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.
Coming soon to New Spirit in Illinois will be 6 happy, barky, bouncy, biting, licking, cuddling Australian Shepherd puppies.
Please be aware that we already have a list of wonderful families on our waiting list for Aussie puppies, so feel free to apply, but be ready to know they may already have homes.
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 loves being close to his people and he really enjoys being a lap dog! He doesnt protest at being hugged and will fall asleep right on your lap. He will high five (or ten!) when you hold up your hand. We are working on commands, leash training and housebreaking.
This gorgeous little man will make somebody an awesome addition to the family. He loves women and men alike and will ask for attention freely, once he knows you will be nice to him. Benjamin is fostering in Blooming Prairie, MN. Complete an application at New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue, Reference NS 0879

Meet Bono, our always happy black tri, who it turns out was born without actual hips, on both back legs, which would require a double hip replacement surgery. Enter stage left, Dr. Forsythe from Brookside Veterinary Clinic who was more then happy to provide the needed surgeries to give Bono a normal life.
Days 1-3
Bono had his first hip replacement surgery on December 20th. The ride home from the vet’s office, which should have taken 2 1/2 hours, took more than 4. His constant whining and yelps of pain forced Mom to make several stops to sit and comfort him. He couldn’t get up on his own, can only stand or walk with the support of a towel under his midsection and has to be carried outside so he can take care go to the bathrrom. Despite taking two types of pain medications, any movement at all causes excruciating pain.
Day 4
He does not seem to be in as much pain as the first three days. He can get up, stand and walk short distances on his own. He still has to be supported by a towel when walking as his walk resembles that of a drunken sailor. He has to be carried outside to avoid the stairs. His appetite has returned as has his love for the recliner and chasing the cats (which will have to be shelved until he is better healed). From this point forward he will spend the majority of the next 4 weeks in a crate so he does not injure himself.
So help this young man out with some of your coffee money, your secret chocolate fund or even that piggy bank. Bono needs over $1000.00 in medical costs to be covered, and as with any rescue, funds are limited.

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.
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! If you might be interested in learning more about Mork, 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. Mork is being fostered in Iowa City, Iowa.
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.

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.

Seneca is good with other dogs, she greets humans well and could care less about cats. She rides well in a car, but needs some training on a leash, but that could be she is scared after the shelter confinement.
