These three tiny siblings are Cassie’s babies! All three of them are deaf, but their eyesight is just fine. They are mini Aussies and will probably not get over 25lbs full grown. They have some blue merling on their backs and they are very well socialized with kids, cats and other dogs! They will be fostering in Minnesota.

Meet Cassie a 3 year old blue merle mini Australian Shepherd female, who is also a mini. Cassie had a littler of puppies. She is 16 pounds, loves other dogs and people.
Meet Taree, a 3 month old blue merle female Lethal White Australian Shepherd. She will probably grow up to be about 40 pounds. She is deaf and will need a family that wants to work with a dog with a disability.
Taree is a very strong willed girl, she does guard her food and will need patience to over come that problem, she also tends to be selfish with toys, again this is a resource issue. Taree rides well in a car and is working on leash manners. She does get along with other dogs, but we suggest you bring the family dog to make sure they are willing to play together.

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.
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 our little 14 week old blue merle Australian Shepherd. Onyx is a very cuddly and happy little girl. Onyx is in a home with 2 younger Australian Shepherd puppies, Adah and Cana and she plays great with her 2 younger sisters.
Also in the home are 2 older dogs, a cat and a Guinea Pig, all are welcome in Onyx’s book. She is potty trained and has all the rules in the house down to a science.
Onyx is being fostered in Bloomington Illinois and ready for her forever home. Complete an application at New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue. Reference NS 0929.
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.
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.
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. 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.
Flye is a handsome 6 month old blue merle male with a full tail. He is shy but very sweet. He is craving human attention! He is also a leaner when you pet him! Flye is great with other dogs and he’d love to come home with you! Fostering in Mount Horab, Wisconsin.
Say hello to your new best friend! Xander is a 2 yr old, 55 lb blue merle Australian Shepherd with a mission. He wants you to know he is always nearby, ready to go. His big blue eyes shine with joy as he hops in the car to go to the park or PetSmart. The dog trainer at our local PetSmart remarked how quiet and attentive he was when she greeted him.
Xander defies the Aussie reputation by his friendly, laid-back attitude. When introduced to new people, he will wait respectfully for them to greet him. He is currently fostered with four children ages 10 to 6 and joins in their antics happily. This is one guy ready for any active family. Xander would blend nicely with dogs already in your home, as he currently lives with Aussies and Corgies. He also has played very well with the Rottweiler and the Pomeranians that live on either side of his foster home. Xander is colored like a double merle or “lethal white,” but has shown no hearing or sight problems. He is learning to come when called and is fully housebroken. He is reliable when left alone or overnight, but will crate up when you ask him. Xander is unusual that he is not food-motivated, but loves to play with tug toys. This makes a good reward for him when he sits or comes when called. This is also a plus as he will not counter-surf for food. When bathed and brushed, he sits quietly to endure the process. Not his favorite, but much better than most Aussies!
Xander is a moderate energy dog, with a walk in the morning and an hour of good play at the dog park enough to make him pass out in a corner.Considering that he’s afraid of chickens, he would probably do just fine in a cat household too! If you are looking for a dog well-socialized to active kids and many different types of animals, Xander is your guy! Xander is fostering in Apple Valley, MN.

