Hamul came to us weighing 20 pounds more then he should and his foster mom decided he was on the New Spirit Biggest Loser program. His foster mom started him on walks and lots of swimming over the summer. With his foster sister Lacey and his foster mom keeping him active, Hamul has lost almost 16 pounds and it shows, he is also growing back his beautiful coat. Hamul is one of those long, thick coated Aussies.

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.

She is good in a car and walks well on a leash. She knows some commands and is okay with other dogs, in a neutral area, in other words good at the dog park, but probably should be the only dog in the home.
Sundown is ready for the forever home she so deserves. She will play with toys all day and is eager to please. She is a bit velcro so expect her to follow you everywhere you go.
Sundown is being fostered in the Chicago Area. Complete an application at New Spirit today. Reference NS 0627
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.
Kernel is being fostered in the Chicago area. To adopt this unique red merle Aussie, complete an application at New Spirit today. Reference NS 0625.
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!
