 Dot 
   

 

Adopted


  Hi there! Just wanted to give an update on the puppy. After having her with me for a couple of weeks
  now, I know her a little bit better. She doesn’t really have a name because she can’t hear me anyway.
  I have noticed that she does have some eyesight in her left eye. The right eye is so small right now
  that the third eyelid is blocking her eyeball from view. She has the same problem in her left eye, but in
  the evenings, or when the light is dim, it seems to be more uncovered. So much so that you can see
  her whole eye. It is crystal blue. So pretty! The vet says that maybe when she grows her condition
  will improve. If not, we may consider later if surgery is possible. I have started her on her shots. She
  gets her second set on June 19th, then the third later on. She was born on 04/18/06, so is now 8
  weeks old and weighs 10.5 lbs. She has a short stature and is very muscular/stocky.

  Very cute!
  She has a ¾ length of a tail. When she walks around and when excited it sticks straight up in the air.
  It is so funny. She has some tan markings down her back and it extends down her right front leg but
  stops short of her foot. She has become more playful, a whole lot more playful with other dogs. She
  is calm and plays gently with people though. She steers clear of my cats. When she smells them,
  she just goes the other way. She is really good about getting around both inside the house and in the
  front and backyard. When she is in the front I stay with her since there is no fence.
 
  She has responded well to touch signals. Although, I am not good about being consistent.
  Most of the time, I just end up picking her up and putting her where I want her. She really needs
  a good home.  Someone she can bond with for a lifetime. And someone who has the time to devote
  to her that she so desperately needs. I just have my hands full already and it is not fair to her. Plus,
  I don’t want to get attached. That will just make it harder for me to give her up.
 
  Please someone out there help me to help her!!! I have lots of pictures, so just email me and I will
  be happy to forward you some. If you live in Texas or close by, I will consider traveling to let you meet
  her, if you want. We can meet half way or work something out.

  If you are interested in Dot, please contact Stefanie at sdm2247@sbcglobal.net

   Dot is located north of Dallas, TX.

  He is docile with children. Tye is an outdoor dog and has not lived indoors but would probably enjoy

  Tye loves to swim and spends time swimming in his owners pond. Tye is about 35 lbs, so he is a
  smaller male. Tye is DEAF and needs an owner with a fenced yard that is willing to work with him.
  Tye also is heartworm positive and will need to be treated.

  Tye is looking for a foster home or a forever home. If you can open your heart and home to Tye,
   please contact Jeremi Clark at jeremi.clark@gmail.com.

                    Adopted

  She doesn't let any of this slow her down though! She loves to play and wrestle with her foster buddies.
  She very submissive and gets along with both males and females. She also loves trying to play with
  the cats and kittens in her foster home, but gives up quickly and is content just to watch them play.
  She's crate-trained, although she really does not care for being crated. She's working on house-training
  and is almost there.

  She's incredibly sweet, affectionate, and gentle.Bindi adores her foster mom and
  chooses/needs to be with her whenever possible! She even tries to hang out in the shower or bath with
  her foster mom!  Bindi is well-behaved by her own doing, but could benefit from some training for
 communication sake. She's a great girl that has no idea she's any different from other dogs.

  Meghann at mco75e@mizzou.edu

Aylen


   

Adopted

  Hello, my name is Aylen. I am about 12 weeks old. Last Tuesday Pima Animal Control (PACC)
  placed me on the euthanasia list because I was very thin and feeling sick. I was in a kennel all by
  myself.

  The kind souls at S.A.F.E. (Saving Animals From Euthanasia) happened to have a Foster
  that had room for another animal. They came down and couldn't resist how cute I was and took me
  to my new Foster home. My Foster Mom was so excited to meet me. I had a big secret, and it wasn't
  long before my Foster Mom found out what it was. She took me outside to go potty, and figured out
  that I was blind. She scooped me up and held me close and told me everything is going to be okay.

  Then, I met her two young dogs and we played tug-o-war. I may be little, but I was able to keep up
  with the big dogs. That night I was given my own warm bed and it was so comfortable I slept through
  the night. The next day I went to the Vet and she said that I have an upper respiratory infection and gave
  me medicine to get me better. She also checked my vision and determined that I have very limited
  vision. However, my hearing is really good. Since then, I have been enjoying my warm bed, new
  sisters, and loving Mommy. I am starting to gain some much needed weight, learning my way around
  the house and yard, and the antibiotics seem to be helping me get well. As soon as I get better, I will
  be ready to find my forever home.