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.
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.
Harlan is a very sweet 1-2 year old Australian Shepherd Male. He loves people, including small children-he is very comfortable and gentle around them! He will bond with you right away-he is very cuddly and will follow you wherever you go. He likes to sit on laps and nuzzle his head on whoever is giving him attention. Harlan has very nice personality-he is medium energy, so he has occasional bursts of puppy-like playfulness, but he is very calm most of the time. He also loves other dogs and does not show any aggression toward them. He is ready to play immediately upon meeting a new doggy friend! He is not possesive of food or bones-if another dog growls at him, he will back down and not challenge them. Harlan also loves kids!!!
Harlan is very smart, also. He is crate-trained and working on his manners in the house. After only a few corrections for going “potty” indoors he is doing remarkably well. He is very eager to please, so training will be a breeze, I think. He is very food motivated also. He likes to jump up, but not in a boisterous way-more like-”I like you and I want to get closer to you!” He is working on this also.
Harlan has a nice, soft coat and a fluffy white tail. He is medium-sized, about 40 pounds. He loves car rides and is very well-behaved when riding. Heis working at walking nicely on a leash. He would make the perfect family pet! Harlan is fostering in Cadott Wisconsin. To adopt Harlan complete an application at New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue. Reference NS 0847
Meet Adah our little Texas girl, at 10 weeks old and a blue merle Australian Shepherd female, she was brought all the way after the major blizzard of 2011. She is growing into a great little girl, she is a little bossy, and she loves to lay in your lap. Adah is in a home with her other sister Cana and another puppy named Onyx. They all play perfect together.
There is also 2 other adult dogs in the home and she is great with them as well. She also plays with the cat and the household Guinea Pig. We have been working on her socialization skills and she is an ace! With a 12 year old girl in the home and all her friends, well Adah is great at all the girl sleep-overs and even we think has picked up on some girl talk and has learned how to text with her paws.
Meet Coral, a 4 year old beautiful blue merle female Australian Shepherd. She weighs around 45 pounds and is housebroken, and crate trained. She craves attention as most Aussies will do.
Coral loves to cuddle be be loved on. Coral is good around other dogs but will chase a cat if given the chance. She loves to play fetch and will chase and return a ball all day.
Coral is currently taking obedience classes and already walks well on a leash and has great recall to her name (Cinder). She really enjoys playing in the snow and hanging outside.
Coral will require a strong ALPHA presence in the way of an owner as she does display some resource guarding issues and potentially may be best as an only dog. That or a submissive dog would need to be her partner.
Meet Mr. Burns, no not the one that Homer doesn’t like but the good Mr. Burns. You see Burns is from Kentucky, and we think he was used to sire many puppies in a puppy mill, in other words a puppy mill stud, who was probably no longer needed to perform his duties. Well in the puppy mill world you are pretty much out the door, either dumped, put to sleep or worse kept in a crate until you die. Lucky for Burns he was able to find his way to a shelter, only to be set for the long walk, you see Mr. Burns had lots of strikes against him, he was old, he was blind in one eye, he has teeth worn down to the numb from chewing on the wires in his crate, he was arthritic, and he didn’t have a gleam of hope in his eyes. He was then transferred to another shelter to buy him 10 more days of life while rescues were pleaded with to take this old gentleman.

Burns was able to get to us at New Spirit, and he touched every heart along the way, causing many to cry and many to give him well deserved hugs and attention. Who was this thrown away Australian Shepherd that touched so many on his journey to safety?

So now meet the new and improved Mr. Burns, he is around 42 pounds, he is around 10 years old, we are working on his eye (we will probably have it removed, we aren’t sure on getting him a prosthetic eye, but if we can receive enough in donations, this guy can walk away with some additional pride!) as well as we will remove some of his teeth from the years of crate containment.

Mr. Burns when he arrived was very timid and unsure, but since he has been in his foster mom and dad’s spread up in Wisconsin, he has been given a new lease on life, he gets to have 2 other Aussies in the home to interact with, though they tend to ignore him, he is fine with that, he is just happy to not be crated, and allowed to actually loosen up his legs and run like the wind!
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/PC120005-2-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/PC120005-2.jpg"]NS 0840 Mr. Burns[/frame_center]
Mr. Burns rides well in a car, walks good on a leash, is learning to chase a ball, he is completely a gentleman and uses the great outdoors to do his business. He is getting used to what it’s like in a house and he is in heaven.

So if you think that everyone deserves a second chance, and an old Aussie who was made to sire a many a pup, is worth giving 4-5 more years in your home, we would be delighted, and so would Mr. Burns. If you would like to help offset the MAJOR medical bills he has incurred, please help out there as well, we have a Chip In jar online for him. Chip in HERE!

We would like to give an update on Mr. Burns, he had his eye surgery the other day and he is very uncomfortable, so any prayers and good vibes his way would really help him out. Mr. Burns will have one more surgery in a few months to remove some bad teeth. It really pains us to put him threw this as he doesn’t understand we are only trying to help him.

Meet Gianna who came all the way from Kansas with her brother Roy (Alex). Gianna is a 8 month old blue merle female Australian Shepherd with the most striking blue eyes. Gianna spent her life outside in a kennel with her brother. But this girl is so smart that she is almost instantly house broken.
Gianna gets along great with humans of all sizes, and she plays great with her foster brother and the foster cat. Gianna learns quick and loves to play with toys, as she always has one on her mouth. She plays wrestles great with Dash her foster brother (another New Spirit success story!)

Meet Embry a dynamic 2 year old blue merle male Australian Shepherd who weighs around 40 pounds. Embry is a merle to merle or what is referred to as a Lethal White Aussie. He is deaf, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying life and making his foster family smile at his antics.
He is house broken and does well on a leash. He gets along great with other dogs and he is always wiggling his butt. Embry is currently learning his sign language and we would hope he goes to a home with another dog, an Aussie would be great, that can act as his ears.
Bounce is a 18 month old blue merle male Australian Shepherd. Bounce is around 40 pounds and has a personality that matches his name. Bounce is a little on the active side, and would do best in a home with a strong alpha figure as well as another Aussie or strong leadership type dog.
Bounce is good with other dogs, he is okay with cats, and he gets along well with children, though toddlers are probably not a good choice. Bounce walks well on a leash and knows basic commands, Bounce would benefit from a family that would like to keep Bounce active, as that will keep him worn down.
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.

