Henry
Henry is a great dog about 2 years old. He is looking for a home that is willing to keep his active Border Collie brain busy. He would also like you to know that he can be a bit of fence jumper, but is eager for the right person to work with him on this. He is very smart and knows several commands already. Henry is neutered and current on vaccinations.
Bella is a sweet 2 year old Australian Cattle Dog. Her heart is as big as her ears. She is approx.. 19” tall, and about 34 lbs. She gets along with all dogs and likes to play. She loves to cuddle on the couch. (If you prefer her not be on a couch, all you have to do is tell her and she will get off. She is a great listener.) She is fully potty trained, crate trained and has all her basic manners. I am going to work with her on some basic tricks too! She is smart, that is for sure!!! She has a VERY good recall and will come as soon as she is called. She is nice and calm inside the house. She is fully up to date on all shots, and healthy. She likes to carry around toys and she is ball driven. Flyball or disc anyone???? Bella has no issues, she just makes some grumbly growly noises….but this is how she talks. She is a vocal girl! No harm meant. J I am not sure how she is with cats, but she has walked by them, didn’t go up to them, but is definitely intrigued; I have a feeling she might chase them. (Don’t most cattle dogs??? J) Will you give Bella the loving life she deserves???
Sassy
Sassy is a 3 year old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. Sassy is current on vaccinations and spayed. Sassy is a smaller girl, maybe 40 lbs. She is active and would do best with a job to keep her busy. She is not a good fit for children or cats. Sassy would probably be best as an only dog or with a male dog for company. She is very loving to her person. She can be good with other people but needs to be introduced properly or she can be inclined to sneakily nip at strangers. She would be good running partner. Sassy has been waiting a while for just the right home, are you it?
Watch out, this "bandit" will steal your heart. Bandit is a 10-12 year old Border Collie. She was found as a stray and never claimed. How sad is that? This sweet old gal gets around well, but is a bit on the hard of hearing side. She would love a retirement yard to call her own. Wont you open your heart to her? She is good with dogs and cats and should be fine with gentle kids.
Bandit
Donovan
Donovan is a 3 year old red/white Australian Shepherd. This sweet boy didn't have a lot of contact with people prior to coming into rescue so he is a bit shy. However, once he learns to trust a person, Donovan turns into a funny, goofy, loving boy. When Donovan is happy, he just can't stay still. First his butt starts to wiggle, then before you know it - his whole body is wiggling in joy and then he'll start bouncing up and down on his front feet! In addition to petting from his trusted people, Donovan loves treats, runs in an open field, and crazy romps with his canine siblings. He loves to chase a ball, though hasn't quite gotten the hang of bringing it back. Often times he'll jump up as the ball comes down or try to get the ball in other goofy uncoordinated ways that are fun to watch. Donovan prefers a routine schedule and will make sure you keep to it. It does take him some time to adjust to new things and situations, but once he learns his favorite things are involved in the new, he's all happy again. Donovan loves playing with other dogs and seems to do fine with a cat. He has no aggressive tendencies whatsoever. He does require a fenced yard and we feel he would do best with another dog in the home. Donovan is neutered and current on vaccinations. Do you have a place in your heart for this special guy? Guarantee his wiggly goofy happy self will keep a smile on your face.
Yukon is a 4 year old Australian Shepherd/Australian Cattledog mix. So far Yukon has turned out to be a big loving Teddy bear. I can't find much to complain about him. He chases the cats but is not aggressive. The old story, they run he chases. He is already getting along with my female Cocker Spaniel (she puts him into place if he gets too "close" and my male Chihuahua. He doesn't want to be the Alpha male. He is clearly afraid of my husband but already it is better than yesterday. He barks if someone approaches the house. He loves to be combed and it will be a daily routine. He flinches when I throw a ball or if he is touched too sudden!. He will regain trust in short time I believe. He has not attempted to jump fences. He is definitely smart and walks on a leash. Even if he pulls hard at the beginning of a walk, he settles in. He says hi (paw)! He just needs a lot of loving touch and he will be such a winner!! He really is a very beautiful dog!!