  Maybe you could be my new forever family :) Can I come home with you and be your faithful dog?
  Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Dancer
 

 

Adopted


  Dancer is a little pup who has faced daunting circumstances with unbelievable spirit.  Born
  completely blind and deaf, she spent her first 3 months living in a 6x8 outside kennel full of mud and
  feces, drinking rainwater from a bucket and sharing limited food with 5 littermates.  Despite this, Dancer
  thinks life is great!  She greets everything with utter delight--dancing with joy and showering kisses.

  Dancer is a 14 week old (as of Jan. 26th) female, Australian Shepherd puppy with a full tail.  Pure
  Aussie, Dancer has lots of energy and thrives on action.  She is a curious, outgoing pup, who enjoys
  typical puppy activities like running about, carrying toys, chewing sticks, romping with other dogs,
  cuddling and petting.  She explores new environments with interest; sometimes barking and spinning
  until she orients herself (a behavior sometimes seen among deaf/blind dogs) but quickly "mapping out"
  her space.  Dancer is crate trained, working on housebreaking and learning touch signals for basic
  commands.  She has been de-wormed, has her rabies vaccine and is on schedule with her puppy shots.

  Dancer would do best in a home that would include her in their daily activities--taking her on walks,
  playing in the yard, teaching her tricks.   Dancer needs a home with a traditionally fenced yard, and
  due to her special needs, should not be placed with small children.  She would benefit from another
  canine companion in the household.

  Blind and deaf dogs can lead full and happy lives and give their owners' all the love and devotion they
  could possibly ask for.  There are many resources available to people with dogs with special needs. 

  Interested adopters are asked to refer to these web sites for further information before requesting
  application.

  Potential adopters, with completed applications, can be provided with the contact information of people
  with blind/deaf Aussies who would be willing to share their experiences.

  For an application contact Tuckhillres@aol.com

  Dancer is located in Connecticut
 


 

  

Flurry

 

Adopted


  Flurry's short life is a remarkable story of overcoming challenges.  Born functionally blind and deaf,
  she spent her first 3 months of life outside in a 6x8 kennel full of mud and poop, drinking rain water from
  a bucket and sharing limited food with 5 littermates. 

  Now in a foster home, Flurry is blossoming daily!  She is a sweet and gentle 14 week old
  (as of Jan. 26th), Australian Shepherd puppy, who enjoys all the things any pup does--exploring the
  yard, chewing bones, playing with toys, tug of war, romping with other pups, being petted and playing,
  playing, playing!  Flurry finds her way capably around her environment and is learning touch signals for
  basic commands such as sit and down.  She is crate trained and making progress with house training.

   Flurry loves human contact and is happiest being petted, sitting on your lap or lying on the floor resting
  against your feet.

   Flurry is a bit tentative in new situations and would prefer a quieter home with a predictable routine.
   However, being a typical Aussie, she will need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.  Flurry needs
  a home with a traditionally fenced yard, and due to her special needs, should not be placed with small
  children.  She would benefit from another canine companion in the household.  Blind and deaf dogs can 
  lead full and happy lives and give their owners' all the love and devotion they could possibly ask for.

Digory
 

 
Adopted


  Digory is a 14 week old (as of Jan.26th),  male, Australian Shepherd with a tail.  Digory is a very,
  very sweet and affectionate little guy.  Slightly cautious when meeting new people, or in new situations,
  his curious and loving nature quickly take over and he begins to eagerly explore and merrily greet. 

  Digory's all white coloring comes from being the product of a merle to merle breeding.  Unfortunately,
  this combination can cause hearing and vision problems.  In Digory's case he cannot hear at all. 
  His vision is quite functional, although he may not see well in the distance.  Digory is really just like any
  other puppy though.  He loves to play, chase balls that are rolled for him, tug, wrestle with other pups,
  and cuddle, cuddle, cuddle!  He is a smart little fellow and is already learning hand signals for sit and
  down.  Digory is crate trained and making good progress in his housebreaking. He sleeps quietly through
  the night in his crate with no accidents.  Digory has been de-wormed, has a rabies vaccine and the
  appropriate vaccinations for a puppy his age.

