Just A Dash Will Do
Say hello to Dash, a striking Blue Merle Australian Shepherd we have coming in this week. He will be fostered in Chicago Illinois. We will have more on this great boy later next week.
Say Hello To Romeo ADOPTED!
This boy is coming in this weekend, but will be heading to the East Coast as we are without foster home space (please consider signing up to be a volunteer for New Spirit as a volunteer) and as such must grab a plane ride (we hope with PilotnPaws)

Skye – New Spirit # 0572 ADOPTED
Well, hello there! Are you perhaps interested in a beautiful white Aussie like me? My name is Skye…perhaps they named me that because my eyes are a beautiful blue, you know, like the sky on a clear day?
I have been traveling, that’s for sure. I was discovered in a shelter in Traverse City, MI, and am now staying in Greyslake, IL…that is until I find my forever home. This traveling sure wears me out. Traverse City is a great play for tourists, but trust me, the shelter there is not a place you want to check in at for any extended time!
Problem is, I am a double merle/lethal white (something to do when 2 blue or red merles are your Mom and Dad, who knew?). I am not deaf, like many double merles and I see just fine, though I have something called “tunnel vision” in my one eye, the other is fine. I don’t see any tunnels, but maybe you have one?!
I love people, stuffed toys, you name it! I am happy all day long and wag this big tail of mine constantly just so you know I appreciate everything you are doing for me. I weigh 35 pounds, and am heartworm negative. If you are looking for a wonderful Lady in a nice white dress to go on walks with, or throw a ball for then look no further, here I am!
Contact my Dad, I mean my sponsor, David Thurman by email at david.e.thurman {at} gmail(.)com He would love to talk to you about me, just call after 5 PM if you are calling.

Terra – New Spirit # 0571 ADOPTED!
Excuse me…over here…I am the one sitting in the corner. Pssttt…can I whisper in your ear? I am a bit shy so you will need to listen closely….
My name is Terra, and I am a 4 month old red-tri female. I came to New Spirit from what looks like a puppy mill in Missouri. Have you heard about those puppy mills? Not a good place. There was no one there to love me, so I just stayed in a corner most of the day where I felt safe.
But things are looking up. Now I am in Mundelein, IL and these really great people are helping me search for a forever home. They tell me that there I will have a person to cuddle up with, and give kisses to. I can’t wait!! I enjoy bones, and other dogs, and I am getting to know the people here so that is all good too. I am told they have another puppy coming! I can’t wait to tell her all about my plans for a new family, where I want my bed, what color collar to get me, what toys I will like the best, and I sure hope I get a big brother or big sister! I am so excited that New Spirit said they would help me find a new home.
Contact my Dad, I mean my sponsor, David Thurman by email at david.e.thurman {at} gmail(.)com He would love to talk to you about me, just call after 5 PM if you are calling.

Meet Splash (Protege #0147) ADOPTED
Splash was given her name when she came into rescue because she looks like someone splashed white paint on her face. But since being in her foster home, We’ve come to think of it being an accurate name for her because wherever she goes she makes a big splash!
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:
Splash is around 1 year old, up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed, and on preventatives. If you might be interested in learning more about Splash, please contact Jayne at mcjayne {at} yahoo(.)com. Continue reading