Mickey
Mickey is 4 year old Australian Shepherd mix, possibly with Great Pyrenees. He has beautiful sable coloring and is a sweet soul. He has a larger size frame and should weigh about 60-65 lbs. Great with other dogs. Chases cats. Very sweet and affectionate but does not like to be roughly handled. Housetrained. Neutered and current on vaccinations.
Ranier
Ranier is a 3 year old Australian Shepherd. He hears and sees fine. He is a larger frame aussie, maybe 50 lbs or just under. He is active and attentive. Ranier would do best with an aussie experienced handler. He is good with most people if introduced correctly, but can get defensive if approached aggressively or abruptly. He is good with dogs and will be okay with cats that don't run. Ranier is neutered and current on vaccinations.
Cookie
Cookie is a 7 year old Border Collie/Labrador Retriever mix. She is good with kids and cats and fine with dogs that respect her space. She loves water, toys, and cuddling! She is an active girl who enjoys hiking and playing in the hose. She is wild about her ball and loves to play fetch. Cookie is spayed and current on vaccinations.
Gunner, a beautiful, 4 yr old Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler male dog-one blue-brown eye/one brown, is a great dog. He is crate trained, does pretty well on a leash, stays in a yard (unless u leave the gate open), and good with kiddos (we have 4 aged 2-11). He is a good dog, but stubborn...if you tell him to lay down, he may or may not do it. He has not been socialized a bunch so he is wary of strangers....until he has had time to know they are okay..same with dogs. He barks at strangers and other dogs but once you tell him it is okay he usually backs down and is fine. Our problem is he has too much energy for us living in town....
Sebastien
Sebastien is a 4 year old Australian Shepherd mix with a tail. He is housetrained and likes to play with balls and other toys. Sebastien is a good hiking buddy and while not over the top around the house, can keep up with you for a nice long hike. He would like to chase horses and cats so would do best without that option. Sebastien is neutered and current on vaccinations. Sebastien loves his people but can be pretty protective around strangers so needs a home that understands reactivity and is willing to continue to work with him to manage those behaviors.
Gunner
Yukon
Lincoln
Lincoln, a bearded collie/corgi mix, is now 1 year old, and has he learned a lot in the past few months! This little guy remains active and energetic, with a love of life that just puts a smile on the face of every one he meets. He can be playful and mischievous, and wants nothing more than to be a companion. Ignore him at your peril, he'll steal a sock, tug on your sleeve, or bark to get your attention. He likes to be a part of what ever you are doing, and all the time with this adorable smile on his face. Lincoln is very treat and toy motivated and loves to work for a reward. Treats and toys can be used to manage and redirect just about all of his obsessive behaviors. Lincoln is at his golden happiest best when it is just him and his human. He loves to play with other dogs, but his non-stop wanting to play can irritate even the most patient of dogs. Lincoln would do best in a home that is use to active, intelligent working dogs, and will need a steady owner that won't give in (much) to his impish ways and who will enjoy play time (he'll tolerate almost anything if you make it playful and fun). A crate is essential - both as a quiet space for down time in the house and while traveling, as he is light and motion sensitive.
