to keep him active and out of trouble, while she is working and has promised she will work on the house training.
M J is an 18 month old surrendered to a kill shelter because "can't have her anymore". MJ is housebroken and spayed. She is incredibly smart, but really needs something to do. She has been through basic obedience. She is a little nervous with new people but with more classes should continue to gain confidence and social skills. MJ is a beautiful blue merle Australian shepherd/Australian Cattledog mix. Great hiking buddy or rally-o partner or agility dog.
Update: MJ has been through basic obedience now and has started agility classes. She's super smart!
Roper
Montana
Roper is a handsome tricolor smoothcoat Australian Shepherd mix. He is about 2 years old. Roper is very loving and affectionate. He is housetrained and has good manners. However, he does not particularly like men and may do best in a female only household. He is neutered and current on vaccinations.
Chrissy is a miniature red merle Australian Shepherd. She is around 30-35 lbs. Chrissy was a stray so her age is an estimate, but we are guessing around 3 years. She is pretty shy and does not appear used to being inside. She will need some TLC to develop more confidence. She seems to like dogs and is a bit more confident around other dogs. She is spayed and current on vaccinations.
Lizzie
Lizzie is a 1 year old Aussie mix who is a surrender because “moving to an apartment can’t have animals”. She is compatible with women, kids, dogs, and cats. She is housebroken. She loves to play in the water. She is could use a little training and plenty of exercise. She slept in the bed with the kids. She likes walks, fetch, and swimming. She has beautiful markings, and is estimated to be approximately 20” tall. Her weight is about 45#." Lizzie is spayed and current on vaccinations.
Teddy
Teddy is a young neutered male red tricolor Australian Shepherd. Teddy has been in foster care for several months after a rough winter surviving on his own last year. At first he was afraid of almost everything, especially cats and loud noises, but has grown into a happy, sweet gentleman that just wants to please and be close to his people. He plays with toys, the cats, other dogs and is especially gentle and patient with puppies. He greets new people readily, however he will always be somewhat timid around a lot of rowdy activity (don't expect him to play wide receiver in the backyard touch football game!). He loves to just hang out with his people but still requires a lot of encouragement to keep his self confidence up in new situations. He has never demonstrated any signs of fearful agression, just a tendency to want to gain some space and observe from a distance. A relatively quiet and predictable life is the best for him, but he will make some lucky person the most loyal and loving companion they could ever ask for!
Molly
Molly is an intelligent vibrant girl. She is just over a year old and is 3/4 Australian Shepherd and 1/4 labrador. Medium sized, about 45 lbs. Needs some basic obedience, but lots of potential. Spayed and current on vaccinations. Molly has been started in agility classes and is very smart and athletic- lots of potential.
Wyatt
Wyatt is a year and a half old. He is a tricolor Australian Shepherd. He's on the smaller side, about 37 lbs. What a sweet loving dog. He is great with dogs, cats, kids, and pretty much everyone. He would be a nice family pet.
Bean
Sassy
Rosie is a 3yr old female Australian Shepherd/Catahoula X in search of a new home. She loves to go running and hiking, and will play fetch endlessly with a "squeaky ball". She is very affectionate with her people and interacts well with other dogs and people when we are out and about. She knows many basic commands, including "drop" and "leave it" and does not guard her toys or food. She is very tolerant of young children in the house (she currently lives with 4 children ages 1-9 yrs old), but due to some herding behaviors, should probably not live with a family with children.
Rosie is protective around her home and the car, so she would do best with someone who understood some of the quirks of this breed. Also, her herding instinct is triggered when people squeal and chase after one another outside (like playing football or having snowball fights) and is prone to some hard ankle nipping in these situations.
Because Rosie is very athletic, sure-footed, alert, and responsive to her owner, she would probably excel with an experienced dog owner who would train her for agility or ranch work.
Rose is a 1 year old Red Tricolor Australian Shepherd. Sweet active girl. Not house trained. She is playful, and busy. She loves toys and when she can't get one of my dogs to play, she entertains herself with a toy. She gets along great with other dogs - she is not timid, but not dominant either - kind of a nice medium where she doesn't challenge anyone and stays out of harms way, but assertive enough to do what she wants. Rose is one of the most intelligent dogs I have had. She learns her limitations very quickly. For example, first time she saw a barn cat she took off after it. I scolded her for it. Next time she saw a cat, she started to chase it and when I commanded she stop - she did immediately, and hasn't chased them since. She also learned very quickly that jumping on me wasn't ok. I have not had her around small children, but I think she would be great with them. One of the best things about her too is that she hasn't shown any interest in straying at all. she wants to be with me and my dogs in close proximity constantly. She is not interested in wandering off to explore at all. I can trust her off leash without hesitation. she has no interest in herding or chasing the horses. She does bark at my goats a little, but will stop if I scold her. I let my goats out to do chores with me in the mornings and she is fine with them. The goats are large and don't take any crap from the dogs :) she is curious about them, but leaves them alone.
