Story
Dottie’s story has become the norm. Her owner went to a nursing home and Dottie was left homeless. Her owner loved her a lot…with food, so Dottie is currently on a weight loss journey. She has gone through a lot in a short period of time, but she hasn’t let it get her down. This 4 yr old is past the puppy stage and is potty and crate trained, but would really enjoy sleeping in bed with her new family. She loves meeting people and will show her appreciation by flipping over for a belly rub. Can you be her happily ever after? Adoption fee $400. If you are interested in Dottie please fill out an application at www.adoptablefriends.org

Story
Bentley is fostered in Pleasonton, KS. Meet Bentley.  Bentley was surrendered to us when his owner had some medical issues and was unable to continue caring for him.  Bentley came in a little under-socialized and slightly overweight. Bentley is 3 year old male Australian Shepherd mix who is working towards his ideal weight of approximately 50 lbs.   Bentley needs a hero.  Bentley previously spent great deal of time in his crate.  For this reason, he did not receive proper socialization. Socialization is something his foster home has diligently been working on with him.  She has been de-sensitizing him to many things, including leash walking, grooming, other dogs and other people.  Bentley previously experienced some fears in some area, but he really has put in a lot of work and he is making wonderful progress in all areas.   Bentley is a low-key guy who is looking for an adopter who enjoys the same type of lifestyle. He prefers a home where there are less comings and goings.  We also recommend a physically fenced yard and a home that is both patient and has no children under age 12.  Bentley is a talker. The more you talk to him, the more he expresses his feelings.  Bentley is what we term a "work in progress", but he is the type of dog that will quickly become your best friend once trust is gained between you.  Are you looking for your new best friend? Bentley is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms.  Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.  For more information on our adoption process or to complete an adoption application, please visit our website at www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org. NOTE:  All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers so we need an approved application on file to set up a meet with a dog you might have an interest in.  Please visit our website for more information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application.  We pride ourselves on matches that work for both the dog and your family.  MASR is here for your support, advice and safety net for our dogs for the remainder of their lives.  www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org ##2407689##

Story
Ella (formerly called Bella) is fostered in Sioux City, IA Meet Miss Ella Girl – a handsome black and tan Aussie lady with a full fluffy tail!  Ella was dropped off in the shelter by someone who claimed to have found her – but turned out to be her owner who had abused her for four years. The timid girl was thin, sick and afraid of everything but was looking for love. When we brought her home, she jumped on the couch right away and tried to be a lap dog.  Ella is a 4 year old female Australian Shepherd with a gorgeous tail.  Despite her history, Ella loves people, other dogs, and cats.  Now at 50 pounds, Ella has put on some weight, gained confidence, and is now spayed. She loves to snuggle, get belly rubs, and play in the yard with other dogs. She is still timid about some things. she eyes the hairbrush with much distrust but has learned to enjoy some brushing. She does not like her paws touched too much, but doesn't fuss about nail trim and has learned (somewhat reluctantly) to shake a paw and receive a treat.   Ella goes to kennel willingly but does not like to have the kennel door closed. She is intelligent and learns fast, so further training will come easily.  Ella is housebroken and has never had an accident in the house. She loves to take walks and is great on the leash.  She is not destructive in the home, but may occasional consider counter surfing. She is a real cuddler and would like to sleep in the bed with people but is also OK sleeping in her own bed or on the couch. Like most Aussies, Ella eats everything and is especially fond of vegetables – cabbage, cucumbers, broccoli – all these are treats! Luckily, he has not figured out that these he could eat them straight from the garden. He also loves trash – especially plastic. Shee won’t eat it, but she loves to chew it – bottle caps, chapstick, pens, and such. Ella can be a bit timid when first when meeting new people but warms up to them quite fast. (Treats help!). Ella loves to play with other dogs and gets along well with the other two resident Aussies. Sometimes the play gets rambunctious and loud because Ella does love to bark!  She can get a little snappy during play, but a calm correction of “no teeth” and shewill back off. Because of this, she is probably not the best fit with little children. Ella loves cats – and usually does not chase them - most of the time the resident cat is ignored.  She has done great on car rides.  We also recommend a physically fenced yard with an adopter who will continue the training and love she has received in her foster home.  She is 100% certifiably adorable. Ella needs: A home with a secure, fenced-in yard A dedicated owner to lover her, give her confidence, and continue her training Ella Wants: Someone who will snuggle and rub her belly and take him out for walks Ella is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccinations and receiving monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworms. She does require a committed adopter who is willing to devote 1 - 2 hours of mental and physical stimulation per day.   NOTE:  All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers so we need an approved application on file to set up a meet with a dog you might have an interest in.  Please visit our website for more information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application.  We pride ourselves on matches that work for both the dog and your family.  MASR is here for your support, advice and safety net for our dogs for the remainder of their lives.  www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org ##2510770##