Dylan
Missy
Missy continues to be a happy if somewhat anxious girl. She is fast fast fast and agile. she can retrieve a ball if she has another dog doing same. Recall is okay but not yet 100 percent. She can sit and lie down does okay with wait. Stay is barely in her vocabulary. She is smart and learns quickly. She does well with most other dogs- little grouchy feisty dogs make her nippy. Missy is very mouthy and may bite at clothing or air nip hands (NO CHILDREN). She need to be carefully watched with new people- the more she likes them the more likely she is to be inappropriate. She settles eventually but is slow to trust. She is motion sensitive. She does very poorly with staying down for greetings and wants to perch up on your lap, or on her back legs. She is generally good at amusing herself, playing by herself or catching flies and moths. It is beautiful to see her run! She hops and leaps she runs and plays! She is a fun girl. She is not reliable around cats, she will be good one minute and chase the next. She is okay on tie down and kennels reluctantly but settles fine. She walks fairly well on leash but may lunge or try to get you to play leash tug of war (I don't play that game, I ignore until she stops). She wants to be a good girl mostly but does have an impish side. That is both endearing and a bit tedious. She makes dog friends quickly and avoids kids. Overall she is a good dog for an experienced handler who wants a young dog with a bit of an overly mouthy way of communicating. She likes to please and cuddles nicely.
Rook
Rook is a fun loving and active dog. He will be a year old on August 1st. His mother is a purebred Border Collie and it is presumed that his father is a Yellow Lab, although he could have some husky. Rook loves to chew on a good bone or go for a jog. He loves to swim and is an amazing companion. Rook knows how to sit, lay, stay, will wait to eat, and is completely kennel trained as well as potty trained. Rook needs a home with a strong/comfortable owner. He does not do well with other dogs and needs to be in a one dog only family. He is incredibly loving and will always stay by your side proud to be your dog. Rook is neutered and current on vaccinations.
Tilly
Tilly is a 1 year old Smoothcoat Border Collie mix. Tilly has made great progress. She was somewhat shy and reserved upon arrival at her foster home but no more. After a short adjustment period, Tilly is outgoing, friendly, and loves to be around her people. This petite girl at 30 pounds is a smooth-coat border collie mix, born ~November 2012, who loves to play fetch and is great at returning the Frisbee or ball. Tilly is house and crate trained and is learning some of the basics. Tilly does great around other resident dogs. Tilly is a moderate to active girl with a great off switch. She will do best in a home that will continue with her socialization, basic obedience, along with both physical and mental stimulation. She is slowly being introduced to the resident, dog-savvy cats to evaluate if she can peacefully co-exist with cats. She may be a little too interested in cats to live safely with them unless they were super dog savvy and the humans were very vigilant and proactive in teaching her not to bother them – the same is probably true for other small creatures. Until further evaluation can be made, a cat-free home is best. Tilly is spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on vaccinations.
Bailey the Black Lab
Bailey turned 2 in January. She is good with cats. She is a lab mix. She is protective when it comes to new people, but is very friendly after she sees that the new person was accepted by us. My daughter plays with bailey and bailey plays back, bailey loves to play with children, but should go to a home without small children as she likes to nip at heels when there is a high level of activity. Another downfall for bailey would be how she barks/bites at tires. Bailey loves the water, car rides, walks, playing ball and any family activity. Bailey is spayed, house trained and current on vaccinations.
Wrigley
Wrigley is a 4 year old neutered Australian Shepherd with a tail. Wrigley's disposition is sort of "grumpy old man" mixed with "silly puppy." He likes going for walks and hanging out, but likes to do things in his own way and at his own pace. Wrigley would do best in a home with no cats and no children. Doesn't he look better all cleaned up and groomed?
Sadie
Sadie is a Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. She takes more after the golden side and is a mellow, cuddly companion. Approximate age is 1.5 years old weighing about 55 pounds. She does very well on a leash and loves walks. She plays daily with many other dogs in my apartment complex’s dog park and so far has gotten along with all the varying breeds there (from a pit-bull mix to dachshunds). She was very timid at first, but has warmed up and has gained a lot of confidence over the last 3 months, but remains timid around some men. Sadie hasn’t been in contact with cats or many kids while I’ve had her, but she’s such a gentle spirit, that I don’t think she’d have any issues with either. When I first brought her home, she was naughty and chewed the corners of some of my baseboards, but hasn’t kept that behavior up. Other than that, she hasn’t exhibited destructive behavior. She does love attention and to be petted. She’s loves being brushed. She loves to snuggle and sleep on my bed with me. She is crate trained, knows the word kennel and goes into her kennel daily (willingly) during the day while I’m at work. I always put a chew toy of some sort in there for her. I think Sadie will do very well in a variety of homes, but does need someone who understands her fear of men and is willing to be patient and work with her on that.
