Now that Pumpkin is in a foster home, she is now returning to a happy, and content girl, who has years left to show love and affection to whom ever will allow her to finish her years content and happy.

Pumpkin walks perfect on a leash and LOVES to go for walks, tolerates other dogs, is good around children and will stay off furniture and the beds. She is afraid of thunderstorms and as such will try ti go under the bed, showing only her tail as proof she is around, but when you say her name, the tail becomes animated and shows her understanding you are there for her.

ADOPTED: Protege #0193 Holly Red Tri Female Australian Shepherd Puppy Iowa

Posted on by
Reply

Holly (#0193) is an adorable red-tri puppy with beautiful hazel eyes. She weighs all of 13 pounds, is about 4 months old, and is doing so well after a sad start in life. Little Holly was saved by a rescue group after they saw her exhibited at an exotic animal show in Iowa. This group then turned Holly over to Protege and we are very glad to have her in our care. Her skin was dry and flaky and her fur was course. She was full of worms and dehydrated. After being examined by our vet, it was determined that the condition of Holly’s coat was from lack of nutrition and her poor paws were splayed from spending too much time in a wire cage. Despite her rough start, Holly is a sweet, mild-mannered, funny girl who wants nothing more than to romp with her doggie companions and snuggle up next to humans for some quiet attention.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Holly-Large-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Holly-Large.jpeg"]Protege #0193 Holly[/frame_center]

Holly’s feet are coming along nicely; in fact, they are very endearing….a little big for her petite body but maybe she’ll grow into them – and she is gaining muscle mass and much needed weight. She loves running around the yard, chases balls and toys, gets along great with dogs of all sizes and genders and LOVES kids. While she remains a bit cautious about new people, she warms up very quickly and prefers being touched on the bottom of her chin instead of being patted on top of her head. She is submissive and shares food, toys and love in a very busy household. She eats like a champ and has not had any accidents in our home. Despite her time in a wire cage, she welcomes a comfy crate and is not uncomfortable being in one for bedtime and while the humans are away. Holly can maintain a clean crate for up to 6 hours during the day and all night long. She doesn’t whimper unless she needs out to go potty.

Holly is one of the nicest, easiest fosters I’ve ever had in my home. She curls up in a little ball on the couch at night to get her loving from our 10 year old son and she gives kisses willingly. Holly’s sweet personality will win you over. Her forever home would likely include another canine companion to continue to improve her confidence and show her the ropes at her new home. She is gentle and kind to kids. She would do best with older kids who will respect her sweet demeanor and small size. She is ready to be spayed in a few weeks and will receive her rabies shot then as well. Holly is fostered in Marion, Iowa.

There are additional photos, including several “before” and “after” shots, and three cute videos of Holly at the Protege website for your viewing pleasure: http://protegerescue.org

Meet Milo, a 6 month old red merle Australian Shepherd, with stunning blue eyes and will probably grow to be around 45-50 pounds. Milo is your typical puppy, full of energy and curiosity.

Since Milo is a pup at heart and age, he is in that chewing and getting into mischief phase and will need a home that understands the needs and energy of a puppy. But once Milo is past all that and has taken his obedience classes and worn out, he will be your typical, velcro Aussie.

Rally (#0191) is a beautiful blue merle Mini-Aussie, with one blue and one brown eye. He is about 7 months old, is neutered, and is up to date on all shots. He is a bit chubby at 16 pounds and needs to lose a few pounds to get to his ideal weight.

Rally is a little shy when meeting someone new, but give him a treat and you’ve got a friend for life. He gets along great with other dogs and is fine with cats. He is a little timid around children.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Rally-large-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Rally-large.jpeg"]Protege #0191 Rally[/frame_center]

Rally is housebroken and we are working on basic training. He knows how to sit, lie down, spin and shake! He does wonderfully on car rides, mostly just lays down in the seat next to you. He is just a very easy-going dog. He loves to go on walks and will follow you anywhere. Well, except to the bathroom: since he got a bath, he is a little timid of it. But is starting to venture in.

Rally is a very sweet and loving dog. He loves attention and cuddling. Here is a little video of Rally showing off his sociable cuteness:

His favorite toys are balls and nylon bones. Rally would be a great addition to your home. He is being fostered in Coralville.