Story
Kenna is fostered in the St Louis, MO area. Kenna and Cooper Bear are a pair and have been together since they were puppies.While we would LOVE for them to be adopted together, we do think they could both be adopted separately and live happily.  They are NOT littermates. They are both great with other dogs, cats and kids!  The trifecta of a GOOD dog! They were surrendered to rescue due to the family not having enough time to properly care for two large dogs and a growing family. Kenna is a 6-year-old red merle female Australian Shepherd. She currently weighs about 74 lbs. She is a big girl who loves to go for walks and play fetch (but only with tennis balls), loves to be close to her person; and be your constant companion, following you from room to room.  She will run between your knees and walk with you wherever you go.  Prior to rescue, Kenna lived in a loving home with Cooper.  Kenna knows sit, stay, down, shake. She is always ready for a walk (will sit at door waiting for you to open) or a car ride, she rides like a dream. She loves to be petted and brushed.   She is being fostered with two other female dogs and does well with them.  She is also being fostered with her brother Cooper, a 6 year old black tri male. Kenna is house trained and crate trained.  She has done very well when left uncrated.  In her foster home, she does have access to a dog door and a fenced yard.  Kenna lived with a toddler and was a gentle giant with her. Kenna has done well with visitors in the house, and is happy to greet them.   Kenna is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccinations. She is also receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. If you have what Kenna needs, please visit our website at www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org to find out information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application. NOTE: All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers so we need an approved application on file to set up a meet with a dog you might have an interest in.

Australian Shepherd

Male, 1 yr 1 mo
Ringwood, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dandy is being fostered in Arlington Heights IL Introducing Dandy!  This gorgeous hunk is a one-year-old male black tri Australian Shepherd who weighs about 40 pounds and has a huge heart packed into a fun, goofy package. He’s affectionate, playful, and deeply attached to his people. Dandy is a Velcro dog who wants to be wherever you are.  He came to rescue because he was found as a stray in a rural part of MO.  The finder reached out after exhausting all avenues to try to find his humans.  He got his name because the volunteer that evaluated him before intake said how Dandy he was! We just think he is delightful and still learning about the world around him.   Personality & energy Playful, goofy, and very loving High energy but settles nicely after playtime (off switch) Loves to run, jump, and zoom around Enjoys quietly watching neighbors out the window Loves cuddling and sleeping "sunny side up" (belly-up) Would be a great fit for an active home and we recommend a home that has some experience with Aussies or other herding dogs.  People & other pets Fantastic with other dogs and would love a canine buddy. Dandy loves playing with the other dog in his foster home. He has not been tested with cats.  Can be nervous/unsure with new people at first, but warms up quickly with treats. He is totally food motivated! Can get overwhelmed in high-activity environments (like cleaning or having visitors) and will go to his crate to feel safe.  Would do best with children over 12 who can give him space to decompress and feel safe when needed.  Very affectionate - expect hugs, kisses, and constant pawing for pets. Super affectionate stud muffin!  Training & daily life Has standard puppy energy but very well behaved for a young pup (house-trained, not destructive, doesn’t chew). Often will jump up or on people to greet them, but he is learning to sit for attention and picks up on skills very quickly!  Enjoys car rides and sits very nicely in the back of cars.  Good leash manners, though he does believe every smell deserves a moment to investigate. Sniff walks are SO important for enrichment! Seems to have great recall but is very fast so a fenced in yard would be helpful. Loves his crate for relaxation and bedtime, but gets a little nervous when left alone in a crate or room. He will bark/cry, though a long-lasting chew or enrichment toy can sometimes help him settle. He does very well when left to free roam with another dog while his people are away.  Ideal Home  Dandy would do best in a home excited to share life and continue training an affectionate, high-energy dog who wants to be part of everything.  His new family should be familiar with the traits of herding breeds and prepared for his bursts of energy. He is very smart/agile and would do wonderfully in training or agility classes!  A fenced yard would be a great outlet for his zoomies, but he’d be just as happy burning energy through daily walks, playtime, and training. He’d love a canine buddy to learn from and play with He'll thrive with a patient family willing to work through his separation anxiety and help him gain confidence around new people Above all, Dandy is looking for a home that's ready for a loyal shadow and devoted lifelong companion. Dandy MUST have a crate in his forever home because he likes it and its his safe space.  Dandy SHOULD have someone familiar with the breed that is willing to continue positively socializing him with the world.  Dandy WOULD love a canine compantion, a fenced yard and someone that understands Aussies.  Dandy is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms.  Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.  For more information on our adoption process or to complete an adoption application, please visit our website at www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org.