Tippy
Tippy is a wonderful, playful young dog. Tippy is a 2 year old tricolor English Shepherd. He is very bright and very trainable. He responds very well to praise and love. He is not very interested in treats. Tippy is adorable and beautiful. He thinks he is a lap dog and right now thinks he needs to have constant attention. He loves to play and will entertain himself with toys. . He is not good on recall at this time. He barks at the cats. Tippy would be a great agility prospect, hiking partner or running buddy. He has a lot of energy but is good in the house. He has been neutered, up to date on shots and doing well with house training. He wants a forever home and someone to love.
Wheeler-Adoption Pending
Who wants a running buddy? This super handsome tri-colored Aussie is a wonderfully sweet high energy boy! Wheel is currently working on his basic manners. Knows sit and stay, and is super treat oriented. He is trying real hard to not jump up, but he just can’t help himself! He is estimated to be 3 years old, but has the goofy personality of a pup. He weighs in at a whopping 56 lbs! I have had him a week, and he has only had two accidents in the house and those were on the first day. Wonderful with other dogs; not recommended for young children due to his energy level, or cats…will chase.
Nell
Nell is a 1-2 year old red/white border collie. She is a sweet, loving girl. She would probably do best with a quiet home as she is easily stimulated. She is about 38 lbs, so fairly small. She is good with dogs but would probably chase cats. She is neutered and current on vaccinations.
Smart, active, fun, who could ask for more? Rambler is neutered and current on vaccinations. Rambler is a nearly 1 yr. old beautiful male Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler). May be a mix as he is on the large side for a heeler, about 19 inches at the shoulder. Personality wise, he is a heeler. He is energetic, loving, faithful, loyal and fun. He is house broke (did not even do a territorial mark when he arrived!), knows sit and down and is now crate trained and stays off the furniture. He has been respectful of the home and shoes, no chewing issues (raw hides are always available to him). We are working on other commands. He is also learning Frisbee and loves it! He does very well off leash and does not seem to have any interest in chasing cars. Rambler gets along well with other dogs, is happy to take his place in the pack. He is good with my grand children they are ages 8 and up. He does not have the classic sharp pitch of a heeler's bark, he has a very low voice, and does not over use it. He would make a wonderful pet for an active family. And did I mention that he's beautiful??!!
Ethel
Ethel is a 3 year old Australian Cattledog. She comes from a background of being feral so is very special needs and will need a patient person to work with her to build her trust. She is good with other dogs. Ethel does require a fenced yard. She would prefer a home that is quiet and no small children. Ethel is current on vaccinations and is spayed.
Rose is a 1 year old spayed female Border Collie mix. She is fairly small, about 40 lbs. She is very loving and affectionate to her person. She is housetrained. Rose will do best with an experienced handler as she is somewhat reactive to strangers and tends to bark at them. She is also possessive of her person around other dogs. But she is a fun companion and snuggle buddy.
Rose
Rambler
Razzle
Razzle is a gorgeous, sweet 5 year old Border Collie. He is a loving dog that is generally good with other dogs and does okay with cats. He is good with older children. Razzle has separation anxiety and would do best in a home where people are home a lot or where he can go with them. Razzle is neutered and current on vaccinations.
Chief
Chief is an Australian Kelpie/Catahoula mix. He’s a really sweet dog, great with kids, very laid back. I haven’t witnessed any aggression with him. He’s very calm for a being a young dog. He hasn’t been in the house much so I don’t know if he has ever been house trained. He seems to do fine with cats and does well with our other dogs.
