Herd U Needed A Home

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!

Say hello to a very special girl, Rosie. A beautiful two year old smooth coated border collie with a heart of gold! This gentle soul is making the transition from ranch life to a life of luxury, and slowly she's learning that quick movements and loud noises are part of life and not to be afraid of. She has come a long way and now packs up with the other dogs to run and initiates play time with each of them. With three foster siblings to guide her, Rosie is slowly gaining confidence.

Her wire crate is her safe haven, but she's slowly learning to face her fears. Rosie has a special way with treats - she takes them slowly and softly. As Rosie grows more comfortable, she's reaching out for more hugs and attention. She likes to be petted.

This sweet girl needs a quiet, routine environment to truly blossom. Whoever adopts Rosie will be gaining a loyal companion. All she needs is time, understanding, and consistency to reach her full potential!

Rosie is spayed, up to date on vaccines and has a microchip. She’s located in La Pine, Oregon.

If you're interested in welcoming Rosie into your life, please fill out an application: http://herduneededahome.com/hunah-dog-adoption-application-form/ or email [email protected] with questions.

Meet Gypsy

Meet Gypsy, A.K.A. Gypseek

Gypsy is a 1.5 year old, female, border collie mix, currently being fostered in Southeastern Oregon. This beautiful young dog is confident and well-balanced. She is initially cautious of strangers but warms up quickly when introduced. Gypsy is fairly high energy and athletic, but also will chill in the house by her people, so her ideal adopters are active and have an outdoorsy lifestyle.

Gypsy is smart and eager to please, so she will do well with continued training, She is crate trained, settles nicely in her crate, and sleeps through the night. Her house training is going well, as is her leash training. Gypsy is very good on off-leash runs in the country, is exuberant at first when leashed but quickly settles down for her walk. This friendly girl is good with other dogs, cats, and people. Please note that so far, we have not seen Gypsy interact with toddlers or young children. In terms of other animals, Gypsy would love to run and play with the horses but will call off nicely. She is a good watch dog and will bark when people arrive at the house, but will quiet down when told it is okay.

Gypsy is the complete package. Smart, fun, friendly, active, biddable, and she is also spayed, microchipped, and UTD on vaccines. If you are interested in meeting this beauty who is fostered in Southeastern Oregon, please email us at [email protected] or find our application at http://herduneededahome.com/hunah-dog-adoption-application-form/
Adoption fee $400.

Foster needed for Oakie Dokey Pokey. Active Aussie seeks similar family! Oakie is a kind, smart pup. He is 12 months old, neutered, vaccinated and about 44lbs. He's a medium-high energy herding dog with needs his owners can't seem to meet. He has completed a six-week training course and is currently in training with a private trainer in Bend. They use puzzle toys and do sniff work regularly. He is walked 4-5 miles per day and uses natural outdoor agility obstacles. He's gone to "Sniff Spots" and plays with the herding ball, soccer ball and frisbee. He's restless in the evening, demand barks and does "grab and runs". He has started to jump on people on or off the leash and is now fighting the leash on walks. He's obsessed with sticks and balls and we no longer take him to dog parks as his exit from play turns into a barking mess. He's still in crate training, and very anxious about being alone.
The list of positives is so much longer. He's never bitten a person or animal. He's brilliant and knows a lot of commands. He's fully house trained and sleeps through the night. ** He's an agility dog in waiting! He's handsome, sweet and wants to play 24/7. Oakie is in the Bend area. If you are interested in giving Oakie a second chance at a fun filled life of adventure and possibly agility or flyball, please contact FLORA at [email protected]

Please consider making a generous donation to Herd U Needed a Home this holiday season while we continue to find forever homes for dogs in need! Your donation, big or small, can make a huge difference. We accept donations through Venmo (HerdUNeededAHome), Paypal ([email protected]), and other options on our website (http://herduneededahome.com/ways-to-help/donate/). Your support means the world to us and the pups we rescue. Thank you!

Also we are always looking for new fosters.

HUNAH is a foster-based rescue which means the number of dogs we can help is limited by the number of foster homes we have available. Currently, we have a network of around thirty foster homes throughout Oregon and the northwest where dogs are placed temporarily until we find a new permanent home for them. We rely on our foster homes to help us place as many dogs as possible each year. Because we have no shelter, our foster program is key to our organization’s success. Becoming a foster home is a rewarding and fun way to volunteer. If you are interested in helping to save a life, HUNAH will make sure you have all the tools you need to successfully foster one of our dogs in need.

