Beautiful loving dog. Loves to play and swim. Loves to be close to people. Sad to say she is very territorial and has injured our other dog. We can no longer keep Bella. She'd be great on a farm or a place with lots of room to run and play. Waupaca County waupaca, WI MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-12-09-00508Brewster (male)
We took Brewster into our rescue program because he had a broken leg which needed to be repaired by an orthopedic veterinary surgeon. (The surgery was expensive and complicated, but it went well.) Now Brewster is a very happy camper! His leg still doesn't work normally, but our veterinarian is happy with the way it has healed and Brewster is still able to use it a fair amount. He plays and jumps (as you can see in his photos and the video), he can outrun most of the other dogs at the dog park, and he even loves negotiating simple agility obstacles.(/p) (p)We are so happy that we chose to do the right thing for Brewster, but--now that he is ... (Read More)healed--he really needs a loving home of his own. Brewster is very, very smart (he already knows 'sit'!), and he loves to play 'fetch' with a tennis ball. He is cute and fun-loving, he is extremely treat oriented (so he'll be easy to train) and he is eager to please. Brewster is just a little over a year of age so--because he is still a kid himself and is strong and sometimes clumsy--he might inadvertently injure a little person by knocking them over, so he would do best in a family who doesn't have young children.(/p) (p)Brewster plays well with other dogs (of all sizes) at the dog park, he is fine with cats, and he is very loving and cute! We are guessing that Brewster is probably a mix of Cattle Dog, Smooth Coated Collie and....a mixture of a few other breeds. We think he's the best of all possible worlds! He is full grown and he weighs 50 lbs., so he's just the right size--not too big and not too small. (And don't you LOVE his ears?)(/p) (p)Now that we have invested in saving Brewster's leg, might you be interested in taking him into your heart and your home? He has been neutered, immunized, wormed, and microchipped and--while our rescue has spent a significant amount to have his leg repaired--his adoption fee is only $275. (As they say, 'Rescue vet bill: $3000...Adoption fee: $275....A lifetime of sloppy kisses and devotion: (Less) One Starfish Rehoming Connections, Inc P.O.

Meet my little blue girl! A spade, 6 year old, pure bred ACD (blue heeler) up to date on her shots and heartworm negative. She weighs in at about 38 pounds. She has been in our home since 12 weeks of age, when I adopted her from an Iowa rescue. She is a great dog in many ways. I am looking for a new home for her not because of her, but because I adopted a child this summer who has needed more time/attention than I imagined, so she, the younger of my two dogs, is not getting the time/attention she so desperately wants. I teach part-time at a local dog training center, so she has been trained in obedience and agility since a young age. She ... (Read More)is incredibly intelligent, but sadly, because she is dog aggressive, cannot compete. She's okay with that because her favorite things to do include chasing balls and Frisbees in my fenced back yard. More specifics about my girl: Pros: Incredibly loyal, loving, friendly to all humans. Very smart and intuitive. Calm in the house. Happy to lie quietly as long as she has been exercised and is near her human. Cat friendly. She walks well on a leash and has a solid 'leave it' (especially if you have treats in your pocket). She can walk by other dogs on leashes or in yards, as long as they are not loose or do not charge her. Cons: As I mentioned, she is dog aggressive. She has never hurt another dog, but has gone after a few before I became extremely vigilant. She sometimes loves too much, that is, she really loves her humans, and wants to be near them whenever possible (though she does not suffer from separation anxiety). She is not cuddly. She wants to be next to you, but gets way too excited when she is cuddled (which makes her really squirmy, licky, and nippy). So I have always shown her my love by letting her be near me and by playing with her outside several times a day. Finally, she has some disc disease developing in the lower part of her back (near her tail). I also give her a small (not the full) dose of Meloxicam (a human-grade NSAID which is much cheaper). Training: She is housebroken and crate trained (though she is entirely reliable in the house so I haven't crated her in years). She is trained to the competition level in obedience and agility, though she cannot compete because of her aggression. She also cannot do jumps anymore because of her back. She knows variety of tricks as well and will do them over and over if it means she can chase the ball. She will herd a large, plastic Jolly ball as well. I have also taken a dog desensitization class with her to try to deal with her dog aggression. I wasn't able to continue the class, so the training was not effective. Recommended home: First, I would not recommend her to a home that has not experienced a cattle dog, or in the very least an intense Aussie or Border Collie. She would be fine with a family (with older children), a couple, or a single. It is imperative that your yard be fenced and that she is never loose where she could interact with another dog. She is an inside dog -- I would not want her to go a home where she would left outside, kenneled or not. She is a great, calm house dog. In fact, if you put her outside she was stand at the door and wait for you to come outside. She will not entertain herself outside, rather, she wants to interact with her handler. Evaluation: If you are interested in her, I would ideally like to meet you, but unless you are in the Upper Midwest, I would be okay with some Skype and/or phone conversations. Also, I would like to see proof that you have had herding dogs before, and that they have regularly seen the vet. Location: Madison, Wisconsin. (Less) Dane County Madison, WI MAP IT!

Australian Cattle Dogs can make good pets in Wisconsin if they match your IifestyIe. The Australian Cattle Dog is one of the most intelligent dog breeds, needing a lot of attention to stave off boredom. A neglected Australian Cattle Dog can become destructive. Australian Cattle Dogs have strong herding instincts and behave best when they have plenty of space and a job to do. Australian Cattle Dogs are well suited to farms and homes with large yards; they do not do well confined to an apartment or other small space. Australian Cattle Dogs are loyal and very obedient with attentive training. An Australian Cattle Dog tends not to do well with children unless it has known them since it was a puppy. Australian Cattle Dogs may be very close to their masters and reluctant to accept other people.
