Herd U Needed A Home

Herd U Needed A Home is a non-profit rescue for herding dogs in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Herding dogs come in all shapes, sizes and color.

At Herd U Needed A Home Rescue we are passionate about finding the best homes for our rescue dogs! We mainly work with herding type breeds (border collie, heeler, Australian shepherd, McNab), but we often rescue other breeds in need. They may have short, medium or long hair. Some are more energetic and some are more socialized. If you are looking for a great forever friend we will try our best to

match you with that dog. There is a huge need for loving homes. An we usually have a number of wonderful dogs awaiting placement. But it is very important that the dog and the new owner are matched correctly. And that's what we do best. Or, if you have a herding dog that you can no longer care for, contact us. We have a waiting list of approved adopters looking for a dog. Our organization will try to place your dog in a loving situation as soon as possible. All of our animals go to approved homes only. We also offer training assistance for any of our adopters. If you have any questions we are here to help! Our dogs come from all over the United States. When we receive an animal they are given a clean bill of health before being adopted out. They are spayed and neutered (if not already), vaccinated, receive all veterinary needs and are placed in a private foster home that treats each dog as a member of the family during their stay. That way we can inform you of each dog’s personality and idiosyncrasies before you take it home—something you cannot do in a shelter situation. Each of our foster dogs each has a unique story. At Herd U Needed A Home Rescue we do our very best to make sure that every story has a happy ending!

Meet Beau

Beau is the cutest and most adorable 8-month-old border collie mix! He’s an easygoing pup who listens really well for his age. Beau gets along well with other dogs in a group, but he really loves cuddles and attention from his people. He’s just so kind and lovable. He’s a Velcro dog who is looking for his forever home.

Beau is all set - he’s been neutered, vaccinated, and has a microchip. He’s currently being fostered in Union, Oregon, and his adoption fee is $400. If you’re interested in adopting Beau, please fill out an application at http://herduneededahome.com/adoption-process/ or send us an email at [email protected] with any questions. We can’t wait to find him his perfect match!

Meet 'Mister' Gorgeous. Mister is a 44-lb good natured, people-loving border collie mix whose tail is always wagging. He loves exploring and is very athletic. He gets along with other dogs but can be growly when food is present. Mister wants a person to call his own and would do just fine as an only dog or can go to a family with other dogs. He is a quick learner and kennels on command.

Mister is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and has a microchip. He is being fostered in Union, Oregon, and his adoption fee is $400. To apply for Mister, please go to http://herduneededahome.com/adoption-process/ and if you have questions, email [email protected] .

Foster needed for Penelope. Penelope is a 3-year-old Kelpie who is loving and energetic. She is spayed; vaccinations will be brought up to date in the next week or so. Penelope is house trained but has not been crate trained. Penelope weighs approximately 45lbs. Penelope will need some help building her confidence and with leash training. She does well with other dogs and cats unless the cats aren’t used to dogs. She is not aggressive but can be protective of her property and owners. She doesn’t do well on car rides; she barks at vehicles and dogs she sees for the first 30 min. She barks at strangers at first but when they approach her, she is sweet and loves getting attention. Penelope is hoping for a home with a yard; a dog buddy to play with would be ideal. A home with older children or no children would be best. She has limited experience with chickens, and did try to chase them so a chicken free home is recommended. She is currently living in Tigard, Oregon. If you are interested in fostering or foster to adopt Penelope, please contact FLORA at [email protected]

This affectionate girl loves to give kisses, has bursts of energy, and is also very calm. She's fitting in beautifully in her foster home with three little boys.

She's a well-mannered eater, doesn't beg for food, and is a quiet girl who doesn’t barks much. She has lived with otger dogs before. She's a pro at navigating stairs and loves going for car rides. She's been a respectful guest in her foster home and hasn't been destructive at all.

Our hearts went out to this sweet older gal, Lily. She spent her whole life with a family and their circumstances changed and at 11 years old she needs to find a new home. It is important to us that this is her forever home. Lily is an 37 lb, 11 year old female English springer spaniel.

Are you looking for an older, “been there, done that” dog? Lily is your gal! She’s a homebody who adores kids, doesn’t care about cats, other dogs, or ducks. She’s soft and sweet and ready for her new family to love her for the rest of her life.

She is on prescription food for some kidney trouble, but we have several months of it to get you started. Shes spayed and up to date on vaccines.

Congratulations to Mallory and Brandon who adopted Smitten today. She will have a great life with this active family and many adventures to come.

They thought about perhaps adopting her brother Devoted, but thought one puppy would be enough. Guess who tried to get into the adoption picture anyway?

Buck's foster calls him her fluffy nugget. This Golden Retriever/BC mix is a gem at 12 weeks old. Buck is a playful sweet boy who is looking to find his new family to share love and adventures with.

Every single day, HUNAH volunteers are working hard to help these dogs have better lives. From Sunday thru tonight we’ve been working hard to get new dogs to their new Foster’s or adopters and get them settled in. Here’s some photos that will warm your hearts 💕 Dogs are so resilient and wonderful, and thank you to everyone who helps our dogs find their happy endings.