Koda
Bella
Dylan is most likely a smoothcoat Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix. He is tall but only weighs 38 lbs. Dylan has a partial tail. He is great with the preteen in the home. He is mostly very quiet, mostly potty trained and a nice dog all the way around. Dylan is neutered and current on vaccinations. Dylan would do best in a home without cats
Lily is a 2 year old Australian Cattledog/Border Collie mix. She was surrendered along with her puppies to a Wyoming shelter and then came to us from there. Lily appears house broken, knows a few commands, gets along with other dogs, sleeps on dog beds, loves attention, and has excellent recall. Another fantastic dog! She does have some separation anxiety and likes to be with her person so should be crated when left. UPDATE: Lily is house broken, knows a few commands, likes to play with other dogs, sleeps on dog beds, loves attention and cuddling with her humans, and has excellent recall. She is a great running companion. Although at first she seemed to have some separation anxiety, she is now left loose in the house and does fine. Another fantastic dog!
Pixie
Pixie is an approximately 1 year old mixed breed - small-but-mighty dog. It's anyone's guess what she is made of but she has some strong herding-breed type of characteristics, and maybe some terrier-type. She is 18.5 lbs and extremely active. She is bright and affectionate, can be a little shy with new people initially but just seems undersocialized. She has strong chase instincts and is extremely agile. She loves dogs and loves to play but they don't all love her because she is a pest. My dogs really like her. She is a charming, busy, and smart little oddball that will need an active and engaged home. I've had her around calm kids and she is friendly but I wouldn't suggest a home with them because of her chase-instinct. I'm going to work with her on channeling it into something productive. She has a lots of drive and interest in toys/tugging. I'd say she is mostly house-trained but she needs to be taken out frequently. I've started her on some basic manners training and am working with her on
play and some foundation agility exercises, impulse control etc.. She has a ton of potential!
Bruiser
Gus
Gus is a sweet, gentle Aussie, who I think is maybe 4-5 years old. He has good manners, he does sit, shake, down, and go to bed. Gus also has a very gentle mouth and is very careful when taking treats out of my hand and show no signs of food aggression. He is good with other dogs, no aggression whatsoever and not much of a barker. When he first came, it seemed that he didn't know how to play with either dog or human, but has started to catch on. Gus does have some fear issues. I'm guessing he was abused, because if people move too fast or catches him off guard he gets very scared and will do submissive peeing sometimes and run to a place he feels safe. He has a hard time trusting that someone is not going to hurt him and it can take a while for him to warm up. He does better when he is outdoors, that where his personality comes out, but he gets nervous indoors. You just have to move slow and be very patient with this boy. His confidence level is getting better every day! This guy is such a gentle soul that just wants to loved!
Lily
Koda is a 1 1/2 year old (birthday Aug 1st) Border Collie/Yellow lab mix. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. He has had some dog classes- obedience and nosework. Sadly Koda's owner has passed away and Koda is seeking an active home where he can be the only dog. Koda enjoys going for walks and running around outdoors. He sleeps well inside at night. Does not like to be bothered when eating. Very sweet when he knows who you are, but sometimes protective against strangers coming into his home.
Snow
Snowball is an 11 years young spayed Border Collie - She is house trained and loves to play with her squeaky tennis ball - she would love to have a family that would play ball - let her chase water out of the hose (one of her very FAVORITE games) and take her for walks.
Bruiser is about a one year old heeler male. He is a very sweet and loving dog, but he does have a lot of worry to him. We aren't sure what happened to him, but he does get scared of new people. However, he is about as loyal a heeler as you will find once he bonds to you. He is a one person dog at it's best! He is extremely smart and really fun to be around. He loves to cuddle (once he knows you) and when he gets excited he really smiles! He needs someone who is willing to work with him during the transition period to bond with him, and then help him continue to get more confident with strangers. He probably wouldn't do well in a really busy home, and would love to be with his person as much as possible. He rides well in the car and loves to go to town! He also enjoys a ranch setting, but is not an exceptionally high energy dog, but pretty average cattle dog so will go as long as you want him to. He is worried about all new people, but does seen to warm up to women a little faster than men. Bruiser is house broken and does well with all other dogs. Hasn't been tested around cats, chickens, or kids.
