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 great 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. 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 $350. 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
MEET TONNIE Meet our special needs girl, Tonnie. ❤️ Tonnie is a 8 month old, Australian Kelpie mix that is funny, silly, and a perfect puppy who happens to be blind. She would love to play all day long if you let her, and she has endless fun with her foster siblings, including cats. One of her favorite activities is feeling the dirt between her toes, which means she would love a sandbox of her very own for digging purposes. We are working on her puppy tendencies, and while she may playfully run away when scolded, it's hard to stay upset at her when everything is a game. She might have a little vision in the corner of one eye, but at night, she’s completely blind. Tonnie needs someone who understands her and has patience. She is still a bit afraid of new people and noises but is slowly calming down. She is kennel trained but doesn’t like to feel cornered when approached by strangers, which is understandable. Tonnie is the happiest dog I’ve ever fostered! Her constant silliness and happy-go-lucky attitude are always making me laugh and shake my head in amusement. We could all learn a bit from blind dogs.