None of this comes without a price. All of these dogs had to have vet care and most needed spayed or neutered. Please consider HUNAH when making your charitable contributions.

Meet Ringo

Ringo loves other dogs! The dog sociability is not an issue at all with him. This boy loves to run and play. He would love a dog brother or sister to play with.

He is gaining confidence with people and especially strangers. He just needs lots more careful exposure to new people.

Ringo is very sensitive and responds quickly when learning new things. He is lightning fast and his nose is always working. He is amazing on a loose leash while on a walk. He does have a strong prey drive.

Ringo has been on off leash hikes occasionally in the forest and his recall is quite good. He is crate trained and likes to chew…loves his toys. He should be crated or supervised in his new home until he settles in.

He wants to be with his people and would love someone to snuggle with . Ringo just eats up all of the love!

Ringo would like to live with someone who is kind, gentle and patient as he gains confidence and trust. He is treat driven but “good boy” is the ticket!

Ringo is 1.5 years old, neutered, up to date on vaccines and has a microchip. Best with older or calmer kids. He is being fostered in La Grande. His adoption fee is $400. Please fill out an application at http://herduneededahome.com/adoption-process/ or email us with questions at [email protected] .

*****ADOPTED*****

Sweet Sissy is calm and shy overall, though she can be silly when she's in a play mode. She loves zooming in backyard and playing "catch me". Happy zoomies in the back yard are so much fun for her!

Her foster says she is very gentle and easy.
Sissy is so gentle with her body movements. She has used her mouth a little when playing and is ever so gentle.

When walking her, there is very little pulling. She’s pretty good on a leash overall, though she’s still learning. She is really cautiously learning so much about the fun parts of being a dog!

She will paw her foster family for more pets. She is able to chill out, and is snuggly with the family in the evenings. She's been able to relax nicely on the futon behind her foster dad while he works and she sleeps in her crate fine overnight.

In the week she’s been with her foster family she has made a lot of progress with trusting them and learning sit, lay down, and stay. She needs a gentle loving hand to guide her and she will be a fabulous companion. She is eager to learn and working on getting potty trained. She is not treat motivated, she’s praise and love motivated.

Sissy is being fostered in Portland, Oregon. She’s spayed, current on vaccines and has a microchip. Her birthday hs 9/24/23. Her adoption fee is $400. She’s going to make some family very happy. If you are interested in Sissy please fill out an application at http://herduneededahome.com/adoption-process/ or email [email protected] with questions.

He’s been neutered, has a microchip and is up to date on vaccines.

He’d love an active home to call his own. He’s being fostered in Olympia, WA. His adoption fee is $400.

Meet Aiden!

Aiden is a gorgeous, female, Australian shepherd mix. At 8-months of age she currently weighs 44 pounds. Aiden is a very sweet adolescent dog who is very playful and fun loving. She is good with other dogs and children.

Like all young dogs, Aiden would benefit from training and consistency in her new home. She will most likely be the star pupil in basic obedience classes where leash walking and handling are taught since she is a smart girl and very treat motivated.

Aiden is spayed, UTD on vaccines , and microchipped. She is currently being fostered in LaPine, Oregon. Adoption fee is $400. If interested fill out an application at http://herduneededahome.com/adoption-process/ or email with question [email protected].

For such a petite little girl, Emily is one of the most self contained pups you will meet. At 13 weeks old this girl will follow you everywhere without being needy. When tired she will put herself away to a quiet place for a nap.

Emily will play with dogs 3x her size. If a dog gives her the stink eye she doesn't take it personally, she will just walk away and find someone else to play with. Currently she is exposed to chickens, ducks, cats and goats and gets along with all of them.

If you would like to meet Emily, located in the Vancouver WA area, email [email protected] for an application. Adoption fee is $400

Tamber has said goodbye to all of his litter mates and is now wondering "what did I do wrong"?

Tamber gets along with other dogs and dog savvy cats If you would like to meet Tamber, located in Bend OR, email [email protected] for an application.. Adoption fees are $400

Elko!

Elko is looking for a new home! Elko is a beautiful, fun loving 5-year-old herding mix. He has been well loved and cared for his entire life. Elko is neutered, and completely up to date with all vaccinations, has regular vet checkups and is microchipped. He has been accustomed to monthly grooming and daily exercise. Elko has lived an incredibly full life thus far. He is most joyous when he can be by your side for whatever that day's adventure is. He absolutely loves playing in snow, bounding along forest trails, swimming, playing fetch, and is a star frisbee player. He loves going on car rides, playing with toys, or curling up on the couch for a cuddle. He is loving, loyal, empathetic, and has the silliest personality. Elko has shown reactivity toward other dogs so an ideal situation for him would be a home without other dogs or kids. His owners had success with him getting used to other submissive dogs. He is looking for someone that has the time to give him the attention he deserves, an active owner that is looking for an adventure buddy. Elko is in the Whitefish, Montana area. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Elko and are approved, please contact Flora at [email protected] If you are not yet approved you can fill out an application and email that to Flora.
