Let me introduce myself. My name is Diesel (Protege #0183) and I am almost 1-1/2 years old. I am a medium energy, neutered blue merle Australian Shepherd. My sister and I came into Protege after a sad time: my human mom died of cancer and my dad couldn’t keep us any longer.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Diesel-large2-391x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Diesel-large2.jpeg"]Diesel (Protege #0183)[/frame_center]
I am about 64 pounds of loving. My foster mom says that I need to lose a few pounds, though, and we are working on that. I am a happy-go-lucky guy and am what you would call a velcro dog. I will either be right by your side or within eye’s reach. I love my people and don’t want them to be too far away from me. I would really enjoy snuggling up next to you on the sofa if you’ll let me, but will settle for lying on the floor next to your feet. At night I would also love to snuggle up in bed next to you and I will be really glad to help keep you warm! If you are a person who works out at home, I will be right by your side like a sideline cheerleader throughout your routine. My favorite part is if you are on the floor, so that I can try to sneak in an occasional kiss.
When I first came to the rescue, my foster mom had to push and shove me into the crate. I really didn’t want to go in there; but after a couple of days of that, I decided to make life easier on both of us, so now I will go right into the crate when she asks me. I am completely housebroken. I am only crated when my foster mom is gone for long periods of time. I know the commands sit and shake and am learning down.

I love meeting people. My foster mom laughs at me because my butt wiggles and my little tail wags like crazy when I see people. We went to Petco recently, and I loved seeing all the people. I enjoy playing with my foster brother. I would prefer to wrestle with him but he doesn’t like to do that, so we settle for playing tug. I love to run and play in the snow and run along the fence line with the neighbor dogs. I do get along well with other dogs. I will bark at them but I’m just saying hi and talking to them.
My foster mom laughs at me when she sees me watching TV. Yes it is true, I do like to watch a little bit of TV, especially when there are animals on there. Sometimes I’ll stand up in front of the TV to watch it and when the animals leave the screen I look behind the TV to see if they went back there. I haven’t found them yet.
To give you an idea of what great dogs my sister Harley and I are, the foster family who was keeping sis, adopted her after just a few days! They knew an awesome dog when they saw one; I am just as cool as she is!
I am up to date on my shots, and currently on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives. I am being fostered near Iowa City, Iowa. If you might be interested in learning more about me, please email Jayne at mcjayne@yahoo.com.

Meet Winnie (Protege #0188)! She is a 4 year old blue merle Australian Shepherd who loves to fetch! She is very obedient and would make the perfect addition to an active home with kids. Winnie came to Protégé overweight, and while she has lost about 5 lbs., she needs to lose a few more; she currently weighs about 45 lbs., so she will be on the smaller side when she gets to her ideal weight.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Winnie-large-394x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Winnie-large.jpeg"](Protege #0188) Winnie[/frame_center]
Winnie is crate trained and likes having her crate in new environments, however she does not need it, and has never had problems roaming her foster parents’ house when they are away.
While Winnie loves children and people, she tends to growl at other dogs. She hasn’t been aggressive at all towards any neighboring dogs but would prefer to be in a one-dog home. She growled at her foster parents’ cats for the first couple days but after working with her she now ignores them, or sniffs curiously.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Winnie-large1-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Winnie-large1.jpeg"](Protege #0188) Winnie[/frame_center]
Winnie knows many tricks, and is always eager to learn more. Currently she knows come, sit, shake, lay-down, stay/wait, “go get it” (can be applied to a variety of things), “give it to me,” “Bring it closer,” “go find it,” “kennel up,” “go potty” and give kisses to name a few.
Winnie is excellent off-leash and stays close. When playing in the field near their home her foster parents can tell her to go home and she goes to the door. They can also tell her to leave her ball outside and she puts it away outside.
Winnie really wants to get adopted! Winnie is up-to-date on her vaccinations and is ready to go to her forever home. Willie will add a ton of fun to your family. She is being fostered in Iowa City, Iowa. If you might be interested in learning more about this dog, please email Jayne at mcjayne@yahoo.com.

