			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meet Sarah, a happy, energetic 6 month old Australian Shepherd. Sarah is a Blue Merle Lethal White Aussie, which is the result of breeding 2 Merle Australian Shepherds, producing what is called a Double Merle or M2M or Lethal White. Sarah has a tail, and she is blind in one eye, and maybe some partial impact on her other eye. She hears just fine.</p>
<div id="attachment_5689" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/ASRM-0021-Sarah-400x300.png" alt="Sarah Is A Lethal White" title="Sarah Is A Lethal White" width="400" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-5689" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sarah Is A Lethal White</p></div>
<p>Sarah is up to date on all her shots, and she is spayed. She is housebroken and crate trained and ready to roll right into a new home when you are ready to swing her in your home.</p>
<div id="attachment_5692" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Sarah-014-400x300.png" alt="Sarah After  A hard Play Outside" title="Sarah After  A hard Play Outside" width="400" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-5692" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sarah After  A hard Play Outside</p></div>
<p>Sarah being a typical Australian Shepherd, loves to play, she instantly fit into her foster home of 4 others, including a cat and guinea pig. She will play with the others all day long and is sometimes found at the bottom of the pile.</p>
<div id="attachment_5690" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Sarah-005-400x300.png" alt="Sarah Fits Right In" title="Sarah Fits Right In" width="400" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-5690" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sarah Fits Right In</p></div>
<p>Sarah has a very sweet and snuggling disposition, seen wagging her tail all the time and of course as the shots will show, she seems a bit of a tom boy, as she is always dirty.</p>
<div id="attachment_5691" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Sarah-012-400x300.png" alt="Tomboy Anyone?" title="Tomboy Anyone?" width="400" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-5691" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tomboy Anyone?</p></div>
<p>Sarah is ready for a forever home, and will fit into any situation, be it another dog, cats, kids (of all sizes) she is what we call one of our bullet proof dogs.</p>
<p>Sarah is being fostered in Rochester Minnesota. To adoption this sweet pea, complete an application at <a href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/adoption-application/" title="Adoption Application"><strong>Aussie Rescue Midwest Adoption</strong></a>, reference ASRM 0021.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>ADOPTED!</h1>
<p>Meet sweet little Maggie, a 8 week old lethal white blue merle female Australian Shepherd. She came to us after being removed from a situation that was not ideal, with the summers 100+ heat, she had only a little bowl of water, and she was covered in fleas. A kind Samaritan saw her crawl out from under a blanket. She was starved and had been taken from her mother at 4 weeks old.</p>
<div id="attachment_5559" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Maggie-1-400x307.jpg" alt="Maggie Puppy 10 Weeks Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Australian Shepherd Illinois" title="Maggie Puppy 10 Weeks Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Australian Shepherd Illinois" width="400" height="307" class="size-medium wp-image-5559" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Maggie Puppy 10 Weeks Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Australian Shepherd Illinois</p></div>
<div id="attachment_5560" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Maggie-2-400x300.jpg" alt="Maggie Puppy 10 Weeks Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Australian Shepherd Illinois" title="Maggie Puppy 10 Weeks Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Australian Shepherd Illinois" width="400" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-5560" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Maggie Puppy 10 Weeks Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Australian Shepherd Illinois</p></div>
<p>Maggie is what comes from the breeding of 2 blue merle or red merles and the end result is a puppy who is mostly white, usually deaf and sometimes blind. Maggie is just deaf, and seems to see just fine. She has striking blue eyes, she loves to be held and snuggle with anyone that will let her.</p>
<div id="attachment_5561" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Maggie-3-400x300.jpg" alt="Maggie Puppy 10 Weeks Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Australian Shepherd Illinois" title="Maggie Puppy 10 Weeks Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Australian Shepherd Illinois" width="400" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-5561" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Maggie Puppy 10 Weeks Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Australian Shepherd Illinois</p></div>
<div id="attachment_5562" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Maggie-4-400x300.jpg" alt="Maggie Puppy 10 Weeks Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Australian Shepherd Illinois" title="Maggie Puppy 10 Weeks Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Australian Shepherd Illinois" width="400" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-5562" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Maggie Puppy 10 Weeks Old Blue Merle Female Lethal White Australian Shepherd Illinois</p></div>
