BLUE
I am looking to find a new home for our Blue Heeler – “Blue”. .He’s been an awesome dog minus one character flaw (i.e. desire to attack and hurt young dogs). Blue is just over 2 yrs of age and gets along very well with people of all ages, not to mention our 2 cats. He has been neutered and microchipped and is in good health. My girls ( 5 & 6) adore him and he’s never acted aggressively towards them even when they pull on his ears, tail, or try to ride him like a pony. Basically, he’s very people friendly. He’s also very well behaved with adult dogs no matter the size (Chihuahua -> Great Dane).
For some reason or another, and I’ve received many theories from animal behaviorists, humane societies, animal control, cattle dog rescue personnel, he has been and is extremely aggressive towards young dogs < 2yrs. I’ve tried various means of stemming the behavior, but the last attack which occurred a week ago has left my wife and I with very few alternatives. We were cited before when he attacked a puppy in our neighborhood 6 months ago and (beyond the fines and conditions we’ve had to abide by), an incident occurred last week with another young dog. Fortunately, the injuries to the dog were minor and our neighbor friends were very understanding.
While we love our dog Blue, if an incident were to occur again with people we were not friends with, then animal control would have Blue euthanized. This is not something that I would ever want to happen and I appreciate to be contacted by someone responsible and willing to adopt a very loving and devoted dog.
Blue needs in an environment where he can get the exercise and activity he needs on the property he lives on. A small yard in a busy suburban neighborhood isn't best for him.
Please contact aholsomback@gmail.com if you can help.

Hi, my name is Buddy! I'm a 3.5 yr old, 65-70 lb, neutered red heeler mutt. I was rescued when I was 2 - 3 months old. and I am fantastic. Unfortunately, my owner just can't keep me anymore. I'm completely housetrained. I'm a little bit of a dumpster diver, but as long as it is out os sight, it is out of mind. I'm a quick learner. If you can give me a good home, email my present owner at grschiavino@yahoo.com.

MIKA
Hi, my name is Mika! My name is an Native American name that means "Clever Raccoon" which describes me perfectly! I am extremely intelligent and very focused - and I have an adorable raccoon mask. I am an assistance dog, with Public Access Certification. I have been trained as a hearing dog, though with some fresh training I can help you with other types of assistance, as well. I am a one-person dog, meaning I am friendly with all adults (kids make me nervous!), but I am completely dedicated to MY person. This is typical of my breed, as we were bred to working closely with a cowboy-owner herding cattle. Also typical of my breed, I love having a "job" - I like having a purpose, particularly when it requires me to work closely with the human I am trained to assist. Sadly, the person who adopted me and trained me as a hearing dog is pursuing her lifelong dream of doing non-profit work in Third World countries. Because of the constant travel and the threat of exposing me to real! ly nasty zoological diseases, she thinks it would be better for me to have a permanent, loving home with someone who will appreciate my assistance. It's a hard decision, but I know she wants what's best for me. I have been trained to do sound alerts for: the telephone, alarm clock, kitchen/laundry timer, door knocks and the fire alarm. Because I am so smart, though, and a bit of a workaholic, I would love to learn some new tricks that I can use in your home and office. My basic obedience is pretty good (though I pull an awful lot on my leash) - and I can even "play dead"! As a certified assistance dog, I am accustomed to being taken to work with my person - for awhile that was an office (where I slept under the desk), and for awhile it was a retail store, where I had a bed to sleep on when I wasn't greeting customers. Since I am Public Access Certified, when I am helping someone with a disability, I can go in any place where the general public is allowed, though most of the! time I stay in the car during errands because I am happiest there. Other dogs bother me, though I have lived with housemate dogs many times. I have also lived with three cats, but I would prefer to be the only animal in your home - especially because the cats don't like it when I try to herd them! I am an Australian Cattle Dog (A.K.A. blue heeler), though I'm a former shelter dog, so not much is known about my history before 2 years old. I am about 7 now, and while I was once a typical high-energy herding dog, I've settled down alot. I love hiking, backpacking, running, and going for car rides, but when I'm at home or work I am pretty lazy. I am a spayed female, am current on my vaccinations, and have never had any health problems. If you think you have a job for me in your home and a place for me in your heart, please contact my person, Kat Jahnigen, 303-908-9904, kjahnigen@lycos.com, and youcan meet me!