Beautiful Mini Aussie looking for a new home. Loki is an almost 5 yr old 28 # blue merle mini Aussie (American Shepherd). Yes, he is neutered and vaccinated! He is a lovable velcro dog. His happy space is chilling with humans and cuddling. He loves car rides and having a few doggie friendships. Loki has loved interactions with kids but may be too rambunctious for toddlers. He needs a home that has a lifestyle which will minimize his anxiety. He stresses out when he hears/sees other dogs on walks and is particularly reactive to bigger male dogs. He is not a fan of open spaces like the beach and does better on forest walks. His high prey drive rules out a house with cats or other small animals. Loki knows basic commands: sit, down, off, no, leave it, and not your business. When there are not distractions, he walks well on leash and knows how to heal. Loki would do best with a homebody who has a fenced yard. He does well with female dogs and would likely do best in a home with an older med/lg female dog as he has likely never been left totally alone. He needs a gentle daily combing to keep his coat silky smooth (5min). *** Please contact FLORA at [email protected] if you'd like to adopt Loki.

***ADOPTION PENDING***
Here she is!!!! Sweet sweet Sadie. Sadie is a 1 1/2 year old female 40 # Border Collie mix. She loves her crate, she will let you know when she needs to go out to potty by a subtle whine at first and if you're too tired to let her out she will give a gentle bark and progressively get louder the more tired you are!! She is a great alarm clock! After she goes out to potty and patrol the property she is ready for breakfast and then to play gently with her little foster brother who is much smaller than her.
She and her foster mom then goes out to feed the horses whom she will ignore if they don't play back. She gets along with all the dogs she has encountered and the shelter said she was good with cats and she does love children. She really just wants to please.
She is not high energy, but when you get her in open space with no leash she will run fast laps around you. You may not see her for 2-3 minutes and then she comes flying past you. Inside the house she will do whatever you ask. She walks well on a leash also. The shelter staff said she would make an amazing agility dog.
can't say enough great things about this girl!!!

If you would like to meet Sadie, currently in Bend Oregon, email [email protected]. Adoption fee is $400

**ADOPTION PENDING**
This handsome 5-month-old male Vizla/Aussie pup is waiting for his forever person (people). He has fantastic conformation, beautiful markings and a shiny short coat. He sleeps easily on his dog bed throughout the night and is house trained. He is learning to play ball and is already retrieving after two opportunities.

Soco wants to be a lap dog and loves to cuddle. He gets along well with other dogs and our goats. Not sure yet about cats, but so far, he doesn’t seem bothered by any other animals. He has not shown any aggression toward our three dogs, nor is he protective of his food. Some things to note: he is high energy and will require an active household to be happy. Also, he is a Velcro dog right now. This may change as he gains confidence.

Located in Bend Oregon, if you want to meet Soco, please email [email protected]. Adoption fee is $400

BE A DOG HERO!!!!

Want to find a way to help and give back to the HUNAH community? HUNAH is in need of one or more tech/computer savvy volunteers responsible for collecting and scanning medical (Vet) records into our One Drive program. Looking for someone in the Bend Oregon area. This would take up to approximately 5 or less hours a week. Duties would be as follows:

The things they would need to do are physically picking up records from the local vets, getting any records that come in via the P.O. Box, scanning & uploading those records, redacting certain information from records, maintaining the file system in one drive, sending email adoption thank you letters with records attached, mailing microchips and rabies tags. Keeping the hard copies of all the records and putting them in a binder at the end of the year in addition to a back up thumb drive with that year's files.

If you can help us out with this, please email [email protected]

Thank you!

Introducing Senji, a 7 month old male McNab/Border Collie mix waiting for that perfect family that wants him in their life. His foster dad says:

Sanji is a very energetic young man who loves to run around the yard and gets along with other dogs. Once he warms up he is very friendly and is still learning his manners and needs continued training, he is not fully housebroken yet. Tested with cats and livestock he showed very little interest. Sanji is looking for a home that has the time and energy needed to keep his mind stimulated and bring out the best in him.

If you want to meet Sanji, located in the Heppner OR area, email [email protected] for an application. Adoption fee is $400
