Brandi has chased chickens, has been obedience trained, loves to ride in the car/truck, weighing about 45 lbs. Seems already to be a bit jealous of the other dogs but does not really fight them.

| "Roper" is Deaf Adoption Pending!  Roper with the ice blue eyes, was pulled from a shelter under the Michigan chapter of AuCaDo Rescue. He is being fostered in Montgomery Illinois with a deaf dog and sign language experienced foster Mom. If interested in more info about this boy, an application must be submitted or a phone call before the foster contact information will be shared. Here is the initial evaluation of Roper from his foster Mom: He loves to play with the other dogs. However, he does not read warning signs very well. It seems the biggest problem was he couldn't hear her growl and he was too focused on the toy to pay any attention to her reactions. This was his first day in the foster home, so we will monitor his progress. We were told he was owner surrendered by disabled owners who could no longer care for him. Roper is a high energy dog and it seems like he played a lot of tug. Probably too much... He guards his toys and will only give them to you on his terms. It's very clear that he ran his last house hold. If I ignore him he gets very mouthy. He'll sit and bark at me to throw the toy and if I ignore that, he jumps up and grabs my hand. Also, if I'm holding the toy and don't throw it soon enough, he'll jump up and grab at it. If I physically push him back away from me, he will grab my hand and mouth it. So he's going to need a little work on that. I would not recommend him with young kids, but 10+ should be fine. On a good note... he's house broken! He will bark and go to the door when he needs to go outside. He goes out and potties right away and then barks to come back in. He's also picking up my signs really well and will come, sit, and lay down when asked. He does not jump on people or furniture. Needs work on a leash. He got a bath on Sunday, no problems there. He'll even jump in the tub for me! I think he'll be a great dog, but he needs some boundaries and needs to be a little more respectful. AuCaDo Australian Cattle Dog Rescue requires herding breed experience and require a fenced in yard to keep the dogs safe. Also suggested that a vibrating collar be used for training and recall if the dog is facing away from you. Sign language teaching ability is a plus. Final placement rests with his foster Mom. |
| "Rosie" Missing - Reward! Possibly Sighted In Effingham, IL  Rosie is a beautiful blue spayed female that is up to date on everything. Rosie is AVID microchipped. Rosie is approximately 1 yr of age. She walks nicely on a leash, loves people and other animals. Rosie is a little unsocialized but has not a mean bone in her body. We are working on introducing her to a lot of people. Rosie wants to be loved and will come up to you for attention. She just needs a little one on one and she will bond strongly. She is being crate trained. She has received her first kennel cough shot and did very well at the vets. Looking for that special home where she can get lots of love and attention.
