Ferris ARPH 10709

Before contacting us in regards to a dog, please complete an adoption application Adoption Application.  

Come out and meet Ferris at the City of Duluth Bark in the Park on Saturday July 12 from 10am to 2pm.  For more information, visit www.dogdaysofduluth.com.

Ferris sends a huge puppy kiss and hug to Susan Croswell and her Aussie from Tallahasee, FL for their generous donation towards his care. 

Ferris is a two year old black tri male with a docked tail.  He is up to date on vaccinations, neutered and being maintained on heartworm prevention.

Ferris came to rescue mostly starved after he was turned into animal control by his owner.  Ferris is doing very well in foster care, he’s gaining weight and his personality is really starting to shine.  Ferris has done very well with all people that he meets, the other male Aussies in his foster home, and the 11 year old child living there as well.  Ferris must be placed in a home with no cats.

Ferris is a very needy dog who bonds quickly and completely with people.  He wants to be right beside you, sitting in your lap, or at least leaning against his human at all times.  He can be a little pushy with submissive dogs, so a home with a confident and playful dog would be best for Ferris.  He isn’t top dog material by any means, he will simply take advanatage of really submissive dogs.

Ferris rides excellently in the car, walks very nice on leash and is housetrained and crate trained.  Ferris is fostered in Kennesaw, GA.  Approved adopters may contact contact Kim Johnson.

Derry ARPH 10708

Before contacting us in regards to a dog, please complete an adoption application Adoption Application.  

Derry is a gorgeous red bi Aussie with a docked tail. She has the most beautiful green eyes we’ve ever seen.  She is spayed, vaccinated and being maintained on heartworm prevention. She is housetrained, very respectful of other dogs and ignores cats.

Derry is a very loving, submissive dog who will lay for hours and allow her person to brush her coat.  Her coat is very sunbleached right now, but we’re working on it daily to get her looking her best.  Derry loves attention, and will promptly fall sound asleep when being brushed.

Derry would be a wonderful candidate for any home.  Her sweet and loving nature makes her an excellent companion for anyone.  Derry’s gentle demeanor would probably make her an excellent candidate for therapy work, and more than makes up for her current appearance.  Derry is fostered in Roswell, GA.

Approved adopters may contact contact Kim Johnson.

Meg ARPH 10705

Before contacting us in regards to a dog, please complete an adoption application Adoption Application. 

Meg is a gorgous 6 year old black tri Aussie with a bobbed tail.  She is vaccinated, spayed and being maintained on heartworm prevention.

Meg was turned into the shelter by her former family because they wanted a dog that played with their children.  We guess Meg just didn’t fit the bill.

Meg is very shelter shocked right now and is trying to get her bearings.  She’s had a lot of change in the last few days, and losing the family that she’s always known has her a bit confused.  So far, we know that she is a gentle girl that will let anyone pretty much do anything to her.

 We’re giving her lots of hugs to let her know that she’s not going to be abandoned again and everything’s going to be good from here on out. 
Meg is a shy girl and very quiet.  She prefers to stay out of the hustle and bustle of her foster home, but shows curiosity in the other dogs there in a very gentle way. 

Meg is probably never going to be a chase a ball or playful dog, but she’ll completely devote herself to her family and would make a fantastic companion for someone who is just looking for a friend to spend time with.

Her eyes are so soulful and they almost seem to be wondering what she did wrong to end up in the shelter.  Meg is fostered in Monroe, GA.  Her ideal home would be a quiet one without a lot of activity.  Even though she’s lived with children before, she seems very nervous about them running around; even older kids, so we request that she be adopted to a home with no children. 

Meg would do well as an only dog or with a laid back doggie companion.  She loves people, and loves getting hugs.  

Approved adopters may contact contact Kim Johnson.

Mr Bean ARPH 10714

Mr Bean is an eight year old black tri male who has a docked tail. He was rescued from the shelter. This older boy is currently undergoing medical care after his time at the shelter. He is an overweight boy who is working on getting healthy. He is  a lovable boy, who enjoys people and other dogs.  His did not deserve to be thrown away at during his later years of life and left to die in a shelter. 

To see Mr Bean after a week in foster care is to see a different dog, he is doing so much better now. He has recovered from the case of kennel cough he had and he is on medication for his arthritis now which is helping him to move around. He is very happy to have a second chance. He is housebroken and a very easy going boy. He loves walks and hopefully he will take some of the weight off with some daily walks.