<p>Maggie will stand her own with the big dogs in the house, loves to drag bones as big or some twice as big as she is. She loves to herd at the age of 8 years old, so be ready for all your cats to be rounded up in a hurry, or the kids in the neighborhood.</p>
<p>Maggie is being fostered in Bloomington Illinois. To adopt this soft, caring little girl, complete an application at <a href="http://www.australianshepherdrescuemidwest.org/adoption-application"><strong>Australian Shepherd Rescue Midwest</strong><strong></strong></a>. Reference ASRM 0020</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>ADOPTED!</h1>
<p>Meet Sae Dee!!!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/sae-dee-ns0880-5yo-blue-merle-female-australian-shepherd/sadie/" rel="attachment wp-att-5073"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5073" title="sadie" src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/sadie-400x286.jpg" alt="Sae Dee" width="400" height="286" /></a></p>
<p>Sae Dee is a gorgeous 5yo blue merle female Australian Shepherd. She&#8217;s a &#8216;tweenie&#8217; Aussie, which means she’s bigger than a mini but smaller than a standard!  She&#8217;s the perfect size!  She&#8217;s got one blue eye and one chocolate eye, giving her a very unique look. Sae Dee loves people and isn’t shy about anything. She will gently stand up in front of you to be petted. Sae Dee is very interested in cats and will chase them, so a home without any cats is recommended, unless you feel capable of controlling the situation. Sae Dee seems fine with most other dogs as well. She loves to play with them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/sae-dee-ns0880-5yo-blue-merle-female-australian-shepherd/saedee/" rel="attachment wp-att-5074"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5074" title="SaeDee" src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/SaeDee.bmp" alt="" width="456" height="307" /></a></p>
<p>Sae Dee is crate trained and actually enjoys spending her down time in her crate. She sleeps quietly through the night. Though if you didnt want to crate her, she does just wonderfully left loose! Sae Dee doesnt chew or get into things and her foster family leaves her free to roam the house while they are away at work. Sae Dee is tennis ball and frisbee crazy!  She will bring the ball to you to throw for her until one of you gets tired. She loves to play and is very happy to hang out around the house. She&#8217;s an easy goinggirl whose fun to be around.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://s204.photobucket.com/albums/bb206/Hollywooddunnit/?action=view&amp;current=Merlin-1083.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb206/Hollywooddunnit/Merlin-1083.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Merlin is an 8-10yo self blue merle Australian Shepherd male. We aren’t sure of his actual age. He is a standard size and weighs approx. 45lbs. He has a pretty blue fleck in one of his eyes and it gives him an overall &#8216;sorcerer&#8217;s&#8217; appearance. Merlin recently lost the love of his life, whom he&#8217;d been with for all of his 10 years. He was devastated, but he is beginning to pick up the pieces and learning to love life as a single man for the first time in his life.</p>
<p><a href="http://s204.photobucket.com/albums/bb206/Hollywooddunnit/?action=view&amp;current=Merlin-1083__3_.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb206/Hollywooddunnit/Merlin-1083__3_.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Merlin gets along great with other dogs, and even gets along with cats and children! He&#8217;s a sweet, mellow guy with a lot of years left in him!  Merlin is housebroken and crate trained already too! He is very quiet in his crate and will just hang out if you need him to. But he doesn’t get into trouble in the house. Merlin is hard of hearing in his senior years. He&#8217;s not completely deaf, but much of it is gone. But he&#8217;s still a fabulous guy. Merlin rides easily loose in a vehicle. If you are looking for a perfect family Aussie, Merlin is your guy!</p>
<p>Merlin is fostering in Champlin, MN. Please fill out the <a href="http://www.ns4ar.org/ADOPTIONAPP.html">ADOPTION APPLICATION</a> to get started!  Thank you for looking!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wangaretta is a lethal white blue merle Australian Shepherd male. He is mostly white, with a few spots near his back end. He is both deaf and blind, but actually gets around quite well. I think it is easy to underestimate his abilities, but don’t let the lack of hearing and vision make you think less of him. He uses his nose a lot, and I noticed he has more trouble navigating in our backyard after a rain, so he must be highly scent dependent.</p>
<div id="attachment_4916" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4916" title="Wangaratta NS1018" src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Wangaratta-NS1018-400x378.jpg" alt="Wangaratta NS1018" width="400" height="378" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Wangaratta NS1018</p></div>