  Digory is being fostered in Connecticut.   Interested adopters need to complete an application which
  can be requested by e-mail.  If you do not have previous experience with a deaf dog, please read the
  information at this site: http://www.deafdogs.org/ ; before applying.

  Melvin
 

 

Adopted


  
Private Rescue --

  I just arrived so not a lot is known about me but in the short time I have been here my foster mom can
  tell I am a very sweet Aussie guy. So far I have chased moths out in the yard and have found some nice
  shoe strings that look like fun. I will start learning how to be a good puppy here with crate training,
  housetraining, and some commands. I will come all vetted and my neuter appointment is scheduled for
  September 25th.

  I should be well on my way to being a good puppy citizen by then. I have three foster brothers
  here (doggy) to teach me the ropes.

  On examination it was found that I do have some potential vision problems that may cause me not to
  see but right now I am doing fine. I will require a fenced yard, no children under 12,and someone who
  is willing to learn about a pup who may become vision handicapped to keep me safe. You must come
  to meet me, no shipping, an application is required and an adoption fee.

  Please contact my foster mom,Kristin, for further information @  .Wilson3ausie@sbcglobal.net

Nicholas
 


   Adopted


  Hi my name is Nicolas and I am one of the most loved dogs in the world. I am about 2 years old
  and I was found wandering around the highway 6 months ago. I was cold, scared, and miserable.
  But, then I came into fostercare. I currently reside with two adults, twin ten-year olds, my foster families’
  dog, and 1-3 other foster dogs.

  I love living with everyone. I love the attention, the belly-rubs, having a yard to run in during the day,
  being with other dogs, a home with kids that love me and adults working hard on training me to be
  the very best dog I can be. I am pretty well trained too. I am 100% housebroken and I ring a bell to go
 outside. I am also crate trained. I sleep in a crate by myself at night, which is around 9 pm. I know basic
 commands, and I am very eager to please. One of my favorite activities is playing fetch.

  I am amazingly athletic and I could be an excellent agility dog. I am a big love to all people, big and
  small. I love to crawl up on the couch beside you, if you tell me it is OK. I have quite good manners,
  especially walking on a leash (though I may fuss a small amount sometimes when other dogs pass
  by, but again most of the time I can keep walking by). I love dogs that I have gotten the chance to know.
 
  However, I’m not so keen on a perfect stranger walking up and sniffing me. Once I have gotten to know
  them I’m okay, but with a stranger I just find it plain rude. Although, I love it when strange humans walk
  up to me and tell me how pretty I am. But, that’s different. I am great with veterinarians and other people
  poking and prodding me. I just sometimes get stressed around unfamiliar dogs. But, like I said I love
  dogs I have had the chance to get to know. My foster family loves me a ton and they are hoping for a
  perfect forever home for me with people that get Aussies who can help me keep growing into that
  'perfect' dog they believe I am. I'm hoping for a forever home with a 4 legged companion, lots of space,
  maybe some medium sized kids and someone willing to work with my strengths (agility, obedience, etc)
  while convincing me I am loved.

  If you would like to adopt me please fill out an application and come meet me!

Doc
 

 
  Adopted


  Hi, everybody!  My name is Doc.  I am a 16 week old aussie puppy and I was born blind.  Somehow
  my brother and I got away and  nice lady named Carol found us in the road near Beebe, Arkansas. 
  She took us home and my brother, who is not blind, got a home, but it seems nobody wanted me. 
  Carol had so many other dogs that she found out about Jeff and Linda that already have a dog like
  me, only deaf too, so now I live with them.  I hear real good and they keep calling me a love-bug. I like
  to get in their lap and give puppy kisses. I do love my family and want to be as close to them as
  possible. They love me, too but they think I might like a home better without so many dogs. I have
  been neutered and have all my shots and am nearly housebroken.  I am learning the leash and how
  to climb stairs. 
 
  If you think you might want to offer a forever home to a sweet guy like me, please email my dad Jeff at
   jlamiddleton3@hotmail.com 

  (PS--I was named after Doc Watson, the Grammy award winning blind singer and guitar picker).

