Story
Kelpies are bred to run along the backs of sheep while herding them. They are smart and agile dogs who love their jobs and love to please their owner. Meet Brutus. This handsome boy is shy to warm up at first but full of so much love and affection once he knows you. He has never met a set of stairs he does not want to run up and down a few times and LOVES to romp in the snow. Brutus does great in the car, is housebroken, knows how to sit, and is eager to learn more tricks. He would make an excellent obstacle course dog or a good running buddy.

Story
BELLA IS CURRENTLY IN A FOSTER HOME. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MEETING WITH HER, PLEASE REACH OUT TO PRAS-FOSTER@NNVA.GOV.Here is a bit from Bella`s foster:`Bella is a very sweet and sometimes shy girl. She is cautious with new people but as long as they approach her calmly she warms up quickly. She is a cattle dog so she wants to control the chaos around her. She will do best in a chill environment with few people and fewer animals (less chaos). She shows some signs that she didnt come from the best of homes as she sometimes cowers when you move too fast around her. She also has separation anxiety and will need you to be patient and work on it with her. She does well with other dogs that are more relaxed and not in her face. She gets riled up when she`s in the yard and she sees other dogs in the distance or in a yard nearby. She likes to cuddle and enjoys all the belly rub and any love she can get. She loves to run and play and be anywhere her person is.`Hi there, I`m Bella! I`m a cuddly, smart, and gentle girl, but don`t let that fool you - I can be quite the goofball! I love a good laugh and a playful romp. Energy? I`ve got it in spades! Yet, I can be a little shy at times. Loyalty is my middle name. I`m a Cattle Dog, so I`ll need an experienced owner who understands my breed. I get along well with my fellow canines (so long as they are appropriate), so if you have other dogs, that`s great- I`d love to meet them! Adopting me means gaining a loyal friend who will always keep you smiling and active. So, what do you say? Are you ready for a life filled with laughter, love, and loyalty? That`s what I offer. Choose me, and let`s start our forever journey together!*No small children- she can get anxious*Any children who live in the home or frequent the home should be monitored to ensure appropriate behavior around this dog. *She IS good with dogs, so long as they are appropriate and not too rowdy. A dog to dog meet will be required. *She will need to meet with any family in the home to ensure it is a good fit. *Cattle Dog experience preferred.
