If you’ve always wanted an Aussie but don’t have time for puppy shenanigans, we may have the perfect match for you!!
Jiro is a beautiful 8 year old red Merle who is around 40 #. He is still pretty energetic when it comes to fetch and as some Aussies do, he gets a little obsessed. If you throw it, he will fetch it! He will settle down when play is stopped however. He tends to be a bit protective of his home and people, so his new family will want to have a plan in place for visitor greetings. He’s friendly, but can get a bit vocal and overstimulated at the door or gate.
Kumo may be your guy if you’re not a fan of a velcro dog who seeks your attention, but enjoys a short game of keep away from time to time. He is a little bigger than Jiro, and is a gorgeous blue Merle. Rather than act like a fool, he prefers to just shadow his human, choosing to show his affection by proximity without being too needy. He’s still quite energetic for a 10 year old guy and has many more years to give his forever person.
The previous owner of these two boys has developed a severe allergy and is no longer able to physically interact with them. They miss being part of the family. Neither of these boys have been around cats but they’ve helped raise human children and are trustworthy with respectful kids of any age.
Echo is the largest of these middle aged gentlemen, and he has the heart of a gentle giant. He is a unicorn, as he is basically perfect. He is friendly with other mellow dogs and loves humans of all sizes. He is respectful of cats and shows indifference to other small animals and livestock. He loves a good game of fetch but has a bit of arthritis so he will need to be monitored to keep him from overdoing it! He would play all day if you would let him. He isn’t on any medication but he takes some joint supplements. This handsome red boy is about 9 years old and over 50 #.
All of these boys are well mannered house dogs who potty outside, can be left home alone without issue, and have recently had their vet updates. If you have a fenced yard and room on your bed(or on a dog bed next to the bed), any one of these guys would fit right in. Western Australian Shepherd Rescue has transport volunteers so would consider adoption anywhere in the PNW.
