Meet Sae Dee!!!

Sae Dee is a gorgeous 5yo blue merle female Australian Shepherd. She’s a ‘tweenie’ Aussie, which means she’s bigger than a mini but smaller than a standard!  She’s the perfect size!  She’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.

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’s an easy goinggirl whose fun to be around.

Sae Dee is fostering in Farmington, MN. Please fill out the ADOPTION APPLICATION to get started! Thank you for looking!

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 ‘sorcerer’s’ appearance. Merlin recently lost the love of his life, whom he’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.

Merlin gets along great with other dogs, and even gets along with cats and children! He’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’s not completely deaf, but much of it is gone. But he’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!

Merlin is fostering in Champlin, MN. Please fill out the ADOPTION APPLICATION to get started!  Thank you for looking!

Tebow Protege 0200

Tebow is great both inside and outside the house as well as on car rides. He loves every dog he meets and is good with new people. Tebow is still learning not to jump up, but seems to learn fast and is only jumping now when he’s VERY excited after his foster mom comes home from a long day at work. Tebow would prefer to go to a home where there is another dog for him to play with, or a large area for him to run. He is a big dog with a lot of energy to burn, but he does know how to calm down and relax inside the house.

At first Tebow would jump on his foster mom’s furniture, but after only two reminders he has stayed off the couches and beds completely. He likes to sleep in the bedroom, on the floor beside the bed at night. Tebow sleeps through the night and doesn’t ever fuss. He is completely housebroken and paces at the door when he needs to go out.

Tebow loves to play with toys, other dogs and people. He is great at fetch and sometimes likes to tug. His previous owners generally left him outside in a fenced area during the day when they were at work – but as his foster mom quickly discovered, Tebow can jump a 4 ft chain link fence with no problem. Tebow however does not attempt to jump fences when his foster mom is outside with him taking care of the yard, picking up poop, reading or playing with him. His foster mom has also purchased a 50′ tie-out to put Tebow on for 20-30 minutes at a time so he can go outside without her and still play with his foster brothers and sisters in the yard without his foster mom worrying about him jumping ship! (A tie-out is NOT a long-term solution for Tebow.) Once he gets to know his foster mom better, she believes he probably wouldn’t stray far if he did jump. She saw him with his previous owners and they didn’t even keep him on a leash. Tebow stayed right with them and hung on their every word! He’s clearly a dog who likes to please his owner and is very trainable.

Tebow has not been in a crate/kennel often, but has done well transitioning to staying in one for short periods of time (2-5 hours) with his foster mom. The first morning Tebow was alone in his crate he barked quite a bit – but his foster mom has worked with him and the next two mornings Tebow did a great job and was very quiet. Tebow would be a GREAT dog for almost any owner, but he would prefer to go to a home with an active family that would take him to the park, dog
park, on bike rides or walks. Tebow knows “sit”, “down” and “come”.

Tebow is currently being fostered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. If you might be interested in learning more about him, 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 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.

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.

Rocket is a 62 pound, 5 year old, black and white Border Collie. Though he is not an Aussie, Border Collies share many of the same traits (highly intelligent, trainable, etc.). He is completely housebroken with no accidents since he was a young pup. He has been crated in the past, but currently is gated in the back room of our house when he can’t be out and about.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Face-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Face.jpg"]NS Private Rocket[/frame_center]

Rocket is an unusual Border Collie in that he isn’t high energy and he doesn’t require a lot of exercise. He enjoys playing fetch, but is equally content lying down near the humans. He is very trainable and learns commands quickly – usually within 20 minutes or so of repetition. Due to his size and minor hip dysplasia, he is not much of a jumper, so could not learn agility, but he retained most basic obedience commands learned in his training as a pup. He knows tricks such as “sit pretty” (sits on hind legs and puts front paws on your knees), “high five”, “say hello” (nose to hand), and “paw”. We give Rocket Cosequin for his hip and he seems to have no pain or problems whatsoever. He is neutered and incredibly healthy in all other respects with his shots updated every year.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Smiling-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Smiling.jpg"]NS Private Rocket[/frame_center]

Rocket gets along fairly well with his 9 year old Border Collie/Austrailian Heeler sister, Darla. Unfortunately, he has started fights and had some resource issues in the past so cannot be left alone with her unwatched. He doesn’t actively seek companionship from Darla and would be happier in a home without other dogs or pets. We went to a trainer with expertise in Border Collies and she thought that he could be trained out of his dog/resource aggression.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/RocketRight-400x316.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/RocketRight.jpg"]NS Private Rocket[/frame_center]

Rocket is very obedient in the yard and will come when called 99% of the time. With a little training, it could be 100%. He is very food motivated, and is very gentle when taking treats. True to his name, he has occasional fits of energy and runs around our yard like a rocket. Then he takes a nap in the sunshine. He would be very happy in a home with a fenced in yard where he can play fetch and run.

