Story
Maddie is the EINSTEIN of Kelpies! She is the rarest of the rare- an ALL BLACK Kelpie GIRL. This working breed is highly human-bonded: a loyal and especially LOVING FAMILY DOG.

This is a ONCE IN A LIFETIME opportunity for the RIGHT FAMILY with Land, Knowledge, and an owner who understands these kinds of breeds. THE IDEAL home will offer a large fenced property, a family experienced with the tempraments and intelligence of Kelpies, Aussies, Border Collies, etc. Miss MADDIE will offer YOU... an AMAZING INTELLIGENCE (beyond ANY other dog you have EVER had~) a SEA of LOVE and ABSOLUTE LOYALTY, a deep companionship and the ability to alert to protect your property if that is ever necessary. If YOU can offer Miss Maddie the perfect FURever home, respond ASAP with a PHONE NUMBER that you will answer when our Volunteer Coordinator calls you, and suggest a SPECIFIC TIME WINDOW that is best for you. Miss Maddie is ONLY available to homes in San Diego County. Lets chat- she is one of our FAVORITES! We have LOTS of great information about this BEAUTY!

Story
Classic Kelpie girl, NICE NIKITA is a 2yo Sweetie. It is an absolute pleasure to work with this adorable girl! Nikki demonstrates the Superior Intelligence of working breeds in everything she does. From her loving nature to her quick learning, this family doggy is a STAR! The IDEAL HOME will have two (or even LOTS more!) children, a VERY LARGE FENCED YARD, as well as someone home most of the time. Kelpies crave time to give their love and companionship. This is NOT an apartment dog. If you're looking for a FABULOUS girl to entertain your family, join you on daily RUNNING (or even walking) go hiking/beach/baseball games, THIS IS YOUR GIRL! We hardly have to mention that Nikki is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING- everywhere she goes she turns heads! Her grace, poise and charm turn heads. She is alert and aware of everthing in her environment. Also on her Doggy Resume is RODENT CONTROL! If you have a gopher or rodent issue of any kind, this FAST and bright girl will save you thousands of dollars in Pest Control. Nikki is an alpha girl, so any companion doggy should be mellow. She has not been tested with felines, but generally Kelpies are known to do well with family HOUSE cats (we can't guarantee outdoor cats though!) Australian Kelpies are in the same category as Aussies, Border Collies, etc. They are ALL VERY VERY VERY VERY Smart. That means they are NOT ideal for first time dog owners who have had no experience with these kinds of breeds. Nikki has basic training and the ideal adoption candidate to be her new family will be prepared to CONTINUE her training the minute she graces your front door. LET THIS SUMMER be remembered as the year YOUR FAMILY ADOPTED THE BEST, ONCE IN A LIFETIME DOG ever! To get an immediate interview to be on the list, respond with a PHONE NUMBER and SCHEDULE a SPECIFIC TIME WINDOW when our Volunteer Adoption Counselor will call you. (Our volunteers all take time from their own famililes/work/lives to help! No one wants to play endless telephone tag when phones are unanswered ) For the family who has been looking for the perfect FAMILY dog, CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY! This is the ONLY Australian Kelpie we have EVER had in our Rescue. She is highly valuable and impressive- we are committed to getting her into the IDEAL home so Nikkie can begin LOVING a new family and enjoying SUMMER IN SAN DIEGO!

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer TRUE! We're so CRAZY, all for the LOVE OF YOU! YOU'd look sweet, upon the seat... of a BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO! Daisy is a RARE BLACK KELPIE GIRL! And oh boy is she just the cuddliest, LOVE BUG EVER! Sharp as a whip, she senses your moods, she might even do your Calculus Homework if you leave it laying around ;-) Miss Nancy even let us dress her up for her photo shoot (and she didnt object to our foolishness, like many other puppers might ;-) THIS IS a dog who will happily bed down at the foot of your bed equally as well as guarding your home and property. Give her a job to do and she will excel at ANYTHING! If you have ever done AGILITY, this girl would just FLY through the air, learn the entire course in the wink of an eye, find your lost cell phone and hand you the car keys before you put down your Starbucks! DAISY, the DUKES OF HAZARD have NOTHING on YOU!!!! THE IDEAL HOME and FAMILY for Miss Daisy will have a good sized play yard for ball throwing and running, wonderful loving family members home most of the day, experienced dog owners who love to see their BEAUTIFUL DOG THRIVE! If that is YOU, call us IMMEDIATELY- Miss Daisy is interviewing TOP TIER families in San Diego RIGHT NOW! Respond with a phone number, and INCLUDE THE BEST TIME TO CHAT! GET MISS DAISY into your home before the Fourth of July- you can see she ALREADY has her 4th of July Costume READY! (NOTE: Adoptions ONLY in San Diego County. No exceptions, thank you)