Sadie is a 4 year old white and blue merle Shetland Sheepdog/Australian Shepherd mix. She is an active girl who loves to run and play. Sadie does well with dogs and can be okay with cats with some supervision.
Tyler is a red tricolor Australian Shepherd. He is a good boy, very typical aussie. We are guessing he is an older adult, maybe 8 years in age. Tyler is neutered and brought current on vaccinations. Stays close on hikes. Happy, sweet guy.
Sassy is a 9 month old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. She is a great little dog, but can get nervous and needs to go to a home that will make her feel safe and loved. Sassy is current on vaccinations and spayed.
From Sassy's foster home: "She's really a sweet dog. Totally crate trained. Not a whine or a wimper during the night or even when I come in from work. She runs in and out for treats and is happy with a nylabone or cow hoof to chew on while in there. House broken, no inapproriate chewing, found the toy bucket pretty quick and knows how to play with them on her own and with the other dogs. She is REALLY food motivated. Counter surfing and food stealing will be an issue if not watched. A little snarky about food dishes but very easily distracted away from the other dogs with her own food rewards. Doesn't seem to mind having her collar grabbed, takes corrections well and doesn't need more than a loud no or eh eh. Absolutely no recall and has obviously been punished after being called with the words come or here. She has huge prey drive and super sensitive to fast motions. I wouldn't trust her with cats or squealy children. It seems to be her mission in life to stop anything with moves really fast in anyway she sees fit to stop it. She doesn't seem to mind my bird, but of course, she's not flying around either. Vacuums, hairdriers and cameras make her nervous. Not scared of bangs or other loud noises. I can grab her, roll her over, pull feet, tail, ears, rough up her face, squeeze her and push her around without any reaction or even getting mouthed. She never barks. The occasional growl as people walk by but quiets down as fast as it started. She will be fine with someone who can manage the prey drive with distraction training, an obedience class to work around other people and dogs, probably a fenced in yard and someone willing to never let her off leash until she is totally trust worthy (may never happen), kids over 12 may be fine but bikes and running games would have to be managed (I'll test this on the neighbors kids soon), she's fine with other dogs and does meet and greets best off leash. Nervous around strangers but warms up quick with treats and belly rubs."
Sadie
Ace
Ace is a 7-8 month old smooth coat puppy. We believe he may have some Australian Shepherd in him. He is a nice tricolor and wont get very big, maybe 42 lbs when he fills out. Ace is an active fun pup that does well with people of all ages and dogs. Cat test is pending. This is a really nice pup.
Cassidy
Chrissy
Rosie
Concho
Donovan
Concho is a friendly 1.5 yr old male Australian Cattle Dog. He is a great size for a heeler, right at 30 lbs. Likes to play ball. Super nice dog.
Donovan is a gorgeous but shy 9 month old red/white aussie (he does have a docked tail). He needs a home that will give him some TLC and help him to learn to trust. We see a lot of promise in this boy.
Update from the foster home: He is doing really well, he is still pretty timid but he’s coming around and not quite as scared. He does a little happy dance with his front feet when you start walking up to him. He desperately wants pets, he just wants to know he’s going to be ok while you are doing it! He is a good, healthy weight and getting along well with all the other dogs. He pretty much ignores the cats. If another dog starts to chase them, he will join, but it only takes a word and he quits. He sleeps loose in the house at night and does really well. He usually sleeps in a corner where he feels safer. He loves treats and learning he can take them from my hand and not be afraid. He is very handsome and really sweet and would make a wonderful pet!
Cassidy is a 1 year old Border Collie. Sweet as they come. We're told she is good with kids cats and dogs. Cassidy was surrendered to the shelter pregnant, so will be available for adoption around April. But we will begin reviewing applications for her at this time.
Chance is a 1 year old Border Collie/Australian Cattledog mix. He is a cuddly sweet boy. Very well-behaved and pretty mellow.