Baloo is an 8 year old purebred Australian Shepherd male. He came from a puppy mill where he was a breeder male most of his life! But he’s been neutered and is now living the good life indoors as a normal house dog. Baloo gets along excellently with kids! He’s even good with other dogs and cats.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Blue-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Blue.jpeg"]NS 0864 Baloo[/frame_center]
Baloo is nearly housebroken and does well in a crate, though sometimes he will sing when he’s crated. His foster dad has been putting him behind a baby gate instead and he does very well that way! He’s a very calm, mellow dude who is medium energy. He loves going for car rides and hanging with his people. Baloo would make an excellent addition to just about any family situation! We initially thought he was completely deaf, but it appears that he does have some hearing. His vision is fine.

Meet Iroh (#0180), a 7 year old, neutered red merle Australian Shepherd. Iroh came to Protégé after his owner became ill and was no longer able to care for him. He is a very well-behaved dog and loves any form of affection. He is very dignified though, and isn’t in your face about it.
For Iroh, there are few things a dog treat and belly rub can’t fix. He is completely housebroken, and while he really does not enjoy being in a crate, will go into it and stay quiet after a few minutes. However, at his foster home he is allowed to wander around loose and there haven’t been any problems. Iroh knows how to sit, stay, and come on command and is great off-leash. He also conveniently answers to the name/word “dog.”
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Iroh-large-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Iroh-large.jpeg"]Iroh (Protege #0180)[/frame_center]
Iroh gets along great with other dogs and ignores cats completely. Iroh LOVES one-on-one time with people. He does need to have some dental work done but he doesn’t let it bother him. Iroh exhibits alarm barking but is easily quieted and is never aggressive.
When coming home, Iroh’s foster parents are greeted with great excitement and affection. His exhilaration and enthusiasm has quickly become something they look forward to. While his energy and excitement are fun, they are not over-the-top and he quickly settles down, resting his head on their laps or lying at their feet.
At night Iroh keeps an eye on the house by laying in different areas (i.e. by one door, then on his pillow in the bedroom, then the living room). He loves to cuddle on the couch or in bed if you’ll let him, but is too polite to assume you want him all over your furniture. Wow, what a smart dog!
Iroh has the most stunning eyes. Each eye is two different colors! His left eye is bright blue on bottom and brown on top, while his right eye is brown on bottom and bright blue on top.
If you might be interested in learning more about Iroh, please email Jayne at mcjayne@yahoo.com. While we welcome your questions about this dog, all adopters are required to complete a Protege Adoption Application before being considered to adopt a Protege dog; our adoption fee is $200.
Meet Bandit Bod, and I know the next question, why Bandit Bob? Well he is known to quietly steal the hearts of all the ladies he has met. You see Bob is related to Jesse James (Or at least we were told Jesse James was a Dog!) and so Bob is now known as Bandit Bob. But he is otherwise the gentleman.

Bandit Bob is 6 years old and weighs around 45 pounds. Bandit Bob is great with everyone, he doesn’t bark when someone knocks on the door, he is fine with children, other dogs, cats and even the Guinea Pig in the house. He walks well on a leash and knows where the potty is. Bob also likes to ride in the car.

But with all the great things about Bob, he does have one issue, he is Thunderphobic, and will get very agitated during thunderstorms, and he is medicated for those. He also is not a big fan of the crate, and prefers to be on the floor.

Meet Mr. Burns, he is 1 10 year old blue merle Australian Shepherd, who was probably a puppy mill stud, who is now too old to matter and too damaged (according to the puppy mill) to be of any use to them. You see Mr. Burns was turned in for health reason to a shelter, health reasons that will cost money, and shelters can’t afford to spend money on such niceties as surgeries, they have too many dogs thrown away every day to care for. Mr. Burns was set for euthanization 2 times and each time was spared by the grace and kindness of a shelter manager who was willing to take him into their shelter to buy him 10 more days of life, hoping and praying that someone somewhere would see the value in Mr. Burns, and take him into rescue and attend to his needs. We saw him, and we saw his potential, dirty, matted and stained coat and all, he was of great value to us, we knew he would be a great Australian Shepherd, a credit to his breed.

Mr. Burns needs to have an eye that has gone bad removed, and if there is enough there, even a possible prosaic replacement, he also has teeth worn down to the numb, from being left in a crate all the time and from lots of boredom, you see puppy mill dogs don’t get toys, or attention, just produce puppies so we can buy them from the pet shops, aren’t they even cuter now that you know mom and dad are treated like some un-cared for machine?