Elliot
 

 

  Adopted


  I'm special because I'm deaf!  Most white & blue merle aussies with pink noses and blue eyes are
  deaf.  I will need some patience and training so I can be a good dog. I'm friendly and energetic,
  so would like to channel that into something fun like agility with hand signals. Does that sound like

                       Liberty
 


Adopted


  Liberty is a 3 month old blue merle Aussie with a docked tail. She is up to date on vaccinations and
  being maintained on heartworm prevention.

  Liberty has a very spunky and endearing personality, and loves new adventures. She is a sweet pup
  with lots of love to give, and the smarts to match.

  Liberty is a result of merle colored dog being bred to another merle, and as a result, she is deaf.
  Her foster Mom is working with her on learning sign commands. However, it's easy to forget that
  Liberty is deaf, she certainly missed that memo. She's just like any typical Aussie pup, full of excitement
  and intelligence.

  Liberty is located in Hampton, GA. Approved adopters may contact Rachael Eley at
                                    savmoraussies@bellsouth.net.

Jersey

 

Adopted


  Jersey is in need of a new home.  The following is the information we received from her current owner.

 Jersey is a little over a year old, blind in one eye (deformed) and totally deaf. She is a blue merle.
  We were told when we adopted her from a shelter here in Idaho that she was kept by an Aussie breeder,
  because her daughter felt sorry for her. She slept on beds and loves kids. Unfortunately, she would get
  attacked by other dogs because when she played, she could not hear when the other dog had growled,
  warning the play was over. Jersey has been very playful with our other dog, a Cane Corso Mastiff.
  Our Mastiff just takes it, and when she is done playing, walks away. Jersey also loves our cat. She will
  run after it, and they play. The cat will bat at her, bite her head, and Jersey just sits their like its a
  huge show of affection from the cat. Then Jersey licks the cat. She loves to herd, although didn't know
  what to think about the cattle we introduced her to the other day. Jersey loves all people, and will let
  anyone in your home. She knows NO strangers !!! :) She is housebroke, sleeps all night beside the bed,
  or on it if you invite her. We have taught her hand signals, and responds to sit, down, stay (sometimes),
  away, and will usually follow your hand directions. We stomp the floor to get her attention, and then she
  looks eagerly for directions. She is a great dog. Very loving, very affectionate. She lays in your lap
  while watching tv, and follows you from room to room. She is spayed and micro-chipped.

Jersey is located in Caldwell, Idaho

Please contact deanak@amazingaussies.com if you are interested in providing
Jersey with a forever home.

**Note** this is Jersey's 2nd adoption

Lilah
 


  Adopted

  Lilah is a double merle (red) female that was rescued from a shelter. Our vet's estimate is that
  she was probably born February, 2006. She has good vision and hearing, although not 100%.

  Lilah is friendly, outgoing, and she has a spunky personality. She loves being with people, and is
  doing great in the house. She is good about going outside to potty. Lilah plays and gets along with
  all the other dogs. Due to Lilah's vision and hearing impairment, a secure fenced yard is required.

  Lilah is eager to please and learn, so obedience training would be something I think she will do
  great with. Lilah has been spayed, is current on all of her vaccinations, wormed, heartworm negative
  and on preventative, and also microchipped.

  If you think your home is a good choice for Lilah, and you have the time to give to her, please fill
  out an online appication at: http://www.rockrescue.petfinder.org.  Lilah's adoption fee is $175.

  Lilah is located in Marion, Indiana.

  shepherd with a full tail. Her pictures reflect both sides of this sweet girl's personality. She loves to run
  with her foster brothers and she also likes to lay on the dog beds and quietly chew on a bone or toy.
  Opal may not be able to hear but don't tell her she's a special needs girl! She knows basic signs: sit,
  come, crate, treat, potty, etc. Opal is anxiously waiting for her forever home.

  Nic


  Adopted

 

  ARPH 9327

  Nicolai (Nic) is an eight year old blue merle male. Nic earned his name after being rescued from the
  shelter in the nic of time! Nic is a light heartworm positive and getting ready to start his treatment soon.  
  He also has cataracts but does have vision in one eye. He gets around fine but he does bump into things
  at times. Despite what one might look at as obstacles, they don't appear to bother Nic at all, he is a
  happy go lucky boy. His favorite thing is to go for car rides, he will jump right in always ready to go! He  
  also loves to be a velcro dog right under his foster home's feet. He enjoys attention and is just one of the
  Aussies you enjoy having around.