We are reintroducing Toby (Protege #0167)! Toby is a very handsome and sweet 6 year old neutered blue merle male mini Aussie (about 30 pounds) with adorable and unique prick ears. He was turned into the rescue last summer by his owner who was moving and unable to take him.
We have been so surprised that no one is expressing any interest in Toby, because his personality is about perfect. Check out that smile! Whether you are looking for your first dog, or just for a companion to keep you company and to keep you entertained, Toby would fit the bill perfectly! He is funny and playful, loves toys and can entertain himself carrying a stuffed toy around and tossing it in the air. He has not been destructive at all with his toys. He LOVES to play fetch, so is lots of fun for the kiddies (not to mention for the adults). He always brings the ball right back for another toss. He will also catch a ball or a toy when it’s tossed to him.
Toby knows various commands like sit, stay, come, wait, and roll over, as well as paw and other paw (shake). Toby walks well on leash and really enjoys going on walks, whether you want a nice brisk walk on a cold winter day, or have time for a leisurely walk so he can enjoy the smells of the world.
Toby enjoys being outside, and has a good thick coat for these chilly winter days. He wanders and explores in the fenced backyard at his foster home. He is not a nuisance barker; in fact, he is rarely heard. He is graceful and agile — he jumps up into the bay window at his foster home without a second thought so he can sit and watch the world pass by outside. (And, unlike his foster brother and sister, he doesn’t bark at the world as it passes by.)
Toby has been crated when left alone, but is dependable in the house and this would not be necessary. He has been with cats and they are of no consequence to him. (Yet another plus for this awesome little guy!)
While Toby gets along perfectly fine with other dogs, we really prefer that he be adopted as an only dog, because he is 100% a people dog. If there is another dog in the home, he will be happier not to have to interact with it, and he is not the right choice for you if you need a playmate for a current dog. He is submissive and lets other dogs take his beloved toys; he even has a bit of a hard time eating with other dogs around because he is worried they will take his food. Consequently, other dogs tend to pick on him.
He is wonderful with all people, though, and we are confident that his personality will really blossom in a home where he can get all the love and attention. Toby is a love bug and so enjoys being petted and rubbed. He takes treats very gently, another plus if you have little ones in your home.
Here are a couple of videos of Toby showing how much he likes his stuffed football (sorry the light on the inside one is so poor, but trust us, he’s adorable!):
Toby is up to date on his vaccinations and is currently on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives. He is being fostered in Marion, Iowa. If you might be interested in learning more about Toby, 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.

Joe is a quiet dog and has a very easy going temperment. He does not jump on people and has excellent house manners. I think any family would live happily with Joe!

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?

So if you can help offset the costs to give Mr. Burns a great life, with no pain, and some well deserved pride, then Chip In! He, We all of us here at New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue would be grateful.
Remember our service dog Timothy? He is the one that was told to retire, and then told he would be put down because he went deaf and couldn’t do his job? Well Amy saved him and we held on to him long enough to find a foster spot out on the East Coast, at a home that actually helps save seals! So Timothy will be in good hands and will have a good chance for adoption when he doesn’t have to compete with our puppies.

When Timothy got to his new foster home, he decided to lay next to the Christmas tree, he must have felt like he was the gift to the foster home, and he was!
Timothy was transfered to the East Coast as we felt his options were better out where people are not so blessed with lots of dumped or surrendered Aussies. His chance for adoption will be so much better and he deserves his shot at a new home.
Meet Timothy, a 12 year old blue merle Australian Shepherd Mix. Timothy was a service dog for the deaf, for almost ten years and gave his whole life to his human. He would let her know when someone was at the door, if the alarm clock was ringing, or if the phone needed to be answered. He even assisted her to cross the street. You see Timothy was a very dedicated dog to assisting and knowing what his job was.
Fast forward to today, Timothy has gone deaf, he was no longer able to do his job, and so the service dog organization felt it was time for him to head to the bridge, but his human would not have it, he deserved to have a few years of retirement left. So now Timothy is now with New Spirit and we are looking for a home that will let Timothy do a little work, he is extremely smart, walks well on a leash, wants to be near you at all times, and rides well in a car.
Since he was a service dog, he really was never socialized with other dogs, so he would be best in a home without another dog, he is timid with strangers, but will open up. Timothy just needs some time to adjust to retirement. So if you feel you are someone that wants to offer this senior retired gentleman a small job and a warm bed, we want to talk.