CASSIE
She is a great dog when she is indoors. When she is outside however, she can be quite aggressive and has actually attacked neighborhood dogs (when provoked), and barks quite loudly at anyone coming to the house. This has become annoying to the point of being quite disturbing to me. I know she is just guarding the house, but I don't know if I can handle this much longer. She developed blood in her urine sometime back. It seemed to clear up when we gave her penicillin shots but it left her with the urge to urinate constantly. She leaks on the carpet often. We do not at this time have the funds to take her to the vet. Cassie also can jump the front fence and tends to run off. Our Instant Fence collar doesn't always work. She supposedly has killed some of the neighbor's chickens and geese but that hasn't been proved yet since they live next to a structure which houses foxes. They are threatening to sue us. I think we just need someone to take her who has the time and money to give her the attention she needs. Please contact needhisgrace@yahoo.com

KYLIE
My name, Kylie, is Aborgines for boomerang. This is fitting since I am an Australian Cattle Dog, with the cutest tipped ears you can imagine! I am around 5 years old, weigh about 45 pounds and am spayed. Before I was six months old, I had lived in four different places, but then my family finally found me. Maybe because of my formative months, I am the way I am – quite anxious and slow to trust. But I have come a long way! I am pretty smart (maybe even manipulative at times) so my mom and dad do their best to remind me "nothing in life is free". I usually have to sit or something before I get dinner or treats. I know my basic commands, as well as "go to bed". I am house trained and kennel trained, but I don't need to be in my kennel since I am completely trust-worthy in the house. Plus, I am even trained to use just one small area as a bathroom the yard.
I know my family loves me, but they can't do what they need to do for me any more. They have really tried for past couple of years, but with the boy child in the house, and my skittishness, particularly around children, it is best for me to be kept apart from him. When we do spend time in the same area, my mom is always right there, making sure I am safe and the boy child is safe. But it isn't that fun, because nobody feels relaxed when I am around. And, sadly for me, since the boy child can't be left alone, we are separated a lot. I am very lonely.
Gosh, I miss playing ball, running around the house to play hide and seek, going to the dog park, walking/hiking off leash, and just going for rides around town in the car.
Honestly, I am not very happy here, and I would *love* a home where I would be the one and only - no kids and, ideally, no other dogs - just me, Princess Kylie. Well, cats are ok, as long as they 'get' that we can play chase together.
If you know anyone who would be a good fit for a dog like me, please have them contact my mom at connolly.friends@gmail.com or 303.282.0805.

JAZZ
Jazz is an 8 year old German Shorthair/BlueHeeler mix who was rescued from many years of neglect. She is sweet, affectionate, very energetic and loves to run. She would be best with an active family who can provide lots of attention and regular exercise. Jazz listens well, is great in the house and will get along with other dogs when properly introduced. She currently lives with three male dogs. Please email: carusok9@gmail.com

BABY
Hello! My name is Baby. I am a cattle dog mix that needs to find a home. I was found running through alleys in Denver and my foster parents brought me home so that I wasn’t stuck out in the cold. I love my foster family, but they already have three dogs and I need my own family. I am very good with other dogs, my foster brothers and sister have been great fun to play with. I have met two cats here and I am curious but gentle as to what they are. I am protective of my foster family and do not like strange men, but I do like my foster dad, almost too much. I like to play with toys and chew on bones, I mean who doesn’t. I am very good about down time and relax with my foster family. I don’t have much training, as I do not know how to sit or stay off the furniture, but all I want to do is cuddle. I don’t have much experience on leash but I am learning quickly what it is all about. I can jump a short fence and will probably need a house with a backyard and a 6ft plus fence. It is my curiosity that gets me in trouble, but I am young, maybe a year. My ideal new home would have a brother or sister that has the same activity level as me, a fenced yard and a loving mom or dad or both. My foster family doesn’t know how I would react to small children. Please check out my pictures, I am a little thin now, but I should be to a normal size soon. Please email ahmandsmm@yahoo.com if you can help me find a home.