<p>He will come to vibration (we stomp our foot or clap loudly) and can also sit and down. He is so exceptionally smart, that I think he would out do Wanderoo if he wasn’t a little limited with the vision. He is also very laid back, mellow, and just a fluffy lover boy. I think he could definitely learn to follow your scent on a walk, and he is able to navigate a full flight of stairs with no problem. Because of his underdeveloped eyes, he might have to be watched in the sun, but other than that he is very healthy (and a terrific eater!).</p>
<div id="attachment_4915" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4915" title="NS 1018 Wangaretta" src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Mynie-Wangaratta-NS1018-B-400x265.jpg" alt="NS 1018 Wangaretta" width="400" height="265" /><p class="wp-caption-text">NS 1018 Wangaretta</p></div>
<div style="clear: both;">
<div id="attachment_5241" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 200px"><img class="size-full wp-image-5241" title="NS 1018 Wangaretta" src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/262577_153894784693205_145570595525624_306176_3890386_n.jpg" alt="NS 1018 Wangaretta" width="190" height="276" /><p class="wp-caption-text">NS 1018 Wangaretta</p></div>
</div>
<p>He is the biggest of the bunch- a week ago he was 15.1 pounds. I really think given his personality and his smarts he will make a very, very good pet, so don’t count him out. Unlike most Aussies, he would likely do well in a small house or apartment. He spends lots of time sitting in my lap as I work on the computer- and that might become a problem when he reaches his full 45-50 pounds!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ADOPTED</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Meany-or-Wodanga-NS1017-A.jpg"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Meany-or-Wodanga-NS1017-A-400x265.jpg" alt="Lethal White Australian Shepherd" title="Meany or Wodanga NS1017 A" width="400" height="265" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4900" /></a></p>
<p>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!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ADOPTED</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Eenie-Wanderoo-NS120-A.jpg"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Eenie-Wanderoo-NS120-A-400x265.jpg" alt="Wanderoo NS120 Blue Merle Aussie" title="Eenie Wanderoo NS120 A" width="400" height="265" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4903" /></a></p>
<p>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.  </p>
<p>[frame_left src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Eenie-Wanderoo-NS120-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Eenie-Wanderoo-NS120.jpg"]NS 1020 Wanderoo[/frame_left]</p>

<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<p>She can find any contraband in the house (electrical cords, etc.), and is maybe a little too adventuresome for her own good. </p>
<p>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. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meet Cody, a 3 year old blue merle male Australian Shepherd, he was one of the first Aussies I had ever rescued when I was the rep for ARPH in Illinois. Cody was always low energy and always gentle. He had the face of a wise man and the soul of an every greater man. Katie and her husband met Cody and took him all the way from Chicago to Minneapolis one day and decided he was the Aussie for them.</p>
<div id="attachment_4798" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Cody-2-400x298.jpg" alt="Cody Giving His Love" title="Cody Giving His Love" width="400" height="298" class="size-medium wp-image-4798" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cody Giving His Love</p></div>
<p>Cody was always shy of the camera and would turn his head or hide when he thought he was getting his picture taken, we thought he might have been a dog from a home in the witness protection program, but we did get pictures and he is a beautiful Australian Shepherd.</p>
<div id="attachment_4797" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Cody-1-400x265.jpg" alt="Cody On Squirrel Patrol" title="Cody On Squirrel Patrol" width="400" height="265" class="size-medium wp-image-4797" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cody On Squirrel Patrol</p></div>
<p>Over the weekend of the 8th of May, Cody began to not eat and was becoming lethargic, and having trouble breathing, within just 2 days the worst news of all came, he had cancer and it was impacting his lungs and ability to breath, sadly he passed away on the operating table and now were joy and happiness rained, is a large hole where his presence is no longer.</p>
<p>We all will miss this gentle man, and know he is waiting at the bridge to be reunited with Katie and her family.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meet this gentle female Australian Shepherd Blue Merle with a tail. Pumpkin is around 50+ pounds and is the result of her previous owner having to enter a retirement home, and she could not join her, Pumpkin was taken to a shelter and was very upset and depressed.</p>
