It’s fireworks season and time for a reminder in dog safety! You can never be too cautious when it comes to keeping your pets safe. Fireworks can be extremely scary and many dogs go missing this time of year. While it can be very tempting to bring your furry friend along for the celebrations, they’re safest at home - in a crate or secure room.

Earlier this week, we celebrated Bandit's adoption - he went home with previous ARM adopters to live his best life. We love our returning adopters; they understand that once an Aussie grabs your heart, it's really hard to imagine life without one. ❤️ Congratulations Bandit!

This cutie-patootie found his new home before he was officially listed on our website - Mr. Zeus had his "happily fur-ever after" storybook ending with one of our previously approved applications before he came into rescue. Congratulations Zeus! 🐾

If you don't see your perfect match listed with us currently, but know you want to adopt from ARM, submit your application for general approval! We will evaluate your application for all incoming dogs and if there is a match coming in, we will reach out to you to give you the first opportunity to be considered for adoption.

With the hot temperatures🌡projected this weekend, consider moving your daily walks and activities to earlier in the mornings or later in evenings to make sure that your pups' paws don't get exposed to dangerously hot concrete and asphalt surfaces. What are some creative ways you've kept your dog cool on these hot days? We'd love to hear about it!

FRIENDLY REMINDER: As many gear up for the impending heat wave, it's important to watch where you (and your pets) are walking. As air temperatures surge into the 90s, both concrete and asphalt temperatures will catapult to dangerous levels. That can burn your pups paws if you're not careful.

We are celebrating some adoptions that have happened this week! 🙌🙌

Luta and Willow have found their fur-ever homes with wonderful adopters who fell in love with their enthusiasm for life, capacity to love, and eagerness for connection - we wish them all the best for their happily ever after. Congratulations Luta & Willow! 🐾🐾

Meet Buddy!

Buddy is a 7-month-old, spunky Australian Shepherd mix weighing 13 lbs. He comes to ARM as a stray from Osceola, WI after being found hiding behind an air conditioning unit. When he arrived to rescue, he was matted, full of burrs, and his poor ears have been through the ringer: one ear has half the ear missing. We don’t know if it was related to frostbite or if it has been chewed off, but it was clear that prior to coming to rescue, Buddy has had a rough go of it.

Buddy will need lots of patience as he learns to trust his humans and live in a home environment. Buddy barks at everything, then he investigates – showing that he still has that puppy-like curiosity in his environment. His fosters have earned some of his trust and are now able to hold him for grooming. Buddy has learned that he loves the comb!

He has Lymes and he takes his medication easily. Currently he is learning how to walk on a leash, and his fosters are working on crate training and desensitizing him to common noises in the home. His shyness does remain, as he has yet to take a treat from people’s hands. However, Buddy has discovered the fun that is dog toys! He is playing with a ball and a stuffed chicken.

Buddy has adjusted well to the foster dogs in the home. He is learning how to play and finding his place within the pack. He particularly likes the female Aussie; where she goes, Buddy goes too! Buddy’s fosters have shared that he has a lot of love to give to the right home.

The details:
Need fence? Preferred, though ultimately likely not – safety must be considered until trust and reliable recall has been established
Good with dogs? Yes
Good with cats? No exposure
Good with kids? Older kids (ages 10 and up)

All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers. We need an approved application on file to set up a meeting with a dog you might be interested in. You can find our application at www.aussierescuemn.com. All dogs have an adoption fee of $400 plus MN sales tax. We pride ourselves on matches that are awesome for both the dog and your family. Aussie Rescue of MN is here for support, advice and as a safety net for our dogs for the rest of their lives.

All puppies adopted through ARM will have a $100 spay deposit that will be returned upon completion of the procedure.

Does anyone have part of a day to help her?