[frame_center src="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BicycleBoy-400x300.jpg" href="http://www.aussierescueil.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BicycleBoy.jpg"]NS Private Rocket[/frame_center]

Rocket is very good with new people when they are properly introduced. He is not fond of people who seem to be intruders. If he is in a yard, it should be secure from unannounced visitors and especially from children. Rocket does not seem to know what they are and is afraid of them. He showed fear of kids from the time we got him as a young pup. Since we didn’t have any young children at the time, or know any, we didn’t have an opportunity to acclimate him. We hoped that he would grow out of this fear, but we just don’t trust him with our 6 month old son and consequently have kept him in a separate part of the house unless we can give him our full attention or our son is in bed. This is unfair to Rocket, so we’ d really like to find a better home for him where he can be himself and be free to roam.

The best place for Rocket would be one with someone who is home most of the time and would like a companion. Rocket rarely barks and is generally a great guy to have around. He will play if you feel like it, but he won’t pester if you don’t. He generally just wants to be in the same room or close by to nap or roll on his back like a cat. We call him bicycle boy when he does this because his legs pump up and down like he is riding a bike.

Rocket is located in Chicago Illinois, but will travel by car within 4 hours distance for a good home. We expect him to lead a long and happy life with the right family. If you think you could be Rocket’s new best friend, please complete an application at New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue, Reference Illinois Rocket.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

Hello! My name is Stanley. I am an Aussie mix and I will be 3 years old on May 4th. My human parents adopted me when I was just a puppy, but now I have a human brother too and it has been hard for them to give everyone the attention they need.

Let me tell you about myself. I am about 50 pounds, my coat is red merle, and one of my eyes is blue. I am a medium energy dog, and I am starting to calm down a little bit as my puppy years are ending. I get along great with my human brother who is 18 months. I also have a dog brother that I get along with really well (a boxer). My favorite game is Frisbee, but any kind of fetch will do. I also love walks and runs, there is even a park here that I sometimes get to go hiking through off-leash. I never want to get too far away from my parents and I always come back whenever they call. I can get a little bit of cabin fever if I go too long without playing, so it is important that we have time to do that. When it is time to relax, I am always happy lying close by my parents.

I would love to come be a part of your family and I think I would make quite a nice addition as long as we have time to play together. I am living in Cedar Falls.

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:

Maggie is also special needs. She is a product of merle to merle breeding which can result in hearing and vision impairment. She has limited vision and hearing, none of which will keep her from becoming a treasured part of your family. There are many resources available to assist you in training Maggie and learning about life with a special needs dog.

Walter

Walter is currently in the Animal Protection League in Springfield Illinois. Our rescue would love to have him with us and in a foster home, but times are tough and we have no open homes. So if you are looking to help save, rescue, adopt, foster, or even donate to his needs, Walter is forever grateful.

Walter

It’s been a year and Walter finally has a place to stretch, to feel the warm voice, the gentle pat on his back that let’s him know he is loved.

Swan is being taught to walk on a leash better, but rides well in a car, she does chase the cat and seems to find it fun to play keep away from her foster family (we are working on that) but she is a loving girl (on her terms of course) and plays very well with other dogs, again her hi pre drive finds her playing very rough for a girl.

Panda is good in a car, pulls a little on a leash and is good with kids and other dogs. He is ready for a home and a family that will give him some exercise, and maybe teach him some minor agility.

Abila can jump and was actually caught doing a single leap out of a 6ft high kennel, though in the yard she doesn’t try to jump the fence. She also rides well in a car and walks on a leash, though she will tug a little. Walks in the pasture find her always keeping her eye on her foster family and always runs back to them when called.

Abila also gets along great with her 3 foster brothers and sisters, and has met children, and was very respectful of their presence.

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.
