Australian Kelpie puppies and dogs in Spokane, Washington

What’s the opposite of the runt? Meet Rusty Griswold! Rusty Griswold is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see information below in the “Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue” section). Born on October 14, 2024, handsome Rusty Griswold is a young black and chocolate brown colored Australian kelpie mix puppy with a stunning, almost tiger striped pattern. We estimate he will be a medium size dog when grown. Rusty Griswold is part of the Christmas Vacation litter, and he traveled with his mom and seven siblings from the Bi-Stone Rescue in Mexia, Texas to find new homes in the PNW area. All feet and floppy ears, Rusty Griswold is just a total goofball. The largest of the litter by almost a full pound (which is a lot when he weighs about 8.5 lbs.), friendly, active Rusty Griswold is playful and loves to roughhouse with his siblings. Tug of war is a favorite pastime for him, and he will take on several of his smaller siblings at once. He gets along well with the dogs and children in his foster home. Rusty Griswold isn’t all play, all the time though. He settles down quickly after his exertions and knows how to use his voice when he wants attention from people. This affectionate boy isn’t too big to snuggle with you, and he enjoys curling up with a warm human on these cold winter nights. Rusty Griswold is a very young puppy and has recently started on his training. He spends a few hours at a time in his crate, and he has begun potty training. When old enough, he will begin walking on a leash and learn basic obedience. Rusty Griswold loves food, so when he figures out he will get treat rewards for the desired behaviors, he will be very happy. Rusty Griswold’s ideal home? He seeks someone to love who will love him in return and will ensure he learns the skills that will make him a happy and well-rounded dog. Rusty Griswold would do well in a home with kids, dogs, and cats; lots of cuddles, play, and activity would make him the happiest of pups. Does this sound like your home? Want to meet Rusty Griswold?

Demure, Mindful, Adorable! Meet Margo Chester! Margo Chester is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see information below in the “Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue” section).  Born on October 14, 2024, sweet Margo Chester is a young black, brown and tan colored Australian kelpie mix puppy with darker facial markings. We estimate she will be a medium size dog when grown. Margo Chester is part of the Christmas Vacation litter, and she traveled with her mom and seven siblings from the Bi-Stone Rescue in Mexia, Texas to find new homes in the PNW area. We are currently taking applications for Margo Chester, and she will be able to go home with an adopter after her spay surgery in mid-December. Gentle and affectionate, Margo Chester won’t be the first puppy in the litter to greet new people or animals. Rather than push her way through the scrum of siblings rushing at everything, she waits for her chance to explore new guests with the most attention to detail. Once Margo Chester has conducted her assessment, she settles in for snuggles and seeks to be the center of your attention. Less rambunctious than some of her littermates and the second smallest of eight, she eschews rough play in favor of chewing on her toys (and whatever else is in her vicinity; she is a very young puppy, after all). She’s very demure, very mindful, and absolutely adorable.  Margo Chester is a very young puppy and is settling into a foster home with her mother and siblings. When old enough, she will begin potty, leash, and obedience training. We will be learning more about Margo Chester in the coming days, so please check back for more information. In the meantime, Margo Chester is spending her days getting lots of cuddles, playtime, love, and new adventures with her foster family. Margo Chester is growing into a healthy, active, affectionate pup ready for her new home.  Margo Chester’s ideal home? She seeks someone to love who will love her in return and will ensure she learns the skills that will make her a happy and well-rounded dog.

A Pup Who Knows What She Wants! Meet Audrey Griswold! Audrey Griswold is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see information below in the “Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue” section). Born on October 14, 2024, sweet Audrey Griswold is a young, mottled gold and brown colored puppy (almost brindle on her face) with lighter toes. Audrey Griswold is part of the Christmas Vacation litter, and she traveled with her mom and seven siblings from the Bi-Stone Rescue in Mexia, Texas to find new homes in the PNW area. We are currently taking applications for Audrey Griswold, and she will be able to go home with an adopter after her spay surgery in mid-December. Funny and curious, Audrey Griswold knows what she wants in life. She loves attention, and she isn’t shy about letting you know when she wants some, whether it is from her mama or the closest human. Vocal in an endearing way, she adores being picked up and often prefers attention over eating. Energetic Audrey Griswold can be a bit rambunctious; when playing with her siblings, she will often steal their toys. She is always up for a game of rough house and tires out her littermates. She is also quite smart; she was the first to figure out how to escape from the pen. Audrey Griswold is a very young puppy and is settling into a foster home with her mother and siblings. When old enough, she will begin potty, leash, and obedience training. We will be learning more about Audrey Griswold in the coming days, so please check back for more information.

Small but Mighty! Meet Clark Griswold! Clark Griswold is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see information below in the “Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue” section). Born on October 14, 2024, handsome Clark Griswold is a young black and tan colored Australian kelpie mix puppy with lighter facial markings and legs. We estimate he will be a medium size dog when grown. Clark Griswold is part of the Christmas Vacation litter, and he traveled with his mom and seven siblings from the Bi-Stone Rescue in Mexia, Texas to find new homes in the PNW area. Friendly, affectionate and gentle, Clark Griswold may be the smallest of the Christmas Vacation pups, but he thinks he is a big as the rest of the pack. A lower energy puppy, he enjoys tug of war, and he will eagerly take on littermates who are 30% larger than he is! However, he isn’t as rambunctious as they are, and if the game gets too rough for his liking, he will go find a lap or a comfy place to sit out the shenanigans.  Clark Griswold enjoys the company of other dogs and children; he especially likes anyone who will cuddle with him. Snuggling with you is Clark Griswold’s absolute favorite thing to do. He will settle in for a cuddle, giving little kisses before he falls asleep, and stay there contentedly until you decide you need to move. This former Texas dog turned WA couch potato misses the warmth, and he values people for their body heat as well as their quality companionship. Clark Griswold is a very young puppy and has started his training. He will spend a few hours at a time in his crate, and he has begun potty training. When he is old enough, he will begin walking on a leash and learning basic obedience.   Clark Griswold’s ideal home?

He is a perfect smallish-medium size, roughly 40lbs with the cutest little bobtail (half tail) He is neutered, vaccinated (core DHPP & Rabies), he is microchipped and has had deworming treatment. What I can say about Rowdy ‘Riffic is that he has been in foster for a few months while we got to know him and he is AWESOME. He is very engaged with training, is super smart, & VERY food motivated. He is very much a heeler but is also soooo sweet and a total cuddle buddy. He is great with other dogs in a small group (chaos and over stimulation is kryptonite for a heelers instincts to herd and nip) and is great with my cat Mack too. He is crate trained and when he is in the house he wears a belly band for two reasons #1 he occasionally will attempt to lift his leg but #2 somewhere along the line he developed a coping behavior (likely from stress) where he mouths/chews his upper thigh area causing the beginning of granulomas and a belly band helps him to not have access to it. He is doing it less and less every day now that he has a stable environment where he getting his mental, physical, and emotional needs met. If you are interested in Rowdy: ** You MUST be active and live an active lifestyle. **You MUST be committed to crate training and setting clear boundaries and expectations to ensure his mental & physical needs are met daily.  **You MUST enroll in and complete the @methodk9 Basic Foundation program (we are able to offer a 50% discount for our approved adopters) ##1847781##
