Story
Sweet, energetic Ellie was found walking across a busy highway in Caldwell, Idaho, on July 20, 2024. Efforts to find her people came up empty, and on Aug. 3 she delivered seven pups. Veterinarians estimate her age to be somewhere between 1-2 years old. She’s now spayed and weighs 40 pounds. Ellie is house trained, quite affectionate and happy. She’s high energy, agile and quick, a fast learner, enjoys interesting outings and mentally stimulating activities. Ellie enjoys playing with other dogs, leaves cats to themselves; although, she will chase if they run. She eats up praise, tasty food, and lots of love. She wants to be with her people at all times and snuggles in close when it’s time to settle down. She loves to play with children who will throw toys for her to chase and who appreciate her energy. Wisdom Panel DNA on one of the puppies revealed 77% Australian cattle dog, single-digit percentages of Mini-American Shepherd, Border Collie, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, Collie. It is safe to say that Ellie is primarily Australian cattle dog. Ellie's adoption fee is $300 that includes spay, microchip and vaccines. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Ellie, please complete an adoption application located here: https://idawg.org/application.html

Story
Liz, aka Lady Elizabeth, is an Australian Kelpie mix. She is approximately 3 years old and about 36 lbs. Liz is highly inquisitive and just the sweetest bundle of joy. We love this dog’s intensity. She is going to need an active family and lifestyle. She is a tough, resilient little dog. She is intelligent, eager and enthusiastic. Liz is okay with other dogs. Though as an extremely social lady she occasionally gets a bit bossy, this results in her trying to herd her pals. She LOVES to play with her foster sister (a very dominant herder herself). They enjoy wrestling and will zoom around the yard with toys playing chase. Liz is housetrained and crate trained. She rides well in the car and loves going places with you. This social girl loves all people, occasionally is a little shy at first with strangers, but warms up quickly. We don’t know how Liz is with cats and she is probably a little too intense for young children, but okay with older children. When Liz first came into rescue we noticed she was having trouble with one of her back legs, possibly from a previous injury. In November she had hip surgery (modified femoral head ostectomy) and is now fully recovered and has been released by her surgeon. This has not slowed Lizzie down at all, but due to this she is not a candidate for competing in agility. She would be great at other dog sports! It doesn’t impede her hiking and she doesn’t require medication or follow ups! When asked to sum up living with Liz, many things came to mind. I will miss her! She’s just a delight, cute and cuddly, rather an expert snuggler, but always up for a walk or play session. Her best characteristic is her happy energy. She enjoys her routine and will benefit from sticking to a more active life style. Since her surgery, she’s gotten even braver and her hilarious antics are going to light up someone’s life. She loves my female the most. They are always playing or cuddling. She’s hiked with a lot of my friends larger dogs and did fantastically (malamutes and vizslas). Definitely worth noting she is a passionate chewer. It brings her such joy! She can be a bit destructive with her chewing so we are mindful of things left on the floor. (We’ve only lost one slipper and after a redirect she has been the perfect house guest). She is insanely fast at learning and will just need some time to acclimate to her new home! She will come with some of her favorite toys! Elizabeth is a really easy keeper. She’s a true darling with the sweetest disposition. She deserves the best life! Liz's adoption fee is $300. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. If you are interested in possibly adopting Liz, please complete an adoption application located here: https://idawg.org/application.html

Story
Born Aug. 3, 2024. South Fork is one of seven Australian cattle dog mix puppies. Wisdom Panel DNA showed 77% Australian Cattle Dog, single-digit% Mini-American Shepherd, Border Collie, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, trace% Collie. At the time of photos, Oct. 13, 2024, South Fork weighed 14.5 pounds. His nickname morphed from talk about the T-shaped “brand” on his back. Soft, affectionate, playful, and gentle, South Fork generally acts more like a Golden Retriever than a typical ACD. He loves to cuddle, explore, play, enjoy close companionship. He’s intelligent and intuitive, almost house trained already, wants to please people. South Fork needs someone who will meet his gaze with as much affection as he shows in his brown eyes, give him enriching adventures, and nurture his trust. He would love to share a home with a caring adult dog as a mentor. South Fork’s adoption fee is $300 and an additional deposit of $200 will be refunded upon proof of neuter, which is a requirement when he is between the ages of 6 and 12 months. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting South Fork, please complete an adoption applicaiton located here: https://idawg.org/application.html

Story
Born Aug. 3, 2024 in Nampa, Idaho, Bernice is one of seven ACD mix puppies. Wisdom Panel DNA showed 77% Australian Cattle Dog, single-digit% Mini-American Shepherd, Border Collie, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, trace% Collie. Her mom was taken in as a stray, looks like ACD/Shepherd cross. At the time of photos in late January Bernice weighed about 30 pounds. For those old enough to remember the famous actresses who shared a last name, Bernice presents herself as a fun mixture of elegant, gentle Audrey Hepburn and tough go-getter Katherine Hepburn. She’s sprightly, quick-minded, and charming. She can play hard with friends, loves exploring new horizons, then can settle in with her companion on the couch after a tasty dinner and enjoy a good movie. Like Audrey, beautiful Bernice will turn heads wherever she goes. Adoption fee is $300 through Idaho Domestic Animal Welfare Group (IDAWG) in Nampa, Idaho. An additional deposit of $200 will be refunded upon proof of spay, which is a requirement.

Story
Butch Otter is a male puppy born August 3, 2024. Wisdom Panel DNA showed 77% Australian Cattle Dog, single-digit% Mini-American Shepherd, Border Collie, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, trace% Collie. At the time of the photos, early November, 2024, Butch weighed 19 pounds. Good-natured Butch looked very much like a little otter in his first weeks; hence the nickname honoring Idaho’s long-time governor. Affable and entertaining, Butch doesn’t try to be a bigshot; he just enjoys being part of a pack and having fun. His caretaker says he’s adventurous, like a little land rover. He is what dog behaviorists call a “blank slate” – very much a desired trait. Butch will fit in anywhere, whether joining a family with dogs, or having a constant companion who will nurture him and bring out greatness that may well be waiting in his smart mind and winsome personality. Butch’s adoption fee is $300 and an additional deposit of $200 will be refunded upon proof of neuter, which is a requirement when he is between the ages of 6 and 12 months. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Butch, please complete an adoption applicaiton located here: https://idawg.org/application.html