Bringing in an older dog to the program means added costs to help get them healthy, if you would like to help support Mr. Bean  you can make a donation on his behalf at

http://www.aussierescue.com/SupportARPH/DonatetoARPH.aspx

Your support helps us to be able to help our senior citizan dogs out!  Mr Bean thanks the Scarbrough family for making a donation in the memory of Carol O’conner to help support his care.

If you have any questions please contact Kim Johnson at savaussies@comcast.net

Milo ARPH 10707

Before contacting us in regards to a dog, please complete an adoption application Adoption Application.

Milo sends a big puppy kiss to Sheley Revis, and her Aussies Enzo and Sydney for their generous donation towards his care.

Milo is a 2 year old blue merle Aussie with a tail.  He is neutered, vaccinated, and housetrained.  Milo gets along well with other dogs, cats and is very gentle with children.

Milo does have a few issues.  He has problems that we refer to as “advanced cuteness”; and “sweetness to the extreme”.  All kidding aside, Milo is one of the nicest, most gentle pups we have met in a long time.  He’s also on the smaller size for an Aussie, weighing only 30 lbs, so he’s built for travel and everything Aussie in a space saving package.  Milo would be an excellent fit for someone with a little less yard available to a dog and who enjoys taking regular walks and wants a dog that will soak up their attention.  He is just a dream on leash.

He’s a nice laid back kind of boy, but does enjoy the company of other dogs and chewing on bones when he thinks no one is looking.  He loves attention too, and will follow his foster parents around the house quietly waiting for his turn and some affection.  Milo is about the cutest thing since Beanie Babies…and did we mention he’s unbelievably sweet too?  Milo has impeccable house manners and fantastic instincts where children are concerned.  How he ended up in a shelter is just beyond us. 

Little Milo has tested positive for heartworms and won’t be available for a couple of months until he is treated for them. 

Don’t let this little fellow pass you by….you’d be hard pressed to find a nicer dog.  Milo is fostered in Atlanta, GA.  Approved adopters may contact Kim Johnson at savaussies@comcast.net.

Milo could use some donations to see him back on the road to recovery.

Marcell 10713 Medical Hold

Marcell is a four year old red tri male with a docked tail. He is about 40 pounds an has  a lot of muscle tone. Marcell is currently on hold for treatment of kennel cough and heartworms.  Marcell came to us with a matted coat that smelled of chemicals. After a nice bath and brushing we found a stunning dog.  He has a dark red color that will turn heads when it grows back in.  While shy at first meeting at the shelter, this boys personality has emerged. He is friendly and loving, a bit leary of small toddlers but ignores cats and loves to play with other dogs.

Marcell is one of those dogs that knows how lucky he is to have been rescued. He seems to understand that this is his second chance to have a great life and he is taking advantage of the good life.

He is housebroken and crate trained, and his worst habit is jumping up (very gently) when he meets you. He loves attention and is doing well with his heartworm treatment.  Marcell bonds with people quickly and is eager to be the center of some lucky person’s world.  Marcell will be ready for a home in August if all goes well with his heartworm treatment.

If you would like to help this handsome red boy out with funds for his heartworm treatment please go to www.aussierescue.comand sponsor him with his ARPH number. If you would like to send a donation of treats or toys to help keep Marcell happy during his time crated after his heartworm treatment please contact Kim .

Marcell is located in the Savannah GA area and if you would like to sponsor Marcell please contact Kim Johnson at savaussies@comcast.net

Mint Julep ARPH 10704

Before contacting us in regards to a dog, please complete an adoption application Adoption Application.

Mint Julep sends a huge puppy kiss to Nathalie and Don Latimer and their two Aussies Duke and Vandy who helped transport her to rescue and for their generous donation to her care.

Julep is a sweet and beautiful 2 year old Aussie with a tail.  She came to rescue via Morgan County Animal Control.  She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, is housetrained and rides well in the car.

Julep is fostered with a cat, a small dog, and 2 Aussies.  She is learning to play and resting up from her adventure into rescue.  Julep would be happy as an only dog companion, or with a laid back doggie friend.  She gets a little nervous when her foster brothers or sisters are milling about and likes to keep her bed all to herself. 