Introducing Scooby (Protege #0177)! Scooby is a 3 year old red merle male Aussie! He has recently been neutered, is up to date on all vaccinations, has been heartworm tested and is on preventatives. He is small in height, but has a few extra pounds that he could stand to lose. He currently weighs in at 34 pounds, but would probably be best at 30 pounds.
Scooby is very affectionate and super cute, and he is definitely a velcro Aussie who wants nothing more in life than to be right where his people are. He gets along well with all other dogs, and is currently being fostered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa at Camp Bow Wow where he interacts with staff and up to 14 other dogs on a daily basis.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Scooby-large-376x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Scooby-large.jpeg"]Scooby (Protege #0177)[/frame_center]
Scooby has done well with everyone he meets. He is a bit nervous upon first meeting, but is quite quick to warm up to new people after introductions. He shows interest in cats, and will follow them around if the cats are playing, but Scooby has been respectful of them.
Scooby was originally raised in a Spanish-speaking household. We have been working on learning what Scooby’s commands were in Spanish, and we are slowly trying to help him to associate them with the matching English commands. He is very eager to please, and if he understands what you are asking for he responds very well.
Scooby is completely housetrained, and has not had any accidents in the house or in his kennel at camp. He initially fusses, but quiets quickly when you leave the area, or when you tell him to be quiet.
The shelter staff reported that when Scooby was dropped off at the shelter there was a toddler with them, who was hugging and kissing Scooby, and Scooby was very tolerant of this. We have not yet tested him with small children, but based on this account I would think that he will probably do fine with kids.
If you are looking for a cute, smaller-sized Aussie who has a big heart to love his new family, Scooby would love to become a forever part of your family! If you might be interested in learning more about Scooby, please email Jayne at mcjayne@yahoo.com. While we welcome your questions about this dog, all adopters are required to complete a Protege Adoption Application before being considered to adopt a Protege dog; our adoption fee is $200.

She minds well in the house and is not a high energy girl. She loves to sit on the couch and cuddle with her humans. She does great with other dogs, but is maybe a little too interested in the cats. Some she doesn’t bother, others upset her. She does very well with children too! Jubilee is about 35lbs currently but needs to gain 5-10 as she’s very thin right now. But this shouldnt be a problem because she loves to eat! She has spent much of her life as an outside dog and is still learning about potty training and leash walking. She is fully crate trained and sleeps through the night without a peep. She knows the ‘sit’ command and is a very velcro dog. She’s a shadow girl for sure!

Bindi has arrived! She is a 4yo female Aussie who is mostly white with some pretty blue merle patches. She’s deaf, though she can hear a few select pitches. She’s got starburst blue eyes but has most of her vision in them. She will need to be kept indoors so she’s not in the sun all day as it can burn her eyes and skin. But she loves going for walks!
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Bindi2-265x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Bindi2.jpeg"]NS 0841 Bindi[/frame_center]
Bindi is approximately 40 lbs and has a very soft, full, fluffy coat! She’s a very sweet girl who is very velcro and she attaches to her people almost instantly. She will follow her foster mom around everywhere! Bindi is crate trained, though she would prefer to be left loose in the house. She does very well and does not get into any mischief.

Bindi likes to know when her people leave her. Going off to work for the day is perfectly fine, so long as Bindi sees you leave. But if she wakes up to nobody, she gets a little anxious. She loves to sleep on thick, soft bedding and has just been a dream of a gal so far! Bindi looooves cats and gets along with dogs and children. Her best pal before coming into New Spirit was a cat, and Bindi would lay on the floor so kitty could bat at and play with her. Bindi enjoys tennis balls and frisbees and is a great play buddy. She is housebroken and is relatively quiet. She’s very cuddly and sweet. If you’re looking for a gorgeous gal to keep you warm this winter, consider Bindi!

