I am back! 5300kms later and lots of dirt on the truck, the dogs and I are back from our California adventure. Tired, lots of laundry to do but a successful trip! I promise I'll share more, but as it stands there are four new additions to the household......
Sam
Deaf, double merle Australian Shepherd, 18 months old and the sweetest dog you'll ever meet! Sam caught the heart of our good friend Jeanne, he has been adopted before I even made it home. Jeanne is the perfect person for this fella, I wish you the best and lots of wonderful aussie adventures Jeanne!
I don't have a good picture of the fella, so we'll wait to get one from his new home. :)
Jake
This is what Jake's previous foster home has said about him:
"Jake is a 2.5 year old blue merle. Jake is a darling boy who has lived with children including 2 five year olds as well as cats. He's easy to handle -- tolerates brushing (although he doesn't like it, particularly), and lets me work on his feet and ears. He's a great patient at the vet! He needs to feel secure, whether this means being in the house, in the car, in his crate, or with his person. He would be fine as an only dog as he hoards his toys and wants other dogs to stay away from them, but doesn't care if people take his toys.
He loves people of all ages and sizes, but it will take awhile for him to develop total trust. He's great with cats. He's a great house dog and can be left loose all day unattended. He knows "sit," "down," "stay" and "wait." He's very easy to train. I get him to do things just by talking to him in an easy tone.
His hoarding of toys seems to be directly proportional to his stress level. When he first came here his crate was full of toys. Now there are only three toys in the crate and five outside the crate. He's very agile and could be good on ducks, or even sheep. He seems afraid of horses and mules.
He loves toys, but he is obsessed with the hose and digging for critters. He loves running in open space and needs regular running exercise. He's good on leash walks, too. Jake's a darling, darling boy who needs a quiet yet active home."

Jake is not yet ready for adoption, he will be fully evaluated here for his resource gaurding issues and will be receiving some noise sensitivity desensitization and further obedience training. He is a lovely boy though and stunning to look at. Pictures coming soon!
No name as yet
1 year old red tri australian shepherd. Another beautiful girl. Needs an owner with a sense of humour! This girl likes to bounce off your head..she needs a sport home with no young children! Not yet available.
Another fella with no name (well he had one but he doesn't like it and neither do I)
2 year old border collie, beautiful temperment. Has the cutest woo woo you will ever hear! This boy was sent for euthanasia for car chasing, luckily the vet refused and he is now safe with us. This fella needs rehab to learn to trust again, and to learn all about the joys of being a loved house dog. Here is a photo of him now, I'll post another one once he is all groomed up, poor guy is filthy.
That's it for now, I will post more hopefully tomorrow!
