Say hello to Keno, a black tri Aussie with some other dog in him just to make him super sweet. Keno is 2 months old, and will be posted for adoption very soon. He is in Indiana, so plan a road trip for this cute little guy.

Say hello to Chew, our new member of the Aussie Rescue team, he is a surrender from Plainfeild IL. He is a 1 year old red merle male with lots of love and lots of energy.

ARPH # 11737 Bandit

Say hi to Bandit, he was an Aussie I personally picked up in Warren County with another Aussie, both were very feral and afraid and our foster mom Kelly has worked with Bandit to get him ready for a home.

Visit the Aussie for Available for Adoption, then select the Illinois Aussies.

Meet Cheri, a red tri Aussie in Iowa that needs a forever home. She probably needs to be the only dog in town, but that means she will give a family all the love a one dog town would need.

Over the next few days, I will be trying some new design elements, for better reading capabilities and compliance with a possible link to ARPH National. So excuse the nose prints while I work on some new ideas.

Meet Livy, she needs a home, and fast or her time will be up, please consider her if you are in the St Louis area.

Livy is a 5 year old spayed female up to date on her shots and heartworm negative. She is on the small side at about 30 pounds and has fit right in at her foster home and loves people and attention. Livy is fully house trained, does fine in the fenced in yard as well as on a leash. She listens very well and knows basic commands such as sit, shake, lay down, and speak. She has a lot of energy and loves playing ball and will bring it back over and over and even knows how to throw the ball with her mouth. Livy is very gentle and would do well in a family with older children. She has done well with the cats in her foster home but sometimes gets moody with the dog. She would do best in a home without other dogs or with a non-dominant dog.