Jack is a 9 month old heeler cross. He is full of life and energy! He has a smile on his face at all times, and absolutely loves people. The shelter he came from said he has successfully been around kids and cats, and he really is a gentle soul. However, despite his best efforts, he is a bit of a bull in a china shop, with long legs and body that he can’t quite control yet. We expect him to grow into himself that way! You can flip him over, grab his legs or tail, and poke at him without him getting upset, in fact, he’s just happy for the attention! So far he isn’t nippy like many heeler crosses. He is a good guard dog with a big bark, though he only uses it when someone new is coming home. He would bond strongly to a family and has a ton of love to give. He needs a lot of exercise, and if you left him unattended he would definitely chew or dig. But he is very easy to manage with a crate at night and training and exercise. He really likes to please and learns patterns quickly. He would do best with someone that would let him run all out daily, and continue his obedience training (or agility, or anything that stimulates both his mind and body). It is not hard to ask Jack to sit next to you for long periods of time, he loves to be with you, but he needs to know that your guidance and leadership is important. Once he does, he is happy to stay at your feet quietly for as long as you like. He would not be appropriate for someone who expects him to entertain himself out of a crate for long periods of time, as like most young boys, he would get into trouble! He also needs more than one or two walks a day. He needs time to stretch his legs and run and play. He loves to play with other dogs, but will respect a dog that puts him in his place and says no as emotionally he is pretty submissive. He just comes on strong as he has a lot of personality! There is not one stoic bone in his body and you always know what Jack is thinking…and usually that is when do we get to play next!
Jack
Molly
Molly is a 5 year old Spaniel/Herding Mix. She is a sweet, loving girl who would be a great therapy dog. She is great with kids. Easy going and mellow. She does very well going to work on a daily basis. She does have a little separation anxiety and would do best if crated when left. Molly is spayed and current on vaccinations.
Eli
Logan
Dodge
Price
Zoey
Price is a 5 year old red/white Australian Shepherd. He is good with dogs, cats, and kids. He is a bit overweight right now but should be about 45 lbs when he catches up with his New Year's resolutions.
Harry
Harry is a 10 month old Australian Cattledog. Handsome sweet boy.
Dodge is a 1 year old Border Collie mix. He hasn't had much experience yet, so would love a home that would take him to classes and teach him what life is all about.
Zoey is a pretty 8 month old spayed female border collie. She likes to play and is high energy. She has a few neurological issues which you will notice give her an odd gait and possibly inhibit her vision in one eye. But don't make the mistake of thinking those will slow her down- all she knows is that she is a border collie and there are things to do and fun to have.
Eli is a 1 year old English Shepherd. He is a little darling, snuggle buddy, fur baby, still very much a puppy loves to play and romp around, but seems to have a decent off switch. Crates nicely at bedtime, so far he has been allowed free roam of the downstairs through out the day & is behaving himself and the only time I crate him is if I am out or going to bed.
Logan is a lovely friendly dog with lots of energy and fun in him. He is very smart and would do well as a running partner, frisbee or agility dog. He walks well on a leash but does try to chase the bunnies. He has been appropriate in the house with no accidents but he is on a schedule of potty time and does well with that. He is crated at night and when I am gone for long periods of time and does fine. Logan likes his toys but hasn't chewed on things he isn't supposed to. I don't know about cats as I don't have any. I think he would do fine with kids and want to play with them. I think the only problem with very small kids is if he would knock them down. All in all a lovely dog who thrives on love and wants to be petted by you and cuddle. Really a great dog!
Artie
Artie is a 1 year old happy, fun black and white aussie.