She’s got a gorgeous pinwheel of tail that goes around and around instead of side to side.  And her tail is always moving.

Julep, like so many of our Aussies, has tested positive for Heartworms and will be available for adoption in a couple of months.

She could really use some donations to see her on the road to recovery.  Julep is fostered in Smyrna, GA. 

Approved adopters may contact contact Kim Johnson.

Baloo ARPH 10711

Before contacting us in regards to a dog, please complete an adoption application Adoption Application.

Baloo is an eight year old blue merle female with a tail and pretty blue eyes. She is spayed, heartworm negative and on heartworm prevention.  Baloo is a vicitm of the housing crisis, her former owner lost his home and had to turn Baloo over to the shelter, he even came back twice to try to get her back out only to have to turn her in again when he could not find a home for her.

Baloo has had a great time since entering foster care, she loves to run and play and appears much younger than her eight years. She enjoys chasing the other dog in her foster home around and is helping to get her in shape. She loves to snuggle and is great with kids also.  Since coming into foster care this girl has just blossomed. She prides herself on being a personal trainer for the other dog in her foster home. She loves to run and play and helped her foster sister take off those last few pounds she was having trouble shedding. 

Baloo has not seen a squirrel she does not want to meet, and even enjoys chasing birds in the air, she is a very young eight years old, she does need a fenced yard to run and play in she really enjoys the outdoors. She is working on leash walking but does like to pull a bit on lead.    While she has a lot of spunk when outside, she settles down nicely in the house and has great house manners including being housebroken.

This girl will be a great addition to any family, but we would like for her to have  a home with another dog to keep her company.

If you would like to sponsor Baloo while in foster care please make a donation with her number 10711 at www.aussierescue.com.

She is fostered in the Savannah area, please contact Kim Johnson with any questions at savaussies@comcast.net.

Felix ARPH 10651

Before contacting us in regards to a dog, please complete an adoption application Adoption Application.

Felix is a 4-year-old double merle Aussie with a natural bobtail that wags a lot. This big-boned boy has two blue eyes, enormous ears and fuzzy feet. Felix is vaccinated, neutered and being maintained on heartworm prevention.

Even though we suspect Felix is the result of a double merle breeding, he appears to hear just fine. He does have one pupil that doesn’t appear to respond to light, but his vision doesn’t seem impaired by it.

Felix was very bonded to his father, Dooley, but he is adjusting well to the separation. Felix has become good buddies with the dogs at his foster home, so he does well around other dogs, rides nicely in the car, and walks quite well on leash. He needs to live in a home with no cats.

Felix wants to be near his person and will complain if he isn’t. He’ll roll over on his back as you put on his leash, stand on his head when he wants to play and loves to watch movies quietly with his pack.

Felix is a very responsive Aussie. Because we don’t know if Felix has had any exposure in the past to small children, we request that he be adopted into a home with no kids or those over the age of 12.

Felix is fostered in Woodstock, GA. 

Approved adopters may contact contact Kim Johnson.

Dooley ARPH 10702

Before contacting us in regards to a dog, please complete an adoption application Adoption Application.

Dooley is a handsome 7 year old Aussie with a docked tail. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and being maintained on heartworm prevention.

Dooley and his son Felix came to rescue when they were turned in by their owner to animal control. Dooley is learning what living as a housedog is like. He’s not had a single accident in his crate or in the house and is a perfect southern gentleman.

Dooley is a beautiful dog with silky fur and the most unusual eyes we’ve ever seen. One is brown, the other is blue with a brown stripe right through the center. He rides well in the car and walks nicely on leash. Dooley is tolerant of other dogs, but should probably be placed in a home with no cats. He will bark at them, and “round them up” then “hold them” where he wants them to be. Well….he is an Aussie after all!

Dooley is well past his wiggle butt days, so he just sashays his rump back and forth slowly when he’s happy.

Because we don’t know if Dooley has had any exposure in the past to small children, we request that he be adopted into a home with no kids or those over the age of 12, although he’s doing very well with the dog savvy 11 year old boy in his home.

Dooley’s favorite thing in the world is to take long walks with his foster pack around the neighborhood. He just lights up when he sees his leash and everyone’s getting their collars on. If you are an easy going kind of family that likes to take long walks and are looking for a low key and loving companion, Dooley is the dog for you.

