(Even though we asked the owner to surrender her to rescue.) Charades is a deaf red female around 1 year old. She has been in many homes in her young life but now she's safe in our rescue and will be completely vetted prior to her final placement in her forever home. Charades introduced well to our current foster group and got them all to run a 'Freedom' lap around the yard with her. Like most Deaf ACD's she watches her people closely and will learn quickly. She will start crate training, house training, basic obedience & manners. Check back for updates as we get to know Charades. Click on Charade's photo to see her photo album.

"Stephson aka Stevie" Meet Stevie in Creston, OH Thank You, Barb C, For Pulling & Transporting Stevie Thank You, Brenda & Clea, For Sponsoring Stevie's Lupine Collar New to rescue on 4-10-13. Stevie is a 13 week old female who was found as a stray by the Dog Warden. She is showing us she needs lots of socialization with new dogs to learn how to interact respectfully. She lacks in human manners (probably why she went unclaimed) but is willing to respect and learn proper behavior. Stevie will begin crate training, house training, general manners, and dog social skills. She is scheduled to be vetted on 4/30 and will be available after her evaluation. Prior experience raising an ACD puppy will be necessary to adopt Stevie. Check back for updates as we get to know her better. Click on Stevie's photo to see her photo album.

We will get her vetting scheduled during her 2-3 week evaluation. At this point we are seeing a very outgoing pup who needs to learn manners with both humans and canines. She will start crate training, house training, & leash manners. Please check back for more updates as we get to know Lyric better. Lyric will need an adopter with prior ACD puppy experience. UPDATE 4-5-13: Lyric has been in foster care for 2 weeks now. She is very dog social, plays ACD style with her foster friends, & likes to play fetch with her humans.

"Sig" Meet Sig in Creston, OH Thank You, Lisa K, For Sponsoring Sig Thank You, Lisa & Hooey, For Sponsoring Sig's Lupine Collar Thank You, Brenda & Clea, For Sponsoring Sig 1 Month Thank You, Roy & Helene, For Sponsoring Sig In Honor of Brix Thank You, Bonnie, For Sponsoring Sig In Honor of Helene & Brix Thank You, Brenda & Clea, For Sponsoring Sig "Wishing Sig the best from his friend Clea" New to rescue on 8-26-2011 from a Southern Ohio shelter. Sig and Sigorney were brought to the shelter as strays by some people who found them and had them for a while. They have their adult canine teeth just coming in so we are aging them between 5 - 6 months. Sig is the bigger of the two. He is very outgoing and friendly with every one and every dog he meets. He needs to learn people manners and needs to quit bossing his sister around, which he will learn with us. Sig's vetting is scheduled for September 8th. A deposit from an approved adopter will hold him until he is ready to go home. We are accepting Australian Cattle Dog experienced applicants for Sig. Update 11/01/11: Sig is ready for his forever home. He's doing great with our current foster group and his kennel mate is Piari. He's completely crate trained and doing very well on his house training. He's a more easy going pup who likes to watch what is going on before joining in. He is doing very well with his continued socialization and would thrive in an ACD savvy home. Sig's litter mate Sigourney has been adopted, now it's his turn. UPDATE 2/1/2012: Sig has been with us for over 5 months. We have watched him grow into a nice young ACD, as he works through trust issues. He has been introduced to many new dogs & he is selective on who he wants to befriend. He seems to have issues with smaller dogs of other breeds & cats. We will not place Sig in a home with cats and all resident dogs must meet him prior to adoption at our foster home. Sig is aloof with strangers, so he will also play a part in deciding what home he will go to. He adores his foster family and will be a velcro dedicated ACD once his adopters have gained his trust. UPDATE 5/28/2012: Sig is now a year old & has come a long way! He is doing well with meeting new dogs and is soliciting new people for attention :) We are very proud of this young male. His new best friend is a smaller terrier mix. Sig will require an adopter with ACD experience and the willingness to continue to keep him on the right path.

"Caellum" Adopted! Thank You, Robin-Rose-Waldo, For Sponsoring Caellum's Lupine Collar 3-21-13 Caellum has a pending adoption. 3-17-13 Caellum comes into rescue as an owner surrender. Caellum was born on 12-19-2011. He was purchased from a Pet Shop at 8 weeks of age. His family had all his vetting completed, crate trained him, socialized him well, & he even enjoyed 3 mile runs with his Mom. Now at a little over a year he is scaring their young girls and harassing their older dog & cats. They have decided it's in his best interest to be surrendered to rescue due to not enough time and space for his care. Training advice was offered but they feel surrendering him is for the best. Caellum is a larger dark red male who is tail impaired. We will work on his manners around people and new dogs. He wants to do right and is willing to learn. Please allow us to evaluate him for a minimum of 2-3 weeks. Click on Caellum's photo to see his photo album.

"Gauge" Adopted! Thank You, John, For Sponsoring Gauge's Lupine Collar Gauge is from a southern Ohio shelter & is being fostered in Creston, OH. Gauge was an owner surrender to the shelter due to the family moving. He was born on July 4, 2012 and is a solid built male. Gauge introduced nicely to the pack, but everyone knows he's is intact, so first on the agenda is his neuter and micro-chip. He will learn crate training, house training, & general manners. Check back for updates as we get to know Gauge better. Click on Gauge's photo to see his photo album.

"Rowan" Adopted! Thank You, Kathy & Claudia, For Transporting 2 Pups Rowan & Rollow Thank You, Chris & Kylie, For Sponsoring Rowan's Lupine Collar Thank You, Traci, For Sponsoring Rowan 11-18-12 Rowan and sibling Rollow come into rescue as owner surrenders to an out of state shelter. Actually, 3 were surrendered, and the shelter allowed one to be adopted instead of keeping them together. (They are not old enough to leave each other in our opinion.) Their age seems to be about 6-7 weeks. During their time in rescue they will be fully vetted & crate trained. They will socialize with other ACD's who will help them learn along with their human family. We will update as we learn their personalities. ACD experience is required for adoption and the pups will not leave until they are close to 16 weeks, the extra time is needed since they were taken from their Mom and litter mates at such a young age. UPDATE 12-14-12: Rowan is a very adventurous pup! He likes to explore with or without you. He has adapted to crate & house training very well. He is learning basic obedience and how to play with the older fosters & toys. He is very human and dog social. Rowan and Rollow are gaining weight nicely and will be altered on January 3rd. We are requiring a home with prior ACD experience to continue him on the right track to be a well behaved ACD. He is available for a meeting with an approved adopter but will not be ready to go home until mid-January. Click on Rowan's photo to see his photo album.