We are pleased to introduce handsome Quinn (Protege #0178)! Quinn is a neutered male blue merle Australian Shepherd with tons of personality who is eager to please! He is about 1-1/2 years old and very happy to be as active as you’d like. Quinn has beautiful markings; we especially like the dark merle spot on his left hind end (see photo).
Quinn loves to play with other dogs and is very gentle. He is not at all possessive about food; in fact, when his foster brother and sister are licking out human bowls, he just stands back and watches. Quinn is having a lot of fun with clicker training, and is enthusiastically learning come, sit, down, and rollover. When he’s out in the backyard, he comes right away to the door when called. He loves to go for car rides.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Quinn-large-300x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Quinn-large.jpeg"]Quinn (Protege #0178)[/frame_center]
Quinn is completely housebroken and is cratetrained. He goes right into a crate, with or without a treat, and stays quietly. If he knows you are about, he may whine, but settles quickly when told. Though he loves to play and has a lot of energy, he also settles down nicely in the house, and lies quietly nearby while you work.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Qinn-large2-400x279.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Qinn-large2.jpeg"]Quinn (Protege #0178)[/frame_center]
Quinn has a sporty build and would be a good candidate for additional training in obedience or a dog sport such as agility or flyball. He is overly excited when introduced to new situations, but we think the more socializing he gets, the less of a problem this will be. As he becomes more accustomed to and attached to his foster mom, he is starting to greet her by jumping up and putting his paws on her chest. He is very gentle about this and is doing it out of happiness, but of course it is a bad habit, and we are discouraging it. As a rule, he is not getting on furniture without being invited, though he has taken to jumping up into the bay window to look out (and how handsome he is sitting in the window!).
Quinn’s learned how to do stairs since he’s been in foster care, and now loves to run up and down. He is also beginning to carry stuffed toys around and play with them a bit; so far, he has not been destructive. He loves to enjoy a nice bone with the other dogs in the evening.
Quinn is up to date on all vaccinations, on heartworm and flea & tick preventative, and is ready to go to his forever home immediately. He is just looking for someone to be his best friend forever, and we’re sure he will do whatever you ask of him with unbounded happiness and enthusiasm. He is being fostered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Here is a video of Quinn playing with his foster brother:

Mia is a 3yo blue merle ‘mini’ Australian Shepherd female who just came to New Spirit, so we are still learning about her. She’s gradually warming up but has a lot of nervous energy. She gets very nervous around new people and may have a fear of some men, but has been ‘caught’ snuggling with the gentleman in the foster home. Mia will do okay with new people as long as her foster mom is there with her, coaxing her along and calming her.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Mia1.jpeg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Mia1.jpeg"]NS 0788 Mia[/frame_center]
Mia is good with her leash on a walk and will only pull a bit when she gets excited, but she doesn’t chase after anything and isn’t skittish with passing cars. She is still working on her house training, but this may clear up after she settles in. Mia is starting to warm up to playing and we are still trying to find her favorite type of toy, but we know she doesn’t like squeaky toys. She is not a chewer or destructive of household items.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/MIa.jpeg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/MIa.jpeg"]NS 0788 Mia[/frame_center]
Mia is a very “velcro” Aussie who will sleep perfectly in her crate at night, but may bark if left alone during the day. She is good with cats, other dogs and older kids, but we do not recommend her for a home with small children as she will knock them down.
Mia is being fostered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Complete an application at New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue. Reference NS 0788
Introducing Isabella (#174)! Isabella is a blue merle female Aussie with beautiful blue eyes, approximately 1 year old. She was found caught in an animal trap, and thankfully, she has been left with no permanent damage after she was freed from the trap by an animal control officer. Isabella is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested negative and on preventatives.
Isabella is a super sweet, affectionate velcro Aussie. She wants to be with you wherever you are. She is completely housetrained, and has not had any accidents in her foster home. She is very curious about the resident cats and has followed them around some, but has been respectful of them. Isabella is currently staying at Camp Bow Wow where she is able to interact with staff and up to 14 other dogs in the play areas. She has gotten along well with all staff and dogs that she has met.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Isabella-Large-299x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Isabella-Large.jpeg"]Isabella (#174)[/frame_center]
Isabella does not seem familiar with being in a crate, so we are working on going into the crate on her own. Currently she needs to be led into the crate, where we then give her a treat in order to reinforce this new behavior. She is doing well, and does not seem nervous in the crate. She sometimes fusses initially when crated if she can still see you in the area, but she quiets quickly and is quiet when you leave the house.
Isabella does not enjoy car rides at this point in time. We have tried having her ride in the crate in the car, and she drools heavily and is uneasy. We have found that she rides better free, and we see much less drooling and she seems a bit more comfortable. I think with some desensitization and positive reinforcement, she can overcome her nervousness in the car. Isabella does not seem to know any formal obedience commands, so she is working on learning basic obedience commands with the clicker. She is very eager to make you happy, and is a quick study with learning new behaviors.
Isabella has likely been through some rough patches in her short life, and as a result she is a bit shy in new situations. She will take some time to warm up, but her naturally affectionate demeanor and her desire to please people help her work through this, and she is soon giving hugs. When she is in an environment she is comfortable with, she is quick to greet any visitors. When we picked her up from the shelter, she threw herself right into our arms for a hug with her Aussie nub just wigglin’ like crazy! She is a very sweet and beautiful dog inside and out, and will make her new forever home very lucky to have her!
Here is a little video of Isabella at camp:

