Stormy
Stormy is a 13-week old female aussie-corgi mix. We met both parents, her dad is on the "Adopted in 2012" page - his name is Buck. Mama is a really cute 15 pound corgi mix who was not surrendered to us (but we had her spayed).
She is smart as a whip and a lot of fun. She will top out around 18-20 pounds when fully grown.
Lilly
Lilly is a 7-month old female who was born on the 4th of July 2011. She has one blue eye and one brown eye, and lots of energy. She is housebroken, knows how to heel, sit, lay down, shake hands and stay for short periods of time as a puppy does. She knows how to play catch and fetch. She also loves to ride in the car, go for long walks and go to dog parks. Lilly would do best in a house without cats.
Byrd
Byrd is a 2 year old Australian Shepherd Mix. He has a great personality. He loves to play in the snow, water, and does great when it comes to taking a bath. He also enjoys long walks, he is well leash trained, crate trained, house broken, and very well behaved. He knows commands such as... Sit, Lay down, Come, Shake, and Stay. He loves playing with other dogs too. Byrd will be losing his home where he currently lives with huge fenced in back yard, but he sleeps inside in the warmth at night. When it comes to playing, Byrd will play fetch with anything from a tennis ball to a wooden stick. He is always energetic and wagging his bushy tail.
Byrd is a vey very loving dog, once he warms up to you. He loves to be affectionate and cuddle, sometimes even thinks he is a lap dog. Byrd will be greatly missed but his family can no longer keep him.
Bo and Blue
Bo and Blue are 11 year old brothers that have lived together their whole lives. Their family is breaking up due to a divorce. They are healthy and happy boys. It would be best if they could stay together.
Mickey
Mickey is a male who is 11 months old. He was rescued from a puppy mill so he is shy but not at all aggressive. Mickey does not do well with cats.
Annie
Annie was born on 3-18-06, so she is just about 6 years old. She would be great with an older person or a family that has more time for her, and does not have any other dogs. Annie will need a fenced yard as she likes to chase cars. She is a very sweet girl who had to be surrendered because a family member developed a severe allergy.
Roxie
Roxie is an 8 year old female who bonds nicely with her immediate family. She tolerates cats and smaller dogs. She lived on a farm with neighbors a quarter mile away and she has never wandered off. She likes to play and run and has a happy personality. She can be protective of her turf.

Red Merle Molly (3-1/2 years old, 35 pounds) is gonna make someone a great dog, she likes toys and food and is smart as a whip.
She definitely needs a fenced yard because she will chase anything.
She is totally housebroken.
Molly loves, loves, loves food! The saying "will work for food" was coined by her.
She wiggles constantly and loves praise and kind hands. "Cute" and "cheerful" are two adjectives that best describe this girlie.
She would love to have someone to play doggie games like obedience or agility with her.
Star
Star is an 8 week old black tri male who appears to have a short coat. His tail has been docked and his dewclaws removed. Star is one of Opal's puppies, and is probably an Aussie mix. Star has a moderate temperament, and adjusts well to new situations.
The pups have been fostered with other dogs, cats, and children, and are very well socialized. They have been wormed and will be given their first shots before being adopted. They are crate trained, and have started on house-breaking.
Friday
Friday is an 8 week old black tri male who appears to have a short coat. His tail has been docked and his dewclaws removed. Friday is one of Opal's puppies, and is probably an Aussie mix. Friday is less adventuresome than the other puppies, but loves to cuddle with people, and has a fairly soft temperament.

Wiggles
Wiggles is happy aussie who is 1-2 years old. She likes everyone and gets along with most dogs. She is fine with cats and has had some obedience training. Wiggles is house trained and crate trained.
Marko
Marko came into Ottertail Humane Society in Fergus Falls, MN as a stray picked up on a road with another dog. Marko is approximately 4-5 years old. He appears to be an Aussie with a tail or possibly a mix. What we know about Marko is that he rides well in vehicles with or without a crate. He is very friendly to people regardless of age, but is a bigger boy. He weighed in at 66 pounds when he first came in but has now dropped to 57 pounds now that he has been getting more exercise with other Aussies. Marko would probably do best in a home with older children due to his size. He gets along with non-aggressive dogs regardless of size. He doesn't appear to chase anything smaller, but hasn't been tested with cats. Marko is very sweet, has a gorgeous coat, just wants to be loved and sticks close to his people. His energy level is lower, perhaps due to him being overweight, but he was obviously loved and can return the love.
Molly
Molly is a wonderful 6 year old female who is totally devoted to her humans. She was brought to HUA by her heartbroken owner, who had to move into an assisted living facility. When we moved her into her nice, big condo with nice dog friends, it broke her heart. She needs her people and was quickly moved to the sunroom and office area, and the sparkle is back in her eyes. Molly knows there are rules that other dogs must follow: they must play well with others and pick up after themselves, especially when it comes to treat time. She is very gentle when correcting the other dogs' bad behavior and a vacuum cleaner when it comes to crumbs! She is smart as a whip and fully house broken. Molly would do best in a home without small children and deserves the very best of homes, her final and forever home.
Barley
Barley is a 4 year old male who weighs about 50 pounds, and could stand to lose a little weight. Barley is not an alpha male and gets along with other dogs very well. He is house-trained, crate-trained, loves to ride in the car and gets along with children of all ages. Barley has not been around cats. Barley knows all his basic commands and is a big sweetheart with a puppy face. Barley was surrendered by his family as they had to move four times in the last few years and they felt he needed more room to run and play and just be Barley!
Jasper
Jasper is a one year old male. Jasper is a big sweetheart who gets along with everyone. He might take a couple of days to warm up but once he knows you he makes a wonderful happy companion. Jasper has been around dogs of all sizes, horses and children, and does well with all. Jasper is a real wiggle bug and loves to have adventures.
Russell
Russell is an young-adult male who weighs about 20 pounds. Russell is a tough little guy and has a lot of the characteristics of being a puppy mill dog. He is learning how to not be afraid of the world. Russell came into Northwest MN Aussie Rescue in September and finds his security in a crate or with other small aussies. Russell is learning to trust people and that there is a lot more to the world than a life inside a crate. Russell is crate-trained and house-trained but still needs a schedule. Russell needs a home where they will understand and work with his fears. He will require a fenced yard for his own safety as he is still learning to walk with a leash. Russell has a long way to go but is still young enough to learn that the world isn't always such a scary place.