  He is well mannered in the house and is good with other dogs. He is friendly with people he meets and
  great at the vet clinic. Nic is one of those social boys who enjoys attention and loves to share his
  affection.

  Many people over look older dogs but adopting an older dog has many benefits, a bit more laid back,
  none of the chewing and they show lots of appreciation of having a new home.

  If you want to sponsor Nic during his heartworm treatment please go to the ARPH support page at
  www.aussierescue.org. Please make sure it is marked for Nic ARPH 9327. Nic will be ready for
  adoption around the end of October.  Be sure to watch the site for updates.

  You can contact Kim Johnson at savaussies@comcast.net if you have any questions about Nic.

Shiloh


Adopted


  BLIND SHILOH. FREE AT LAST. LOOKING FOR FOREVER HOME.

  My name is Shiloh. I am a blind, 7-year-old Aussie. I am not a “lethal white,” but sometimes other
  Aussies have bad problems with their eyes, too. I have to say that my first seven years weren't so
   wonderful – and that’s an understatement. Most of those years were spent in a tiny grooming crate
  in a vet's office, with very little human or canine contact. I ended up there as a very young dog because
  my first owners brought me in, telling the vet to put me to sleep after they learned I had glaucoma.
  She didn't, and instead gave me to some people who would keep me for awhile, bring me back, take
  me again, and bring me back, until finally I was forgotten, left in my little cage, my once-beautiful eyes
  becoming demon-red and blind. The vet didn’t know what to do with my eyes, but she didn’t have the
  heart to put me down, either. So there I stayed. Then one day, a lady with a local rescue happened to
  come to the vet and saw me. We touched hearts, and she determined to get me out of there.

  For months, she sent email after email, until finally a family in northwest Arkansas heard about me and
  lots of wonderful people helped transport me from Tennessee to their home. At first, I didn’t know what
  to do with my freedom. But I have learned to run, to play, to feel the wind and sunshine on my face, to
  stretch out and sleeeeeeeeeep, and to eat ice cream! Without the stress of living in the crate, my
  glaucoma is no longer getting any worse, but I will need to see a vet regularly for follow-ups.

  As wonderful as my foster home is, I still need a forever family. If you take me into your home, I promise
  to love you for the rest of my life. Shiloh would do best in a home with no cats.

                         Rex

 

    Adopted

  Rex is 8-12 months old, and weighs about 44 lbs. 

  Meet one of the sweetest, gentlest, loving dogs ever. Rex is that special dog who shows everyone
  what real love from a dog is all about. To say that Rex is dependent on his human parents because
  he is partially blind and deaf, is to miss the point. Rex is such a great dog and gives you so much
  that whatever you do for him makes you feel better. Once you meet Rex and take him for a walk, you
  will realize his trust as he walks confidently with you, trusting you almost immediately. When you stop,
  he will sit on your lap and try to crawl under your skin to show you how much he appreciates your
  guidance and love. When you see Rex from a distance, you will be struck by his beauty; his white
  and merle coloring and his general appearance are a work of art.
  He was found in a park and the shelter director, who absolutely adores Rex, called HART to have us
  try to place him in a home where he would receive the love and protection he so richly deserves. Can
  you commit to being Rex's parents and turn around a dog's life? Rex has undergone surgery on his
  eyes, and is already showing some improvement in his sight. He has responded quite well to eye
  drops that his foster mom is giving him. Rex is very playful and gets along beautifully with his foster
  siblings and, I'm told by the foster mom, learned where the door to go outside is located in one day.
  Rex seems very smart and eager to learn.

  Rex is with HART, Homeless Animals Rescue Team @ www.hart90.com

  If you are interested in adopting Rex, please contact Lisa @ LDDiaz@ cox.net or visit the HART website.

**new pictures of Helen**

   
 
     

Helen
 

 

Adopted


  Helen is a 5-month-old deaf and blind Aussie mix (looks like there is some greyhound in there).
  She is in a bit of a pickle (meaning this is sort of an EMERGENCY as of July 14, 2006).
  Here’s the scoop.