Blitz is a 2 year old purebred blue merle Aussie girl. She’s has one blue eye, one brown eye and a docked tail. She was turned in with Lillie at the shelter, as an ex breeder dog. Blitz is about 40lbs and is just a stunning girl.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blitz2-400x266.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blitz2.jpeg"]NS 0786 Blitz[/frame_center]
She is a rambunctious little gal for sure and we are working on getting her to stay down, she loves to jump on people! She really loves to play! She is really a great dog, especially when she settles down. She loves to cuddle when she does settle down and she always has kisses to give. She is a little slow to warm up to some men, but loves women.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blitz-400x266.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blitz.jpeg"]NS 0786 Blitz[/frame_center]
Blitz is pretty good with cats and other dogs. She is doing well on house training and is great overnight with no accidents and no whining. Blitz seems to be experiencing some things for probably the first time. She was frightened by a flight of stairs when she first arrived at her foster home and, when giving her treats, she doesn’t take them right away. She is very curious about noises and smells and stares at the TV when it’s on! We have also noticed a little food guarding with other dogs; she likes her own space when she wants it and she’s pretty protective of her food. However, she quickly stopped growling when we got her attention away from it.
Blitz is fostering in Austin, MN. Complete an application at New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue. Reference NS 0786
Mork (Protege #0171) is a 5 year old black-tri male Australian Shepherd. He was turned in by his owner due to the owner’s medical problems. He’s neutered and very well-mannered. Mork spent most of his 5 years locked up in his crate, so new surroundings make him a little timid. He likes to have his crate as an option for someplace to hide and feel safe. He is a fantastic dog to play fetch with (returns it every time), and he has just started agility training!
Mork LOVES other dogs. He goes to the dog parks a couple of times a week with his foster parents and loves running around with the other dogs and playing fetch. Mork’s foster parents have 2 cats that Mork gets along with fine (he’s submissive to them, so just ignores them or goes around them leaving plenty of space). Because of his slightly more timid nature, young children scare Mork at first. It might be best if he were placed in a home with older children.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Mork-large-383x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Mork-large.jpeg"]Mork (Protege #0171)[/frame_center]
When outside Mork has limitless energy, but inside he calms down and wants nothing more than to lay at your feet. The only time Mork will jump onto a bed or couch is if he is invited.
Mork is mostly a quite boy; the only times he has barked have been alarm barking ( i.e., if walking at night and someone approaches he will bark quietly or growl, or if no one is home and you walk up and shake the door handle he will bark through the door).
When left alone Mork can be crated or not. He is very well housetrained and has neither marked his territory nor had an accident in the house. Mork also knows how to: sit, stay, come, lay down, shake, fetch, stand up on hind legs and catch a ball in the air.
Here are a couple of short videos of Mork:
Mork is current on all his vet work, is on heartworm preventative, and is ready for his new home today!

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.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Bono1-400x266.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Bono1.jpg"]NS 0631 Bono Needs Your Help[/frame_center]
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.

Meet Hadlee, sister to Faythe, who came in from a long drive from North Platte Nebraska. Hadlee is 8-10 weeks old and is deaf and partially blind. Sadly both were found as strays along the side of a highway. She will need a home that will give her all the love and attention you can give, and she will give even more in return. We have adopted out a few blind Aussies, and honestly, they get along like any other dogs. Hadlee and her sister are settling in just fine at their new foster home. Both girls love to play with each other and all the other dogs and animals in the home, cat included, and they also get along great with the family guard Guinee Pig! Both girls play with the kids in the home and are well on their way to potty training.
