Meet Hadlee, sister to Faythe, who came in from a long drive from North Platte Nebraska. Hadlee is 8-10 weeks old and is deaf and partially blind. Sadly both were found as strays along the side of a highway. She will need a home that will give her all the love and attention you can give, and she will give even more in return. We have adopted out a few blind Aussies, and honestly, they get along like any other dogs. Hadlee and her sister are settling in just fine at their new foster home. Both girls love to play with each other and all the other dogs and animals in the home, cat included, and they also get along great with the family guard Guinee Pig! Both girls play with the kids in the home and are well on their way to potty training.

Meet Faythe and her sister Handlee, she took a nice long road trip from North Platte Nebraska. She is an 8-10 week old blue merle Australian Shepherd who is deaf. Sadly both were found as strays along the side of a highway. Both are in their foster home and checked out for all the things a regular puppy needs, and they are doing great! They play all the time and get along well with other dogs, kids of all sizes and the family cat. Even the Guinea Pig is safe when they are around.

Our little girl Shayla who was shot, then attacked when she went to a farm house for help, has been battling to save the back leg that was shot. After a long journey across Iowa that spring day bank in May, to now, we are still in a struggle to keep her as a 4-legged little girl.

Shayla is around 1 year old, she has the heart of a real trooper, she is always affectionate and loves everyone in her foster home, she gets along great with her 2 foster sisters, sometimes even sharing a bed.

Shayla also has 2 human foster brothers an she treats them like a real sister would, hanging out, and playing, but they refuse to do tea-time with her, but we will work on that, come on guys, she’s just a girl 
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Shayla-Shadow-81-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Shayla-Shadow-81.jpg"]Come On Guys, Lets Play Barbies![/frame_center]
We have put Shayla through numerous surgeries to try to save her leg, she has been in a cast for almost 12 weeks, but the latest X-rays didn’t look promising, infect there seemed to be no bone growth at all, this whole time she has been great and runs and plays with her sisters as if she was 100%.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Shayla-Shadow-29-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Shayla-Shadow-29.jpg"]The Girls Get Together[/frame_center]
So now we come to a crossroads with Shayla, our next option is to remove her leg, but we also know once it’s gone, it’s gone for good, so being the optimist we are, and her doctor feeling she has a chance, performed a new procedure this week. They are trying to revitalize the bone ends, they have put a ceramic brace around her leg to restrict any and all movement.

Meet one of the smartest Aussies we know, Qorban (aka Quincy ME) is coming to Illinois after he was adopted at the young age of 9 months old, and from there he went to earn the honors of being a therapy dog, he was top in his class. Qorban got into some trouble though, you see he was left to his onw mischief and started to chase the cattle on the farm down the road, surprise, surprise, surprise! So we are going to have to say he can’t be in a home that has any cows, we know this is a tough one for many of you, but that is what we decided.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Quincy-Nebraska-3-323x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Quincy-Nebraska-3.jpg"]NS 0811 Qorban (Quincy)[/frame_center]
Qorban is around 50 pounds, he is now 3 years old and he is deaf, but he knows all his commands, and is house-trained and crate trained. Qorban rides great in a car, though he will tell you from time to time where to go, so we suggest he rife in the backseat. Qorban also walks great on a leash. Since Qorban was therapy certified, he would probably excel back in that role again.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Quincy-Nebraska-1-315x400.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Quincy-Nebraska-1.jpg"]NS 0811 Qorban (Quincy)[/frame_center]
Qorban gets along great with other dogs, he is up to date on all his shots and he is neutered. The rescue we received him from had him with 6 other males and he never caused a fight or displayed any aggression. He is what we call a perfect dog, minus the hearing issue, but he makes up for it with lots of love and kisses.

Meet someone that just doesn’t know he is considered a special needs boy. Aenon (Ace for short) is one happy camper. He loves to play and play and play and play and play, did I mention he loves to play? Ace is in a home with 2 other adult dogs and 2 other lethal white puppies (10 wks old) and they all love life.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Aenion-Ace-1-400x384.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Aenion-Ace-1.jpg"]NS 0633 Aenon (Ace)[/frame_center]
Aenon (Ace) is around 20 pounds at the moment, but we expect him once he is past that lanky puppy phase to be around 45-50 pounds all grown up. He will need to be neutered once he is old enough, but don’t worry, we will still let him find a forever home, and we will even cover his vetting (thru one of our approve vet offices) and he will need his rabies shot at 6 months old as well, again we will cover that expense.
[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Aenion-Ace-4-400x265.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Aenion-Ace-4.jpg"]NS 0633 Aenon (Ace)[/frame_center]
Ace is working on his potty rules and doing well, he will use his crate (he sleeps through the night) and is working on his leash manners. He loves the car as well. Since Ace is a lethal white (the result of a Merle to Merle breeding) he is deaf, but he is also working on his hand signals, he already knows sit and down, and is currently in his puppy classes with his other foster sisters to learn even more commands.
