NS 0576 Chuman (Storm)

At just over 20lbs, Chuman (Storm) is either a larger mini aussie or an aussie mix. Chuman (Storm) has a beautiful blue merle coat, which will require attention to keep that handsome look he so deserves.

He loves walks, riding in the car, writhing on the bed and playing.  He is house trained and crates voluntarily at night.

Sounds perfect, right?  Unfortunately, Chuman (Storm) came to us fearful of people.  Time and patience has made him learn to trust people one at a time.   He is still leery of strangers and will not let anyone he doesn’t know touch him.  He would be perfect in a home with another dog to help him feel confident and where there aren’t a lot of new people coming and going.  For this reason, we don’t recommend him for a house with children.  For the right people with a little patience, Chuman (Storm) will be a wonderful companion and playmate.

Fergus and Raine (Petraits attached) are extremely gentle brother / sister, one-year-old, 35-pound, crystal blue-eyed, white Australian Shepherds looking for loving homes.

Fergus and Raine

While these two adore each other and would love to live together, they would also do well together or separated in homes with other dogs with whom they can model their behavior after. They are very shy, playful, wiggly, loving, snugly and docile. They love to play with their toys, and also enjoy being mellow lap dogs.

Since these dogs were born deaf, here’s a web site to learn more about how to train deaf dogs: http://www.deafdogs.org/training/

They can learn to follow hand signals, and rely on their sight and smell more heavily.

Fergus and Raine are crate-trained, housebroken, and great with other dogs. Prior to coming to Project Rescue Chicago, these country bumpkins had never been on leash before, so they are very tentative and resistant but learning. They are very quiet in the home, and would love a fenced-in yard to run and play. They are healthy, spayed/neutered, de-wormed, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm-tested and on preventative.

To meet and possibly adopt Raine and/or Fergus please complete an adoption application at http://www.projectrescuechicago.org/adoption-application/

You can follow up on your application and ask additional questions by contacting info {at} projectrescuechicago(.)org or 312-623-0939. Their adoption fee of $200 each or $350 as a pair benefits the dogs of PRC.

Jager NS 0618

Jager is a healthy young 50lb. male red bi Australian Shepherd around 2 years old. He is loves being close to his “owner”. He has been trained to sit, lie, and knows the meaning of words such as “no” and “down”. He does well in a crate and is not food aggressive (food is out all day for him, no issues with the other dog in the home). He walks well on a leash and does not pull or try to “take off” after other dogs.

He has had no problems with other family dogs, he plays the border collie in his foster home and ignores a Pomeranian. He pays little attention to cats unless they frighten him, then he barks at them. He is well behaved at the dog park and no evidence of aggression besides normal play wrestling with other dogs.

Jager NS 0618

Jager rides well in cars with a reminder that he cannot sit in the front seat. Like most Aussie’s he needs an “alpha”-owner from time to time to remind him of his place in the family pack. He does not like being approached by strange males with objects in their hands, and does not like fireworks or loud booming sounds.

Jager is being fostered in the Peoria Area. Complete an application at New Spirit today. Reference NS 0618