<p>[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Pumpkin-Indiana-4-400x225.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Pumpkin-Indiana-4.jpg"]NS 0995 Pumpkin[/frame_center]</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Pumpkin-2-400x221.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Pumpkin-2.jpeg"]NS 0995 Pumpkin[/frame_center]</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oakley is a 1.5yo Aussie mix. He&#8217;s a beautiful blue merle guy who is appx 50lbs. Between the couple shedding times, fall and spring, his hair loss is easily manageable. Oakley does not mind baths and the groomers rave about him! His coat is sooo soft and shiny. You will love touching him. Oakley knows basic commands like no, sit, drop, lay down, shake. He&#8217;s actually really relaxed when the house is calm and is often ready for and knows bed time. He&#8217;s the perfect alarm clock. If your alarm clock failed he would know and wake you up on the nose. Does still get excited and jumpy when people come to the door but I think it can be fixed with a little proper direction. He doesnt do it to me because he knows I wont allow it so I know he has the concept down. Is a MAJOR lover and is easy to love. He likes to be in close proximity to you or touching you when he lays down. He will often put his head on your lap and just lovingly stare at you and if you let him he will curl up on your lap just to be next to you. Have not seen him with small children but I think if he is taught boundaries he will be fine. Has never pottied in the house and will often go to the door to be let out. Oakley can be trusted loose in the house and does not destroy the house when you are gone, but he may sit on the couch. He does not have a problem with kennels and understands its a safe place. Oakley loves to fetch but needs a little coaxing to bring the ball back yet. If you are sitting he will bring it to you but if you are standing and waiting he thinks its a game. </p>
<p>[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Oakley1-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Oakley1.jpeg"]NS 0640 Oakley[/frame_center]</p>
<p>[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Oakley-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Oakley.jpeg"]NS 0640 Oakley[/frame_center]</p>
<p>Oakley gets along great with other dogs with no problem and loves to play with them. He will play for hours if another dog is willing to do the same. He has no problem if you get into his food while hes eating or if you put your hand near a treat. Tested this many times with no problem. Very trusting. Walks well on leash with occasional pull. Is alert at night when he needs to be. Loves toys-kong is best because they last more than a day. He often rolls on his back, legs spread and chews on his toy with no care in the world! Oakley sleeps with his head under couch or bed and gives a deep sigh when lights are out. Quite comical! Right now he spends most of his times loose in doors with free access to back yard now that it is warmer out. Have noticed a couple shallow holes in the yard but he does not consistently do it. I think he ran out of places to hide his bones. Does not have a problem being out in the snow for extended periods of time as long as he has something to do and its not freezing. He rides in a car very calmly without barking. He is extremely smart and wants to please you. Oakley is fostering in Plymouth, MN.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>ADOPTED! </h1>
<p>Meet Seir, a 1 year old blue merle lethal white female, who weighs around 15 pounds. Seir still has a beautiful full, flowing tail. Seir gets along well with other dogs and once she has settled in will play and run.</p>
<div id="attachment_4535" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/P3200020-400x346.jpg" alt="Seir 1 Year Old Mini" title="Seir 1 Year Old Mini" width="400" height="346" class="size-medium wp-image-4535" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Seir 1 Year Old Mini</p></div>
<p>Seir will need time to warm up at first, as she was used as a breeder dog, and since she didn&#8217;t work out, was on the list to go away, we ended up with her and she needs to learn to trust us humans again.</p>
<div id="attachment_4537" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/P3200134-400x227.jpg" alt="Seir 1 Year Old Mini" title="Seir 1 Year Old Mini" width="400" height="227" class="size-medium wp-image-4537" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Seir 1 Year Old Mini</p></div>
<p>Seir is deaf, and is slowly learning hand signals and is also housebroken, walks on a leash and is awaiting a great home.</p>
<div id="attachment_4536" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/P3200022-400x232.jpg" alt="Seir 1 Year Old Mini" title="Seir 1 Year Old Mini" width="400" height="232" class="size-medium wp-image-4536" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Seir 1 Year Old Mini</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>Rally is a little shy when meeting someone new, but give him a treat and you&#8217;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.</p>
<p>[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]</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="400" height="325"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OuctH1NbBeo&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed wmode="opaque" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OuctH1NbBeo&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="325"></embed></object></p>
<p>His favorite toys are balls and nylon bones. Rally would be a great addition to your home. He is being fostered in Coralville.</p>