Dooley is fostered in Kennesaw, GA.

Meara ARPH 10469

Before contacting us in regards to a dog, please complete an adoption application Adoption Application.

Come out and meet Meara at the City of Duluth Bark in the Park on July 12 from 10am to 2pm.  For more information, visit www.dogdaysofduluth.com.

Meara is a beautiful small red tri female with a tail.  She is spayed, vaccinated, and being maintained on heartworm prevention.  She is housetrained and crate trained.

Meara came from a situation where she and several dogs were living wild on someone’s property.  The dogs were forced to resort to a “survival of the fittest” mentality, and this has damaged Meara’s socialization with other dogs and people.  Meara sees all other creatures in her world as a potential threat. 

Meara has seen many changes since coming into rescue…and that has further damaged her state of mind.  She is currently fostered by an experienced foster home that will be working with her over the next few weeks on getting her where she needs to be.  Meara will remain in this home until the right forever family comes along.  She can’t have anymore change in her life, and needs a family committed to her continued socialization and training. 

If you feel that you can offer this to her, please email Kim Johnson at savaussies@comcast.net.

Vinny is about 1.5 years old and is vaccinated, neutered, house and crate trained. He’s walking much better on leash, and enjoys being with other dogs. He is good with cats, but will try to play with them, so a home with dog savvy cats would be best for Vinny.

Vinny is a super loving dog with a nice, playful personality. He does well with children, and rides nicely in the car. Vinny is an athletic boy who can jump a four foot fence with ease,  he need caution when left outside alone, as he is a bit of an escape artist.  Vinny just needs home that wil keep him active and give him an outlet for his enegy.

Vinny is just waiting for a loving family to come along and fill him with obedience and love. Vinny is fostered in Hampton, GA. Approved adopters may contact Aubrey Kinnaman.

His coat is coming back in now and he is turning into a good looking boy unfortunately he does not care for the camera….

Do you want a dog with personality in spades?  Do you enjoy carrying on meaningful conversations all afternoon long?  Then Hugo might just be the dog you’ve been waiting for.  Hugo is a comical, quirky Aussie with a budding personality.  He is almost human in the way he converses with his people.  Hugo loves to tell new people all about himself.  He doesn’t bark, he doesn’t howl, he chats and we mean that literally.

Tobi - ARPH 10250

OK so you may not bother to take a second look at me as I don’t photograph well, I just don’t like the camera but I am much cuter in person than what these pictures show.  I am hoping that there is someone out there that will take the time to look past the bad pictures into the heart of a great boy wh ojust need a haircut! Tobi has had his summer haircut to help him keep cool in the summer.

Tobi is a  two year old blue merle male with a natural bob tail. Tobi is fully vetted and heartworm negative. He is neutered and up to date with all shots. He is considered a self merle blue, without any white in his coat and although he is not flashy he has a lot to offer. Tobi is a smaller male at under 40 pounds. Tobi is great with other dogs, ignores cats and is fine with children, he is fine with livestock and even enjoys the pot bellied pig at the foster home!

Tobi has been waiting for a home for several months and keeps getting over looked, maybe because he is not a flashy boy. Tobi does need a while to get to know his new people but he loves his foster family and adjusted quickly. Tobi’s biggest enjoyment in life is having other dogs to play with , he will play for hours, but you do need to watch him around an open gate as he does like to wander if given the opportunity.  Tobi’s foster family has worked hard with him to introduce him to new things and he has come a long way but he needs his own family to take him the rest of the way.

Tobi is know as “Mr. Personality” by his foster family, he came out the shelter and made himself right at home. He is housebroken and crate trained. He loves to run and play and enjoys being a clown… He is a fun loving boy who is well behaved and still has a lot of puppy energy, he does know when to settle down and enjoys watching TV with the kids and relaxing. Tobi is well mannered in the house and housebroken and crate trained. He is shy upon first meeting but warms up to people quickly. Tobi enjoys toys and likes to ride in the car also. If you are looking for an easy going boy with lots of love to give. He is an easy dog to have around.

Tobi will make a great addition to any family. If you are interested in Tobi, please fill out an online adoption application. Approved adopters may contact Kim Johnson.

Tobi is located near the Savannah area.