Adopted: NS 0867 Cassie 2 Year Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Mini Minnesota

Posted on by
Reply

Cassie is a very sweet and loving 1-2 year old lethal white female mini Australian Shepherd. Fortunately, neither her hearing nor vision has been affected by this, however (although given her age and puppy characteristics there are definitely days she’d argue otherwise :-) As her foster mom, I’d label is as more “selective” hearing.). Cassie only weighs about 20lbs. She has littered one set of puppies recently and is consequently not yet spayed, but will be prior to adoption.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Cassie_2-11.jpeg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Cassie_2-11.jpeg"]This is caption[/frame_center]

She’s a busy girl, who loves toys, bones, playing with other dogs, and chasing the squirrels outside, and the cat inside. She’s a very quick learner and does all she can to please you. You don’t need to teach her things twice, and she is definitely remorseful when she forgets. She’s learning the command “sit,” and is house and kennel-trained. She’s definitely a lover too and soaks up any and all attention you’ll give her. She plays well with children and will make her new family quite happy. Cassie is fostering in Minneapolis, MN.

ADOPTED: NS 0873 Prissy 13 Week Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Minnesota

Posted on by
Reply

If you are looking for one of the most loving puppies in the midewest, then meet our Prissy! The first thing Miss Prissy does when she wakes up is jump on her people’s laps, cuddle, kiss and love them – and then of course goes about her business. Being only 13 weeks old and 8 pounds, she is already a little velcro girl who prefers to be near her people when she plays and takes naps. This is very smart of Prissy as she is also a “lethal white” mini-Aussie and non-hearing.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/102_1493-400x311.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/102_1493.jpeg"]NS 0873 Prissy[/frame_center]

Prissy likes to be in her crate/kennel when she eats and when she sleeps at night, and sometimes just for fun throughout the day. She has started potty training, and even does most of her business outside. She is such a joyful and healthy puppy! Her favorite thing in the world is to simply be held, kiss, and cuddle! When she is happy to see you, her whole bottom wiggles super fast! Prissy is a beautiful little puppy, all white with some faint blue merling on her butt. Prissy loves other dogs and cats, but prefers to be with humans to snuggle. Prissy is fostering in St Louis Park, MN.

ADOPTED: Protege #0188 Winnie 4 Year Old Blue Merle Australian Shepherd Female Iowa

Posted on by
Reply

Meet Winnie (#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; she continues to lose weight and since she loves to be active, this is going very well. At this writing, she was at 45 lbs., but she will be on the smaller side when she gets to her ideal weight.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Winnie-large.jpeg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/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.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Winnie-large1.jpeg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Winnie-large1.jpeg"]Protege #0188 Winnie[/frame_center]

While Winnie loves children and people. Though she tended to growl at other dogs when she first came into the program, Winnie has been doing very well learning to get along. She is great with the neighbor dog, and now is even enjoying trips to the dog park! A game of fetch is best when shared with another dog you can race! She’d probably still prefer to be the only dog in the home, but if you socialize with other dogs and their famlies, Winnie can be a good choice.

Though sShe growled at her foster parents’ cats for the first couple days, after working with her she now ignores them, or sniffs curiously.

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. She is awesome at catching a ball — we counted 84 times in a row with no misses on day! Winnie loves about any sort of ball toy and will come with some of her most special, if well-worn, ones.

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.

As you can see from her video, 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. If you might be interested in learning more about this dog, 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.

ADOPTED: Roscoe (#0189) Red Tri Australian Shepherd Male Iowa

Posted on by
Reply

Roscoe (#0189) is a red tri Australian Shepherd who is almost a year old. He is up to date on all of his shots and is neutered. Roscoe was surrendered to a Shelter by his family because he was too active. He is a very lovable dog with a bright and funny personality. Roscoe loves playing with toys, people and other dogs. He is great at fetching balls or toys and loves playing tug. His foster mom is working on a release word for Roscoe so he knows when to let go of the tug. He is also learning to watch out for hands while he is tugging, because sometimes in his excited state Roscoe forgets where the tug ends and the hands start! Roscoe knows sit, down and come. He is also crate trained and housebroken. When Roscoe needs to go outside he will go to the door and whine.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Roscoe-large-400x251.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Roscoe-large.jpeg"]Roscoe (#0189)[/frame_center]

Roscoe is an energetic dog, but not overly active for his age or breed. He would do best in a home where he could go on daily walks, visit the dog park, play with other dogs or fetch balls in a backyard. Roscoe would be an excellent flyball, agility or frisbee dog. He has a high endurance level, learns very quickly, is toy and food motivated, and wants to please the humans in his life. After a walk or a run outside, Roscoe is perfectly content to come inside and nap on a dog
bed while his foster mom works around the house. Roscoe is such a likable dog he’s even convinced his foster sister, who is stubborn about who she plays with or even associates with, to be his good friend. He is smart with other dogs and knows when to be submissive.