<p>If you might be interested in learning more about this dog, please email Jayne at <a href="mailto:mcjayne@yahoo.com">mcjayne@yahoo.com</a>. While we welcome your questions about this dog, all adopters are required to complete a <a href="http://protegerescue.org/ProtegeForms/Protege%20Adoption%20Application.doc">Protege Adoption Application</a> before being considered to adopt a Protege dog; our adoption fee is $200.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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&#8217;d argue otherwise <img src='http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />   As her foster mom, I&#8217;d label is as more &#8220;selective&#8221; 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.</p>
<p>[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]</p>
<p>She&#8217;s a busy girl, who loves toys, bones, playing with other dogs, and chasing the squirrels outside, and the cat inside.  She&#8217;s a very quick learner and does all she can to please you.  You don&#8217;t need to teach her things twice, and she is definitely remorseful when she forgets.  She&#8217;s learning the command &#8220;sit,&#8221; and is house and kennel-trained.  She&#8217;s definitely a lover too and soaks up any and all attention you&#8217;ll give her. She plays well with children and will make her new family quite happy. Cassie is fostering in Minneapolis, MN.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>[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]</p>
<p>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&#8217; house when they are away.</p>
<p>[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]</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Though sShe growled at her foster parents’ cats for the first couple days, after working with her she now ignores them, or sniffs curiously.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="400" height="325"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/12B2FZKWkS4&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed wmode="opaque" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/12B2FZKWkS4&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="325"></embed></object></p>
<p>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 &#8212; 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hardy (Protege #0187) is a beautiful blue merle boy with copper trim who is about 1-1/2 years old. He is up to date on all of his shots and will be neutered within the week.</p>
<p>[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Hardy-large-400x239.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Hardy-large.jpeg"]Hardy (Protege #0187)[/frame_center]</p>
<p>Hardy is a smaller male Aussie, weighing in at about 30 lbs. He came from a home that could no longer keep him, and now needs someone who can take him and love him forever. He is a happy boy, with good spirits who enjoys people and dogs. Hardy hasn&#8217;t met a dog he doesn&#8217;t like yet. He is very playful, and also somewhat perceptive. His foster sister doesn&#8217;t like to play and she told him that the first day he came, so Hardy has kept his distance with her. However Hardy plays with his foster brother regularly. At first he wasn&#8217;t sure how to play, but he caught on quickly and now the two boys would play all day if they could. </p>
<p>Hardy also likes people. He is a TINY bit shy at first, but not much, and he warms up to people very quickly. He loves getting treats and being petted. He&#8217;d be a cuddly lap dog if someone would let him, though he doesn&#8217;t usually get on the furniture unless invited.</p>
<p>Hardy loves to go for car rides and is good in the car. He likes to look out the window or take naps while he&#8217;s driven around. Hardy also loves toys of all shapes and sizes. He likes to play tug with rope toys and chase any toy or ball you throw. </p>
<p>One thing Hardy doesn&#8217;t like is his crate. Because he is a new dog in the house, Hardy has to stay in a crate when his foster mom is gone to work. Hardy has some anxiety in the crate and sometimes pants and barks. This is something his foster mom believes he can work through with some more training. Hardy sleeps through the night in his crate without any problems. </p>
<p>He is very perceptive to voice commands, and is the kind of dog that wants to please his owner. Hardy knows sit, down and stay. He also knows &#8220;get<br />
off&#8221; which was used when he did jump on the furniture. Hardy is housebroken and will usually whine and pace back and forth (to the door if he has access to it) when he needs to go outside. </p>
<p>Hardy would be a great sport dog for someone interested in flyball or agility because he is so easily trainable, eager to please and just generally quick and sporty. However, Hardy would also make a good family dog. As long as he gets to go on walks, and chase a ball, Hardy will always be happy. </p>
<p>He is being fostered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. If you might be interested in learning more about this dog, please email Jayne at <a href="mailto:mcjayne@yahoo.com">mcjayne@yahoo.com</a>. While we welcome your questions about this dog, all adopters are required to complete a <a href="http://protegerescue.org/ProtegeForms/Protege%20Adoption%20Application.doc">Protege Adoption Application</a> before being considered to adopt a Protege dog; our adoption fee is $200.</p>

