Every once in a while we are told that high energy herding dogs shouldn't be kept in the house 🤣😂. (In all seriousness: we only adopt to indoor homes and a high energy or high drive dog that has their needs met is easier to live with).
Do you have a soccer player in your house looking for a partner to help work on their footwork? Or do you need a goalie that will bring the ball back to you? Or a partner that will always "pass" the ball back? Lucy is your girl through and through! ⚽️🐾⚽️

Jack who was adopted in 2022 from rescue had a birthday celebration. Check out the magic trick of the vanishing cupcake!
His owner says: "Jack is my pride and joy. I'm so fortunate to have such a smart loyal Aussie."

Updates on Tanner!
UPDATED BIO - Tanner is a gorgeous neutered Red Tri, who came to rescue out of a hoarding situation, who is very sweet and sensitive. He needs a little bit of time and patience to warm up to new people and adjust to new environments, but once he's comfortable with you, you're his everything.
Tanner has come a long way in his foster homes, learning to enjoy walks on the leash and rides in the car. Tanner would love a home with another dog to keep him company. He doesn't play but really enjoys the companionship and has more confidence when there's another dog around to let him know things are safe.
The details:
Needs Fence: yes
Good with dogs: yes (calm and confident)
Good with cats: Unknown, no current exposure
Good with kids: older or no kids
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.

Tonka:
My foster mom is shocked I haven’t found my forever home yet.. I am house trained, potty trained, good with kids, good with meeting new people, good with cats, and good with most dogs. I prefer to be in charge but I play really well with my 2 foster sisters. My foster mom says I am a gentle giant and such a sweet boy. I am more laid back than your typical Aussie, and also bigger since I am mixed with Great Pyrenees. I was surrendered by my previous owners who lost their home and was noted that I am about 3 years old. I know sit, shake and lay down commands. I am pretty well behaved however I do need work on learning how to properly walk outside. Outside stimuli like cars and dogs make me uncomfortable so I tend to bark a lot, my foster mom works with me every day to try and break this habit.

Tonka on a walk
Tonka has been working hard on being a better citizen on walks - his dedicated foster, who had identified that he struggles with common stimuli on walks, such as cars and people, has been giving him opportunities to work on getting more comfortable and respecting the leash. He has responded very well to the front clip harness and is getting better at ignoring the cars going by. Nice job Tonka!