From his foster home:
He’s doing well in the house and when we visited my parents he did great there too. He’s friendly with everyone he meets, doesn’t bark at strangers, and doesn’t bark at folks visiting our home or outside our fence. He is very good at polite greetings. We were able to introduce him to my three cousins (14, 9, 8) and he did awesome! Wagged his tail and sat down for petting. We let him loose with their male dog and he did wonderfully! He was very careful to watch where the kids were and was very sweet with them in the house too. He is so polite and kind with the kids, he just lit up around them too. I think he would be a wonderful 4-H dog. I did take him out to my parents with the horses. He’s definitely too interested in them for comfort. He got very stalky and low and really watched them but never pulled on the leash or tried to run in. I think he would be OK at a home with horses as long as he was contained and supervised around them but he couldn’t be loose on a ranch (I think this is how he lost the teeth and got the messed up foot). He shows too much interest in my neighbors cats so my guess is he wouldn’t be a good fit with cats unless they were dog savvy and told him off. Chance is neutered and UTD on shots. Settles nicely in the house, crate trained, and heels nicely. He’ll let me check his teeth, handle his paws, grab his collar, pick him up. Just an all-around great guy and surprises everyone he meets with his manners!
Chance

Does best with female dogs. Likes to play with dogs. Might be inclined to chase cats that run, but ok with cats that stand their ground. Needs a little work on housetraining. Good off leash. Loves to run, but also very content to lay on the porch and chill. Good family dog.

Jangles
Jangles is a black tricolor mini aussie. He is under 30 lbs. Very cute fellow. Really well-behaved. Foster home says you hardly notice he's there.
Sara
Sara is an Australian Shepherd who was turned into the shelter with her 6 puppies because the family could not afford them. We are looking forward to new pictures soon. Sara is now spayed and current on vaccinations as well as microchipped. Here is what the foster home has to say about her so far:
"She is shy, but very sweet. She would do best in a home with other dogs, preferebly older that are not so roudy. She is doing ok with my dogs, she is just a little dominant and doesn't know how to "play" with them, but she is doing so good. She has no idea what a toy is, but she actually chased a tennis ball yesterday. She is doing great in her kennel, no barking, whining, or accidents. She has also not had any accidents in the house, seems to be potty trained. Could care less about the cats and is very respectful of them."
Rose
Rhubarb "Rhu"
Rhubarb is a 6 month old red/white border collie puppy. She is on the shy side, but lots of potential. Will update as we get to know her better.
Here is what her foster home has to say about her:
This little girl was picked up somewhere around Paul, ID. She is about 6 months. When I first picked her up from the shelter she was absolutely terrified! She stayed curled up in the back of my car for the ride home. After a few days, she started playing with my dogs but still wanted nothing to do with me. As she began trusting my dogs and watching the trust and love they had with me, she wouldn't run from me anymore. She even gave me a kiss one morning and then ran away so shy. She is a precious little dog! She weighs only 25lbs but is still just 6 months so will grow some. She is now letting me pet her. She wags her tail when she sees me and she is not afraid to look at me anymore. She has only gone potty in the house the first night. I'll now begin working with her on sit, stay, down, and maybe some tricks. She is a smart girl who needs lots of activities!
Sammy
From Sammy's foster home:
I live in Pavillion, WY and have a rescue/foster dog, Sam. I was wondering if there is anyway you could do a listing?
Sammy is a very sweet, affectionate spayed 1.5 year old red heeler mix. She is small <30lbs. I completely trust her with kids, she wants to fetch, she is very smart, tons of energy. she would make a great working cow dog for someone that needed her. She knows basic commands and stays with us when we go out. she runs with the 4 wheeler amazingly. She shows interest in the cows and I believe she would bloom if she was with an experienced dog. She kennels great and I trust her in the house. She does like to chase cats, but could learn to live with them. She ignores the chickens :) . I worked at a vet clinic last year (in Riverton) when she was found. She was spayed and adopted out. She didn't do well with her family in town, she needs more room to run and be active. I have her, with 6 other dogs, and it is too many for us. She listens well and really no problem, she would benefit so much more from a family that could use and appreciate her.
Shelter Dogs, Foster Homes Needed!

Sasha
This is Blue, a male border collie mix who is a surrender because “I love my dog moving can’t keep him”. Former owners say he is housebroken and 5 years old. He is neutered. Marked as compatible with men, women, kids, dogs, cats, livestock. May know some basic commands. He is easygoing, friendly, and playful. Does not jump fences. Likes walks and jogging. He is friendly and likes both people and other dogs. Likes pets and attention. This is a kind and gentle dog who does not understand what has happened to him nor why he has lost his home and people.