<p>She is white with black spots and some very unique black merling on her head and face! Her fur will probably grow to a medium length. Mollie is a stunning puppy with wonderful manners. She gets along very well with other dogs, and she&#8217;s good with cats and kids!  </p>

<p>Mollie is the result of a double merle breeding, which has left her mostly blind.  But her hearing is okay and except for occasionally bumping into things, you would never know the difference!  Mollie is very laid back and lazy for her age. She prefers to just hang out and play occasionally. She loves to cuddle and insists on being a lap puppy. Miss Mollie Mae is fostering in Rochester, Minnesota. Complete an application at <a href="http://www.ns4ar.org/adoptproc.HTML">New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue</a>. <strong>Reference NS 0877</strong>.</p>

<p>Danny and his brother Tony are beautiful pure bred Australian Shepherds. Unfortunately they were not bred by individuals with any knowledge of the issues related to &#8220;double merles&#8221;. As a result of this breeding <strong>BOTH PUPPIES ARE BLIND AND DEAF</strong>. They actually have underdeveloped eyes, which appears as if they don&#8217;t have eyes at all. They are also deaf, so they can not hear any commands, or sweet sounds. </p>
<p>[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/latest-pics-010-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/latest-pics-010.jpeg"]Lethal White Puppies[/frame_center]</p>
<p>This will make their training very difficult, but not impossible. These pups are VERY smart and will thrive on scent training. It was take tons of time and patience, but it can be done. If you would like to adopt these pups, you will have to do your research and understand the types of training involved and you will be asked about what you have learned. </p>

<p>These pups desereve a special home that will love them and socialize them like any other &#8220;normal&#8221; puppy. These pups still need discipline and structure and need to be taught how to behave. They still chew on things, steal your shoes, and eventually will steal your hearts. If you are interested in adoption these sweet pups please fill out an application. Fenced yard is required. Adoption fee to be stated later.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we lost a great Aussie, a great mother and a dedicated friend. Someone that was loved by many and will be missed in a home and in our hearts.</p>
<div id="attachment_4357" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Cookie-006-400x300.jpg" alt="Cookie Just After Her Injury, and doing GREAT!" title="Cookie Just After Her Injury, and doing GREAT!" width="400" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-4357" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cookie Just After Her Injury, and doing GREAT!</p></div>
<p>Cookie came to ARPH over a year ago with her two children, Pepper and Angel. All three came to the rescue because their forever home was one of those casualties of the economy, all three are excellent examples of what a great Australian Shepherd is. Cookie had done well teaching her pack how to treat others, human kind and animal. </p>
<div id="attachment_4358" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Cookie-009-400x300.jpg" alt="Cookie Was First To Be Santa&#039;s Elf" title="Cookie Was First To Be Santa&#039;s Elf" width="400" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-4358" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cookie Was First To Be Santa&#039;s Elf</p></div>
<p>Tuesday March 8th, 2011, we all are poorer and all just a little less entertained by the loss of Cookie. Cookie was 15 years old, she had delivered many puppies in her life, and she was able to finish out her final years in the home of Lisa and Loren. Even though I was no longer an ARPH rep or with their organization, I made sure to stay in touch with Lisa and Loren to know just how my girl was doing. She was always a fighter in life and in the end, cancer took her from us. </p>
<div id="attachment_4356" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Cookie-005-400x300.jpg" alt="Cookie&#039;s Favorite Bed" title="Cookie&#039;s Favorite Bed" width="400" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-4356" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cookie&#039;s Favorite Bed</p></div>
<p>I would like all the Aussies and Aussie lovers to say a small prayer for Cookie, and I hope to meet her at the bridge when my time comes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our little Australian Shepherd named Storm, has End Stage Liver Disease. He was adopted from us no less then 3 months ago and he was one of those little guys that touched everyone&#8217;s heart. Storm was discarded after he was no longer needed at a stud at a puppy mill. He was very afraid and timid of people, no wonder how he was treated, but his foster mom and dad gave him lots of love and lots of attention to overcome his fears, and after many months we finally found Storm a fantastic home, he melted right in and has been a great ambassador to our rescue and cause.</p>

<p>Storm passed away on Monday after a hard battle, his family tried everything they could but he just couldn&#8217;t make it. Please send your prayers to his family, and know he is now awaiting their appearance at the bridge, helping all our Aussies come and feel welcome and wait with them for their families.</p>
