Trip (Protege #0184) is a 5 month old Australian Shepherd mix who will capture your heart with his adorable puppy antics and sweet face! Trip is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, and on heartworm and flea preventatives.

Trip had a rough start to his young life, but was rescued by a neighbor, and has now come into foster care until he finds his forever home. Trip is a little shy and quiet in new situations, but quickly comes out of his shell and is all puppy. He is very people-oriented, and usually wants to be wherever you happen to be, and he loves to cuddle. In his foster home he gets along well with the four resident dogs, and wants to play with the two resident cats, who aren’t so keen to play with him. Trip needs lots of redirection at this point in his young life to be respectful of the cats. He does not show any inclination to hurt them, but really wants to get them to play with him.

Trip loves having other dogs around to play with him. He is working on housetraining and crate training, and is making great progress. He currently is able to go all night without any middle of the night trips outside. Trip fusses in the crate if you are nearby, but once you leave the house, he is quiet in his crate. He wasn’t sure what a leash was when he arrived into rescue, and so he is working on leash walking. Trip is a typical puppy with lots of energy, and will need to go to a home where his new family has the time to devote to exercising him and to teaching him the manners he will need to become a wonderful adult companion.

He is being fostered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. If you might be interested in learning more about this dog, please email Jayne at mcjayne@yahoo.com. While we welcome your questions about this dog, all adopters are required to complete a Protege Adoption Application before being considered to adopt a Protege dog; our adoption fee is $200.

Meet Taree, a 3 month old blue merle female Lethal White Australian Shepherd. She will probably grow up to be about 40 pounds. She is deaf and will need a family that wants to work with a dog with a disability.

Taree is a very strong willed girl, she does guard her food and will need patience to over come that problem, she also tends to be selfish with toys, again this is a resource issue. Taree rides well in a car and is working on leash manners. She does get along with other dogs, but we suggest you bring the family dog to make sure they are willing to play together.

    My name is Abby and I will be 2 years old in June. I am a small spayed female Australian shepherd. I only weigh about 25 pounds so people think I’m a Mini Aussie.

    I am missing my left eye as it never developed as a pup, but that doesn’t stop me! I love to play ball and play with kids. I love my human kid who is 7 years old, I’d go everywhere with him if I could. If you let me I’ll sleep on the couch and even on your bed with you. I love to run around the yard, and just run, but when I want inside I come and sit by the door for you to let me in.

    I am little protective of my crate and my food when other dogs are around but will allow them to be near me once I’m corrected. I’d do best if I could be your only dog but I do get along with other dogs. I love playing ball and playing tug of war. I’m housebroken, and when I need to go outside I’ll tell you. I do bark when people come to the door. I know commands like, sit, stay, leave it, watch me, let’s go, box, and come. I’m up to date on my shots and am in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

    ADOPTED: Diesel (Protege #0183) 1.5 Year Old Blue Merle Male Australian Shepherd Iowa

    Posted on by

    Let me introduce myself. My name is Diesel (Protege #0183) and I am almost 1-1/2 years old. I am a medium energy, neutered blue merle Australian Shepherd. My sister and I came into Protege after a sad time: my human mom died of cancer and my dad couldn’t keep us any longer.

    [frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Diesel-large2-391x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Diesel-large2.jpeg"]Diesel (Protege #0183)[/frame_center]

    I am about 64 pounds of loving. My foster mom says that I need to lose a few pounds, though, and we are working on that. I am a happy-go-lucky guy and am what you would call a velcro dog. I will either be right by your side or within eye’s reach. I love my people and don’t want them to be too far away from me. I would really enjoy snuggling up next to you on the sofa if you’ll let me, but will settle for lying on the floor next to your feet. At night I would also love to snuggle up in bed next to you and I will be really glad to help keep you warm! If you are a person who works out at home, I will be right by your side like a sideline cheerleader throughout your routine. My favorite part is if you are on the floor, so that I can try to sneak in an occasional kiss.