  Helen was transported in June from Texas to Little Rock, AR to an apparently well-qualified adopter
  (she had another deaf-and-blind Aussie, among other things). However, it took less than a month
  before she decided she was unable to handle Helen and she had Helen picked up by the town
  SHELTER.

  Fortunately, a Good Samaritan, who, like me, is named Kim, has rescued Helen from the shelter,
  but she already has about a dozen foster dogs in her home, and took Helen only because I PROMISED
  I would do my best to find her another safe haven ASAP. So I am keeping my promise.

  According to her foster mom, the operative word for Helen seems to be SMART. She was started
  on touch training yesterday, and already seems to just about understand “Sit”. She can tell when
  her rescuer approaches the gate to the kitchen, and runs to greet her (I told the “other” Kim these
  dogs have a remarkable sense of smell and she must smell like LOVE). Helen also gets along just
   fine with her children. She does spin, but less so since even in the one day she has been kept
  uncrated in a gated-in kitchen. The animal control officer who picked Helen up reported that Helen
  had been kept in a crate which was too small for her, a common cause of compulsive spinning in
  deaf-and-blind dogs.

  If you are a rescue, or with a rescue, or a forever home for Helen, please contact one of us Kims:
  Me, Kim K, at krk929@ aol.com or Kim O at btrfly3371@ fanforce.net.

  Helen is currently in Hot Springs, AR. But transportation can be arranged just about ANYWHERE.

 


 
       

Orlandi

 
     

Scarlet

 

 

Adopted


  Orlandi and Scarlet are Double Merle Australian Shepherd puppies. What does Double Merle mean?
  It means that a breeder tried to mate two Merle Australian Shepherds which inevitably creates some
 offspring that are all white, deaf and blind. Orlandi and her sister Scarlet were thrown in a dumpster with
  their other sister Gucci because they were of no monetary value to the breeder. Luckily an Apache
 Junction animal care and control officer found the three pups and took them to safety. Paw Placement
  was able to step in and place them with some wonderful foster families until they were ready for
  adoption. Orlandi is a friendly and loving companion animal but she has special needs because of her
  blind and deaf conditions.

  Orlandi and Scarlet have been living in the same foster home and are very attached to each other.
  Orlandi is strong and active. Scarlet had a rough start but seems to be getting better each day.
  Both girls are learning touch training. Orlandi will come and sit on command, Scarlet will come. Her
  foster mom is waiting for her to get a little stronger before making her sit on command. As for potty
  training, they prefer to go outside if possible and will run to the door. They are both happy in their crate
  at night and will sleep through the night if they are together. Their foster mommy thinks it would be in
  their best interest to stay together if at all possible. Not only are they hard to separate but it is
  DEFINITELY easier with two than just one, they tend to keep each other occupied when you have
  something else going on and they have a really close bond.
 
  Orlandi loves car rides and will sit in her bag and chew her bones. Scarlet isn't such a huge fan but if
  she is with Gucci, she is okay. In a nutshell, they are both adorable, well behaved puppies. They
  definitely need stability and to learn their forever home so they are comfortable running and jumping.
 
  Orlandi is definitely a firecracker and is an absolute goof ball. Scarlet is a bit more trepidatious but still
  loves to play. She just needs more patience than Orlandi but is an absolute love bug. Scarlet waits for
  the world to come to her and Orlandi waits for no man.  Please fill out that online application if you want
  to meet Orlandi and/or Scarlet. The more info you include about yourself the better!

  A note from Paw Placement:
  Orlandi and Scarlet could easily be a 12, 13 or 14 year commitment on your part. They are NOT
  disposable for any reason like you moving, getting married, having babies, getting divorced or any
  perceived “inconvenience” you may develop with regards to Orlandi and Scarlet. You must be able to
  commit unconditionally to Orlandi and/or Scarlet for the rest of her life and agree work with a Paw
  Placement approved trainer.  For additional information on double merles, (sometimes also called
  Lethal Whites) you can also visit www.aussielads.com or www.lethalwhites.com.

  Orlandi and Scarlet are with  www.pawplacement.org in Scottsdale, AZ.

