ADOPTED! Amos Red Merle Aussie Male (NS 0579)
Amos is a very friendly dog who is a few years old with a good sense of curiosity of needing to know what you are doing. He will usually follow you will that typical Aussie eagerness. He seems to have a very well balanced personality: he plays well with other dogs (we don’t know about cats), he rarely barks, does well with children (10 & 12 years old), is outgoing, and soaks up all the attention you want to give him.
He will sometimes try to crawl partway into your lap, just to get a little closer and soak it in better. He’s not afraid to give you a few gently licks, but doesn’t slobber all over you.
He walks pretty well on a leash, but could use some additional training. He will ride okay in a car, but tends to drool a lot, so he will need some help realizing that car rides are cool.
Amos is a medium sized Aussie weighing around 45 pounds. Amos is being fostered in the Chicago area.
To learn more about Amos, complete an application at New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue. Reference NS 0579.

Brownie – 5 Month Old Red Tri Australian Shepherd NS 0581 ADOPTED!
Meet Brownie, who is a 5 month old red tri. Brownie is ready for a home, he is fully vetted and neutered, he loves girls a lot, as he has a small fan club at his foster home. He also gets along well with guys.
Brownie has a fantastic coat, it is very thick and full of deep, red colors and textures. He takes a bath great, in fact he loves water extremely well, whether it’s a bath or the lake on his walk, the water bowl in the kitchen, he seems to have a large love of water.
Brownie loves to snuggle and be in your lap. He is learning what a crate is for, we think whom ever had him before was not real nice to him and used the crate as punishment. We are working on teaching him a crate is great place. He is also learning where the bathroom is.
He gets along with other dogs well and even the cat, though he is into chasing and herding the cat at times.
He walks on a leash well, but will occasionally move from side to side and loves to ride in the car. He actually is very velcro and will be right behind you, sometimes stepping on the back of your foot.
Brownie is learning some basic commands like sit, stay, lay and is ready for that family.
Brownie is currently being fostered in Bloomington, IL. Please complete an application at New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue. Reference NS 0581

A Plea For Foster Homes
am receiving 1 to 2 requests a day to rescue an Australian Shepherd, many are in Hi-Kill Shelters, meaning they have 3 to 10 days to be claimed by a rescue. many are just good little guys and girls that had owners that didn’t want them anymore, so no fault of their own, they will be dead by the end of the week.
]
If you think you have time and space to help foster and Aussie, PLEASE contact us, or better yet do an application and get on board to foster this great breed today. If you are thinking of adopting, what better way then to kick the tires and see if instead the reward is to save a life and help another family find that best friend.

RIO Black Bi Aussie Male NS 0577 ADOPTED
Meet Rio, he is around 1 year old, he has one of the shinest black coats we have ever seen.
Rio walks well on a leash, has no problems with cats, gets along great with kids, and adults, be it a man or a women. He loves to play with other dogs, and he loves to go for car rides.
Rio is shy though when he first meets you, he isn’t the type to jump on you.
Rio is housebroken, and will crate but doesn’t need one when left alone.
He loves to snuggle on the couch or lay on the floor at your feet. Rio will need a home that is willing to let him come out of his shell when he first arrives. Once he knows you are his home, he is all about you.
Please complete an application with New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue. Reference NS 0577

Dazi Australian Shepherd Mix NS 0578 ADOPTED!
Caution: This 4 month old blue merle Aussie mix could steal your heart!
Dazi – pronounced “Daisy” – is a high energy pup who is full of kisses and has never met a stranger.
She has been spending her days playing with the other dogs in her foster home, going for walks in the woods, and learning some commands including “sit” and “come.” She gets along with cats, rides well in a car, and enjoys settling in with a nice bone for a good, long chew. She is UTD on all shots but not yet spayed.
She walks well on a leash, other than a little pulling, and is working hard on her potty training. Dazi also has great athletic ability and would likely do well at agility.
At the end of a busy day of play, Dazi sleeps quietly in her crate all night.
Dazi is being fostered in Mundelein IL Please complete an application with New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue Reference NS 0578

Get Prepared For an Aussie Invasion
We took in over 3 new Aussies this weekend, and adopted out a couple. I hope to post new BIO’s in the next few days after we figure out what we have. All are excellent guys and girls, that are in the puppy range of their age.
Also we will be at the Tri-Shark in Hudson Illinois on June 5th, selling magnets, bandanas and a chance to win a Portrait of your Aussie, or cat! More details to follow this week. Hope to see some of our adopters from ARPH and New Spirit there to celebrate great causes.
