Redcliffe is a low energy, Velcro Australian Shepherd. She can get around just fine but may need a boost into the car. She walks great on leash, and is respectful of other dogs. She loves to be with you and will sit at your side while reading or keep you company while in the garden. Redcliffe is a little hard of hearing but that does not stop her or keep her from staying in range.

Redcliffe is ready for a home that would let her finish her years in peace, a home with rough or overly playful dogs would be too much for her at this age in her life. She would do fine when the grandkids came over and she is on Proin to help control her bladder.

Everyone Is Busy for Christmas

We are so busy we have decided to put some of the Aussies to good use and even better work.

Here an Aussie is busy answering all the emails we get on a daily basis.

Here we found some Aussies doing Christmas Scarf modeling.

NS 0631 Bono Needs Your Help for Hip Replacement Surgery

Meet Bono, a 1 year old black tri Australian Shepherd who for no fault of his own came to our rescue. His owner said they couldn’t care and afford him anymore, he had a rash, and he was thought to have those nasty worms.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Bono2-400x265.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Bono2.jpg"]NS 0631 Bono Needs Your Help[/frame_center]

Once we settled Bono in and got him tested for worms, as well as we had him neutered, all the first week of his arrival and to find he had Giardia. With the nasty bug and his neuter surgery, his foster mom noticed he was very sluggish and not as active as he should be, even with all his ailments. We recommend he head in for a checkup. We were expecting the worst, and hoping for the best, but we got the worst.

Bono needs a total hip replacement, both hips, and it will be expensive. He is a great dog, he is considerate of all dogs he meets, he wants to run and play, but without any actual hip sockets, he struggles and wears out quickly. We are going to proceed with this surgery and give this boy a normal life.

If you could reach into your pocket, maybe skip one present for the family and instead send it to New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue, we would be very indebted, as would Bono so he can run and play with all the other guys and girls in his world.

NS 0658 Shayla Update On Her ProgressBlue Merle Female Australian Shepherd Illinois

Our little girl Shayla who was shot, then attacked when she went to a farm house for help, has been battling to save the back leg that was shot. After a long journey across Iowa that spring day bank in May, to now, we are still in a struggle to keep her as a 4-legged little girl.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Shayla-Shadow-26-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Shayla-Shadow-26.jpg"]Shayla After 1st Surgery[/frame_center]

Shayla is around 1 year old, she has the heart of a real trooper, she is always affectionate and loves everyone in her foster home, she gets along great with her 2 foster sisters, sometimes even sharing a bed.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Shayla-Shadow-74-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Shayla-Shadow-74.jpg"]Shayla Shares a Bed[/frame_center]

Shayla also has 2 human foster brothers an she treats them like a real sister would, hanging out, and playing, but they refuse to do tea-time with her, but we will work on that, come on guys, she’s just a girl ;)

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Shayla-Shadow-81-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Shayla-Shadow-81.jpg"]Come On Guys, Lets Play Barbies![/frame_center]

We have put Shayla through numerous surgeries to try to save her leg, she has been in a cast for almost 12 weeks, but the latest X-rays didn’t look promising, infect there seemed to be no bone growth at all, this whole time she has been great and runs and plays with her sisters as if she was 100%.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Shayla-Shadow-29-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Shayla-Shadow-29.jpg"]The Girls Get Together[/frame_center]

So now we come to a crossroads with Shayla, our next option is to remove her leg, but we also know once it’s gone, it’s gone for good, so being the optimist we are, and her doctor feeling she has a chance, performed a new procedure this week. They are trying to revitalize the bone ends, they have put a ceramic brace around her leg to restrict any and all movement.

Keep our little girl in your prayers, and if you can find it to help defray all her medical costs, please donate today to Shayla’s medical fund.

Azel and his Brave Survival Attitude. Our Special Australian Shepherd in Illinois

NS 0755 Azel

Meet Azel, a 9 year old Australian shepherd who came to us at Aussie Rescue IL from a comment at our Ottawa Bark in the Park, I was manning the booth and was told of an Aussie that was found on the side of the road, he had been hit by a car, and he had suffered facial injuries, bad enough that surgery was required to save his jaw, it was wired back into place. Azel survived that incident and was recovering in a rescue in the Ottawa/Peru area, Illinois Valley Animal Rescue.

Chris contacted me and told me she had this brave Australian Shepherd, a blue merle with a tail, and she was hoping a rescue like ours, we specialize in the Aussie, could take him and help him find a forever home, someone that would treat him like a new puppy. All our adopters treat all our Aussies like a new born pup, a real member of the family. So with IVAR covering what was already a $500.00 vet/surgery bill we took him into our rescue with New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue.

Azel had been with his new foster mom for a few weeks and she was alarmed that he would drink lots of water and then “pee a river” which she as a trained vet-technician felt it could be a sign of things to check. After a full blood-work-up, it was discovered that Azel has kidney disease, which is going to require he eat a special diet and take a supplement to give him a life that he could finish out with normal urinary functions and a normal life span, without these 2 items, he would more then likely endue passing away or worse we would have to bring his life to a final chapter, and we want him to have all the chances he deserves, he did survive a car accident.

So we are asking for your help to offset his monthly costs while he is in foster care until we find a family that feels an Aussie like Azel belongs in their home. So open you wallet or purse, and donate something to Azel so he can have a long life and a chance to play with other dogs and his future family.