Spice
 


 

Adopted

Hi! I'm Spice. I MAY have VISION PROBLEMS due to my coloring. HALO isn't 100% sure yet and
  they are consulting with an Australian Shepherd Rescue group to get more information. I seem to
  hear fine but my vision doesn't seem fully intact but I'm still young and the 'jury is still out'. I may need
  a special home due to my limited vision but we'll know more in a few weeks. I am a Mini Australian
  Shepherd mixed with something else. I am a sweet boy who needs a great family. I will be around
  20-30 pounds as an adult. We aren't sure since we don't know who my dad was. My adoption fee is
  $200 which covers my neuter, first shots and microchip

 Shadow
 


       Update: Shadow has been rescued and is safe


  SOME THOUGHTS FROM SHADOW, A LETHAL WHITE AUSSIE IN TN

  “I am so scared. I am so alone. I don’t know where I am. I am only 8 months old, and can’t hear
  anything and I can only see out of one eye, and not so well at that. I can see that doggie door however,
  and I know to go out of it to do my business. I don’t want to mess up my new home. I guess it is my
  new home. The people are nice but the other day they came to take me somewhere. I didn’t know
  where they wanted to take me. So I flopped down on my stomach and wouldn’t move. They picked me
  up and took me into a room and took my picture. I put my nose to the floor and sniffed. I was a little
  cautious about moving around but I did manage to do some exploring. The people were really nice.
  I felt good with them. I wanted to wind myself around their legs. It gave me a good secure feeling.
  When they took me back to my kennel, I cried. I am so scared. I am so alone....”

  This sweet boy is in a shelter in Kingsport, TN. If you can give him a home, or know someone in rescue
   who can take him in to their program, please contact Chris at cabo67@ mounet.com

  He is listed on the Petfinder page of the Kingsport Humane Society.

Reese

 


Adopted

  Reese was rescued from the Houston area. She was born deaf, the result of an

  special needs! She is smart and friendly even with having a very rough start before
  arriving at Aussie Rescue. She was born in December 2004.

Comet
 

 

Adopted


  Comet is a cute, playful youngster. We do not know his breed mixes. He is a bit short and long and his
   head is somewhat narrow with a long thin muzzle. He is small and probably will not grow much more.
  He has beautiful blue eyes! A checkup with the doggy ophthalmologist in August 2006 showed no major
  vision problems.  He is an Australian Shepherd/ Border collie mix that is 1 yr old and weighs 25 lbs.

  Comet enjoys playing with dogs (he has two foster siblings) and sometimes "digs" or chases imaginary
  things for entertainment. He lives with a cat in his foster home. He enjoys car rides (has thrown up a time
  or two, when younger). Comet is sometimes shy on meeting new people, but he warms up and enjoys
  the attention. Comet is crate-trained and housetrained--with occasional accidents if he gets distracted
  by play.

  Although Comet doesn't act or feel "impaired," he is deaf and will require a home willing to accomodate
  his needs. You don't have to be "special" to love and care for a deaf pup. We have resources on training
  and living with deaf dogs and will provide support to his adopters.
  See the Deaf Dog Education Action Fund (DDEAF) for lots of helpful information.
  Comet is neutered, current on vaccinations, on heartworm prevention, and has been microchipped

  If you are interested in adopting Comet, please contact Austin Aussie Rescue, an affiliated chapter of
  Texas Aussie Rescue Association, Inc. (TARA) To fill out an online application , click here. This does not
  commit you in any way but helps us make the best match between people and available dogs.

Luci


Adopted


   Luci is a double blue merle who is deaf and has some visual impairments. Her most recent check-up at
   the opthalmologist in October 2005 showed that her vision is still good, but she needs to be monitored
  on the progress of some cataracts. Luci is 1/6 years old and weighs 35 lbs.

  Luci was dumped in a neighborhood as a small puppy. One day, a family's two dogs started barking,
  and when the lady of the house went to the door to see what was up, Luci just walked in! She made
  herself at home and the family's Corgi puppy was immediately her best friend. Now a year later, the two
   puppies have matured and are no longer getting along so well.
 
  Both dogs believe there is only room in the family for one of them. The family has worked with their trainer,
   who also recommends that Luci find a new home. Her family is sad and has delayed this tough decision,
  but recognize that it is best for the happiness of all.
 
