Meet Red Rock, a 2 year old red merle male Australian Shepherd. Red Rock is around 45 pounds and is probably a good candidate for agility if you can work on his focus. Red Rock is what we would call a bullet proof Aussie.
Red Rock loves going on walks, he loves rides in the car, possibly his nirvana? He is great with other dogs and ignores cats and loves everyone he meets and thinks the dog park is just the bomb! He is house broken, treat motivated and has a great recall to his name (Rocky). Red Rock is also very velcro to whom ever he has decided is his leader.

He does have a few dislikes, don’t we all? He doesn’t enjoy the crate though he will go in when it’s required, he wants to be near a human. He is a little bit of a picky eater, and will turn his nose up to certain foods. He hasn’t mastered playing with toys but is all about pleasing you.

Meet Bootsie, a older black tri Australian Shepherd we had helped rescue from an elderly person who was no longer able to care for her. Bootsie was excellent when I met her and she was all set and ready to jump into the back seat of my car, and rode excellent all the way to meet her new foster family.
Boostie is now ith the MARS rescue group, they specialize in mini Aussies and Bootsie is what I would consider a mini, she loves to play ball, chase frisbees and go for walks. When you first meet this lady you would think she won’t run to catch a treat but that is not the case, she is all action undert that exterior.

ADOPTED
Wogonda is a very sweet and somewhat timid lethal white blue merle Australian Shepherd male. He has lots of blue merle spots, so he resembles his sister Wanderoo quite a bit, without the colored ear. He has good vision in one eye and some vision in the other, and of course he is deaf.
He is very laid back, but will allow Wanderoo to lead him into trouble. Being timid, he tends to be quite vocal when out of his element or afraid- his howl is loud, but he is very quickly comforted with a quick hug or bet of reassurance. Even though he is timid, he is a very quick learner- again, he can come, sit and down already. He would be best with a gentle older dog rather than another rambunctious dog, and a home that is not super active but somewhat active. , He would be a good dog to walk with and take around town. He seems to be a good candidate for riding in the car, and if it involves a stop at the Ice Cream shop, well all the better!

Wanderoo is a lethal white blue merle female who will grow to around 45-50 pounds. She has a docked tail and is covered with blue merle markings.
She is deaf, but sees just fine. She has one black ear and lots of spots. She is as sweet as can be- loves to cuddle and lick your face and is just all sweetness. She is also exceptionally smart (will come, sit and down already). Because she is so smart, she tends to get herself into a bit of trouble- she likes to escape through the fence (and every time I think I have her outwitted she wins again!). The good news is she sticks around and doesn’t wander TOO much. She does seem to find each and every burr in the woods and get it into her fur.

She can find any contraband in the house (electrical cords, etc.), and is maybe a little too adventuresome for her own good.
She is definitely the leader of the litter! She will be more active than the others. She would make a great agility or obedience dog.

Meet Desirae, a 2 year old blue merle female Australian Shepherd. She will soon be up for adoption once all her puppies are weaned and ready them selves for new homes.
Mia (#0196) is a 6-8 month old red-tri female Australian Shepherd. Her vaccinations are up to date, she has been spayed and is on heartworm & flea/tick preventative. She currently weighs in at 28 pounds and could possibly get up to 35 pounds when she is fully grown. She is completely housebroken and will pace back and forth from where you are to the door to let you know she needs to go outside. She kennels very well and is able to go without accidents for 8+ hours if necessary.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Mia-large-300x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Mia-large.jpeg"]Protege 0196 Mia[/frame_center]
Mia has lots of energy and feeds off of good praise (and treats!). However, she is definitely a puppy still. If you are untidy, she is very “helpful” at picking things up. She has lots of toys to chew on and play with, but she will occasionally find your shoe or sock more interesting. For this reason, she is not yet reliable at being unattended for long periods of time.
She is very smart and picks things up pretty easily. She knows “sit”, “stay”, “lay down” and “hand”. She would much rather be on the couch or bed next to you and will jump on you when greeting, but is learning that “off” is not a bad thing. She will occasionally do some alarm barking so we are working on “no bark”. We had a hard time taking walks at first because she liked to pull but has responded very well to the Halti.
We have yet to meet a dog or person that she hasn’t liked, but she can be shy at first when around multiple dogs. She does okay off-leash and with recalls, but she becomes easily distracted when her nose hits the ground. She is also very fast when it comes to play time and would probably do best with a fenced in yard. She currently lives with two cats and shows no interest in them unless they are playing and she wants in on the action.
Here is a video of Mia playing with her foster sister:
Mia had distichia, or eyelashes that were in an abnormal location along the eyelids. She has had surgery to remove many of the eyelashes that were rubbing on her eyes and causing irritation. She has responded very well and has not let it slow her down; this should not be a problem long-term. Mia is currently being fostered in Cedar Rapids. If you might be interested in learning more about Mia, 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.
Benjamin is a beautiful, loudly marked 1.5yo black tri MINI Australian Shepherd male. He is about 25lbs and won’t get any bigger. He looks bigger than he actually is because his fur is so thick and long and lush!

He is good with other dogs and cats and actually seems more comfortable having another dog around. He was released from a retiring breeder and is very under socialized and is fearful in new situations, but it only takes a couple of days for him to readjust and then he turns into a total lover boy! He’s very sweet and while shy, he is desperate for love and affection. Ben loves being groomed and he will sit or lay calmly while you brush him. He enjoys his crate and feels safe there. He will sleep through the night without a single peep!

Ben has already made huge strides in his foster home. The first day he was very fearful and would freeze in fear. But after bonding over a grooming session outside on a beautiful day, he will now seek out his foster mom and dad for pets and love.

He will high five (or ten!) when you hold up your hand. We are working on commands, leash training and housebreaking.
