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.
Redcliffe (also known as Ruby) is a senior Red Tri Australian Shepherd female who is around 11+ years old, who weighs around 50 pounds. She is the result of her owner passing away and being left alone and afraid.
Redcliffe is a low energy, Velcro Australian Shepherd. She can get around just fine but may need a boost into the car. She walks great on leash, and is respectful of other dogs. She loves to be with you and will sit at your side while reading or keep you company while in the garden. Redcliffe is a little hard of hearing but that does not stop her or keep her from staying in range.
Redcliffe is ready for a home that would let her finish her years in peace, a home with rough or overly playful dogs would be too much for her at this age in her life. She would do fine when the grandkids came over and she is on Proin to help control her bladder.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

Br. Burns needs a few items attended to, one is a very damaged pride and ego, one that was deflated and taken so low, that many that met him felt he was the saddest and probably should be let go and pass to the bridge, we say HECK NO! He has many fine years left in him, his sadness is already going away, and he is displaying the usual Aussie butt wiggles and the happy dance that so many Aussies will do.

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?

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.

She was found as a stray on the side of the road, she was horribly matted and very skinny. She is a perfect lady, she rides perfect in a car, walks excellent on a leash and uses the outdoors to go potty.
Abbie gets along with other dogs just fine and could care less about a cat. She is probably a little deaf, but sees fine.
Abbie would be the perfect Aussie for someone that is retired, lives alone and is looking for that perfect, dedicated, devoted companion. She would be fine anywhere, we just think she deserves to be the star of the house and get all the attention she can handle as she has lived a long time and is now without that forever home, plus she needs someone that will never let her out of their sight so she knows she is loved.