  Luci likes to run and bark in the backyard at squirrels and birds and the neighbor dog. She generally plays
   with and gets along with other dogs. She shows interest in and occasionally runs after the cats in her
   current home, but she has never hurt one and they don't seem terribly worried about her.
 
  Luci has been through training and knows basic commands via sign language. She does need additional
   practice. She loves to sit under chairs and just spend time with her people. She likes to chase a ball and
   enjoys chewing on sturdy chew toys and bones. She occasionally exhibits some mild herding behavior
   and would do best in a home with older, dog-wise children.
 
  She is house-trained and crate-trained. She is also spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative,
  and microchipped.

Jersey


 

Adopted


  JERSEY

  Jersey was surrendered to the shelter due to irresponsible breeding. You see, Jersey is deaf, and
  because of that she was considered unwanted and not valuable. Well, here at the shelter we see
  an exuberant, friendly and silly dog that deserves the same loving home as any of our other dogs.

  While Jersey may not be able to hear, she is excellent about staying with you when you take her
  for a walk, and is learning hands commands quickly. She loves to play with other dogs, and is good
  with cats as well. In fact, we’re pretty sure that Jersey doesn’t know she is any different from any of
  the other dogs. This girl will need a special home that is dedicated to the needs of a deaf dog.

  She cannot be off leash anywhere near a road, and must have a fenced yard to keep her secure.
 Jersey is very eager to learn, and while she may have to learn differently than your average dog,
  with her intelligence, it won’t be a hard task. If you are interested in learning more about this girl,
  or if you already have a handicapped dog and would like to add another to your family, be sure to
  meet Jersey, she is an all around great dog.

  If you are interested in adopting Jersey,  please send an email to  info@animalshelterwrv.org

  Jersey is located in Hailey, Idaho at the Animal Shelter of Wood River Valley
 


 

    

Shelly
 

 

Adopted


  Shelly is about an eight month old beautiful female sheltie. She is a little shy. As would be expected
  given her age adopters will need to watch that she does not get into “trouble”. She has a lot of potential
  but will definitely need training (including fine-tuning her housetraining). Her coloring is the result of an
  ill-advised breeding of two merle shelties. These breedings often result in deaf and/or blind dogs and
 Shelly appears to be neither. We expect that she will be fine particularly with older kids that can respect
 her initial shyness. She is fine with other dogs and we suspect she will be fine with cats.

  Shelly is current on her shots, licensed, and will be spayed and microchipped before placement.

  Persons interested in getting more information on Shelly or adopting her should contact Bill of the
  Mid-Arizona Shetland Sheepdog Club Rescue at 480-507-7996 or bkferrell@cox.net. An application
  will be required and an adoption fee charged.
 


 

    



Rudy
 

 

Adopted


  Rudy ARPH 9137

  Rudy is a precious 12 week old blue merle Aussie with a tail. Rudy is truly a miraculous puppy.
  Rudy's miracles first began with him surviving life on the streets. You see Rudy is an Aussie resulting
  from a merle to merle dog breeding. This means he's extra special in that he is deaf. It's amazing he
  was able to stay alive considering he can't hear dangers a lost puppy would encounter every day on
  the street. To find out more about training deaf dogs, please visit the Deaf Dog Website.

  His second miracle came when he survived an attack by another dog at some point before finding
  his way to animal control. He had some seriously infected puncture wounds on his ear and neck.
  Rudy's third miracle came when we stumbled upon him while evaluating another dog at the animal
  control facility where he was brought in as a stray. It was obvious this little pup needed medical treatment
  right away, and we delivered him to the hospital straight from the shelter.

  Rudy will need to stay in foster care for the next two to three weeks while he's recovering from his
  injuries. He is up to date on his vaccinations and has started his heartworm prevention.
  Rudy is looking for one last miracle. A loving home that will keep him safe from the heartbreak and
  neglect he's known in his short life, a fenced yard to keep him safe, and another doggie companion to
  help lead him.
 
  If you can give Rudy that miracle, please fill out an application today.
  Rudy is located in Kennesaw, GA.

  Approved adopters may contact Rachael Eley at savmoraussies@bellsouth.net.