    When I first came to the rescue, my foster mom had to push and shove me into the crate. I really didn’t want to go in there; but after a couple of days of that, I decided to make life easier on both of us, so now I will go right into the crate when she asks me. I am completely housebroken. I am only crated when my foster mom is gone for long periods of time. I know the commands sit and shake and am learning down.

    [frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Diesel-large3-400x299.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Diesel-large3.jpeg"]Diesel (Protege #0183)[/frame_center]

    I love meeting people. My foster mom laughs at me because my butt wiggles and my little tail wags like crazy when I see people. We went to Petco recently, and I loved seeing all the people. I enjoy playing with my foster brother. I would prefer to wrestle with him but he doesn’t like to do that, so we settle for playing tug. I love to run and play in the snow and run along the fence line with the neighbor dogs. I do get along well with other dogs. I will bark at them but I’m just saying hi and talking to them.

    My foster mom laughs at me when she sees me watching TV. Yes it is true, I do like to watch a little bit of TV, especially when there are animals on there. Sometimes I’ll stand up in front of the TV to watch it and when the animals leave the screen I look behind the TV to see if they went back there. I haven’t found them yet.

    To give you an idea of what great dogs my sister Harley and I are, the foster family who was keeping sis, adopted her after just a few days! They knew an awesome dog when they saw one; I am just as cool as she is!

    I am up to date on my shots, and currently on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives. I am being fostered near Iowa City, Iowa. If you might be interested in learning more about me, please email Jayne at mcjayne@yahoo.com.

    While we welcome your questions about this dog, all adopters are required to complete a Protege Adoption Application before being considered to adopt a Protege dog; our adoption fee is $200.

    Crosby would make a fantastic agility or flyable dog with some dedicated training and direction. He has been seem actually jumping over his 3 foster brother and sisters in one hop!

    Crosby is learning to walk on a leash, he plays well with other dogs, ignores cats, loves anyone one with 2 legs, and rides okay in a car. He will crate very well. He does tend to guard his food, but we think that too can be overcome and his foster mom and dad are busy training him.

    (Protege #0188) Winnie 4 Year Old Blue Merle Australian Shepherd Female Iowa

    Reply

    Meet Winnie (Protege #0188)! She is a 4 year old blue merle Australian Shepherd who loves to fetch! She is very obedient and would make the perfect addition to an active home with kids. Winnie came to Protégé overweight, and while she has lost about 5 lbs., she needs to lose a few more; she currently weighs about 45 lbs., so she will be on the smaller side when she gets to her ideal weight.

    [frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Winnie-large-394x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Winnie-large.jpeg"](Protege #0188) Winnie[/frame_center]

    Winnie is crate trained and likes having her crate in new environments, however she does not need it, and has never had problems roaming her foster parents’ house when they are away.

    While Winnie loves children and people, she tends to growl at other dogs. She hasn’t been aggressive at all towards any neighboring dogs but would prefer to be in a one-dog home. She growled at her foster parents’ cats for the first couple days but after working with her she now ignores them, or sniffs curiously.

    [frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Winnie-large1-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Winnie-large1.jpeg"](Protege #0188) Winnie[/frame_center]

    Winnie knows many tricks, and is always eager to learn more. Currently she knows come, sit, shake, lay-down, stay/wait, “go get it” (can be applied to a variety of things), “give it to me,” “Bring it closer,” “go find it,” “kennel up,” “go potty” and give kisses to name a few.

    Winnie is excellent off-leash and stays close. When playing in the field near their home her foster parents can tell her to go home and she goes to the door. They can also tell her to leave her ball outside and she puts it away outside.

    Winnie really wants to get adopted! Winnie is up-to-date on her vaccinations and is ready to go to her forever home. Willie will add a ton of fun to your family. She is being fostered in Iowa City, Iowa. If you might be interested in learning more about this dog, please email Jayne at mcjayne@yahoo.com.
