She was found as a stray on the side of the road, she was horribly matted and very skinny. She is a perfect lady, she rides perfect in a car, walks excellent on a leash and uses the outdoors to go potty.

Abbie gets along with other dogs just fine and could care less about a cat. She is probably a little deaf, but sees fine.

Abbie would be the perfect Aussie for someone that is retired, lives alone and is looking for that perfect, dedicated, devoted companion. She would be fine anywhere, we just think she deserves to be the star of the house and get all the attention she can handle as she has lived a long time and is now without that forever home, plus she needs someone that will never let her out of their sight so she knows she is loved.

Kernel (Nick) NS 0625

Kernel is a red merle male Australian Shepherd, around 1 year old, who came into rescue with his sister Epoc (Shadow) and both must have had excellent socialization. Kernel will politely greet strangers and expect a pat on the head, he then runs back to his foster pack of 3 other Aussies. So Kernel is learning all the right things about what is expected of an Australian Shepherd.

Kernel enjoys other dogs, ignores cats, and is good with children. He loves car rides and crates well and walks on a leash just fine.

He does have a strange protrusion that sticks out from his Aussie rear-end, we are told it’s a tail, something common in those other breeds, he seems fine with it and actually will wave it from side to side to show just how happy and secure he is.

It’s Great To See Them Grow

Say hello to Sam, he was a mini Australian Shepherd that was down in Paris Illinois. He was dumped because he would nip at the child in the home, and we beleive he was abused and beaten for doing this, since he would shrink away when we tried to measure his height.

He was adopted by a family in Southern Illinois, she gave him time, attention, and lots of love, and he has turned into a confident, happy young man. Way to go Sam!