Roscoe LOVES all people, attention and snuggling. He would be in seventh heaven if he could be someone’s lap dog; however, at Roscoe’s foster home he is not allowed on the furniture and he usually respects this rule. When Roscoe first came to his foster home he jumped on all the furniture, but learned via a squirt bottle (which is VERY affective with him for training some things) that getting on couches and beds was naughty. Sometimes when Roscoe is really excited playing with his fosters siblings he jumps on the couch, but he always listens right away when he’s told “get down.” When Roscoe meets new people he often jumps or puts his front paws on them because he is so happy to see them. His foster mom is working on teaching him to sit to be petted.

Roscoe has not chewed on anything inappropriate in his foster home because there are plenty of toys available for him to choose from. Because he loves training time, attention and pleasing people, it is clear that Roscoe can become the perfect dog for an active family.

Here are a couple of short videos of Roscoe in action:

Breezy is a very high energy dog and loves lots of activity like long walks and will play fetch until she drops. Her absolute favorite toy is a tennis ball. She is willing to play anytime anywhere but she also understands when play time is over and will settle down very quickly. Her foster mom has been working with her in basic agility, fly ball and rally obedience to keep her mentally and physically challenged. She is smart, very treat motivated and willing to learn anything you take the time to teach her. Breezy has even learned to jog on the treadmill.

She has perfect house manners and other than following you like a shadow, you would never know she was there. Breezy walks well on a leash and loves to ride in the car. She willingly jumps in to go where ever you are going. She is not food, toy or crate possessive. She knows all her basic commands, sit, stay, down, come, shake, leave it and wait. Outside the home Breezy has never met a stranger; she accepts people and animals alike. Inside the home, her foster family is working on her trust issues with men.

While she likes her foster dad, she likes him best seated or lying on the floor as standing intimidates her a bit. Because of her lack of confidence with men Breezy would be best suited to go to a home with previous dog experience and no small children, as she may become over-protective of the children. She could also benefit from an established dog in the home to continue to learn from. She is a very happy girl and a lot of fun.

Breezy is located in Ingleside Illinois. If you have room in your heart and home for this cutie please complete an application at New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue today. Reference NS 0726.

ADOPTED: Protege #0185 Stella 1 Year Old Red Merle Female Australian Shepherd Iowa

Please meet pretty Stella (Protege #0185). Stella is a sweet red merle spayed female whose farmer owner called the shelter promising to shoot her if they did not pick her up. Go figure. Hard to imagine any reason in the world for that kind of stupidity. Anyway, the shelter did, and then contacted our group to take Stella in and find her a new home.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Stella3.jpeg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Stella3.jpeg"]Protege #0185 Stella[/frame_center]

You will love this girl: she is about one year old, around 35 lbs, has one brown and one blue eye, is completely housebroken, very flexible about new situations: enjoys playing with dogs, meeting dogs, meeting all people (especially if they will love her up and give her belly rubs), and is great with cats. She is good riding in the car and waits patiently. Stella is crate trained and goes in happily for a treat; however, she is completely dependable if left uncrated. Despite that she is quite young, she does not get into trouble. She enjoys playing with toys and so far only chews on appropriate stuff. She will chase a ball a little for pure fun, but probably isn’t going to be an intense fetch dog. Generally, she’ll only get on furniture when invited, though she’s regularly invited in her foster home.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Stella2.jpeg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Stella2.jpeg"]Protege #0185 Stella[/frame_center]

Stella is ready to be your perfect pet dog and companion and will love you without question. As you can see from her videos, she is full of fun and young dog energy, but she is very manageable and settles well when inside. She likes to jump up into the bay window at her foster home to look out, or up into your bed, and when you get home from work she will be all wiggles and squirms in her joy to see you.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Stella1.jpeg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Stella1.jpeg"]Protege #0185 Stella[/frame_center]

Stella is an enthusiastic partner and learner: she enjoys walks and does okay on leash, though pulls a bit more than she should; she is not hard to contain, though. She is learning some easy tricks using the clicker and now does sit and down. She has a lovely recall because she’d really rather be with you than doing anything else, and she loves doing things for treats. Stella rarely barks.

Stella is up-to-date on her vaccinations and is ready to go to her forever home. You will not regret making Stella a part of your family! Apply today! She is being fostered in Marion. If you might be interested in learning more about this dog, 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 Holland, a 2 year old black bi female Australian Shepherd. Holland is a very active and very sure of her self Aussie.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Holly1.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Holly1.jpg"]NS 0624 Holland (Holly)[/frame_center]

Holland was adopted but came back because the family found out they had allergies to dogs, it was a very painful thing to return her to rescue.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Holly-6-300x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Holly-6.jpg"]NS 0624 Holland (Holly)[/frame_center]

Holland gets along with other dogs well, but she does tend to be a little alpha and we suggest if you have another dog they are on the submissive side, but as always you should bring your dog along to see if they are compatible.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Holly-4-300x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Holly-4.jpg"]NS 0624 Holland (Holly)[/frame_center]
