Trixie in VA
Trixie is a spayed, 60 lb. sweet and amiable 3 yr old tricolor ES. She has lots of energy and joy! Trixie loves to play and romp outside and gets along with the foster’s dogs and cats. She is extremely affectionate, but must learn to trust you first, when meeting strangers. She is very attached to her female foster but is frightened by most men. She reacts by barking and retreating to her crate. She needs someone to help her feel safe when around men. This will take patience and time.
She is housebroken, knows her basic commands and wants nothing more in life than to please you.
Trixie enjoys her crate and uses it to decompress when needed and to relax. She is the typical English Shadow, loves to lie down at your feet while you watch TV or work at your computer and follows her person everywhere.
Trixie has high prey drive and would love to chase squirrels or deer. For this reason, she may not be safe with chickens and will need a secure fence. She is incredibly fast and athletic.
Trixie will blossom and bloom into an ideal companion in a home that understands and appreciates her.
If you have questions about Trixie, please email Kim at staroseranch@jps.net put "NESR Trixie" in the subject line.

Hazel in TN
Hazel was found with her siblings in Clarksville, TN, on January 23. She is approximately 3.5 months old and a gorgeous, high-drive black-and-tan ES puppy with a natural parial bobtail looking for the perfect home.
She's an incredible, precocious, athletic puppy with lots of energy and smarts. She’s afraid of nothing, is smarter than your average 5th grader, and is curious to a fault. She lives to please, but until she knows how to please, she’ll keep trying everything until something sticks. She needs an experienced handler to help her flourish into her best self while setting consistent behavior boundaries.
Hazel loves snow, water, toys, grass — everything! She thrives during training sessions and already knows sit, lie down, stay, and wait. She’s almost completely house-trained and does well in a pen/crate. She’s fine with all male dogs, and we believe she’d be fine with non-dominant female dogs when grown. Her sassy personality might get her in trouble with other dominant ladies down the road. This is dog-dependent, and an experienced handler knows his/her pack the best. She and her current foster home’s female ES have bonded well, and both are dominant females. Her future owner will play a big role in her long-term success with other dogs.
She adores children of all sizes and “plays” soccer with the kids in her current foster home. Although she’s unfamiliar with cats, potential adopters should know she can be incessantly playful with the small adult dog in her foster home and needs redirection at this age.
She’s highly food- and toy-motivated. She needs a home that can devote time to consistent training and provide outlets like agility, nosework, farm life (with a lot of desensitization), disc, dock diving, or other enrichments. Hazel is NOT a couch potato, but she’s developing her “ES off switch” just fine. She will not thrive crated in a home where her humans are gone all day.
Can you give this sweet girl the life she deserves? If so, please apply!
If you have questions about Hazel, please email Kim at staroseranch@jps.net Put NESR Hazel in the subject line.
If you have a working or sport home and would like to apply to adopt Hazel, here is the link to the application:

Peety in CA - Adoption Pending
Five-year-old Peety needed a new home after his owner’s house burned down, and he could no longer afford a place where he could keep a dog. Though Peety has not been with his foster very long, we know he is housebroken, and alerts by barking to let you know he needs to go outside. He’s good with strange dogs, and our foster reports he also gets along with her dog-savvy cat. He likes pets from people he knows and is good with grooming, brushing especially, and quietly accepts work on his feet. With a little bit of time, he also warmed up to our foster’s father. Our evaluator found that he loved learning to play Frisbee, and likes toys more generally.
Peety’s first owner lived in an isolated location, and we think he may have learned some bad defensive habits around strangers as a consequence. He will need management around strangers in the home at first. On neutral ground, he’s fine with other people and dogs. In the home, he’d do best with another female, or as an only dog.

Annie in VT
NESR Annie is a 6 year old Border Collie who is much more ESy than her intensely focused, high speed relatives. She’s a very sweet natured dog who was rescued from a rough situation and it will be a couple months before she’ll be ready for adoption. Right now she is super shy with humans, a little chubby (53 pounds, should be 45 or so), and very curious (but still hesitant) about toys and treats. She gets along well with her new “brothers” and watches them closely trying to figure out how dogs & humans can get along. She isn’t convinced yet, but she has started carefully taking bits of roast beef from patient people. She walks very well on leash, has been very good about getting all the mats and other stuff brushed out of her coat, hasn’t had an accident after the first two nights, and has never barked at all in the time she’s been here.
She’s getting spayed in a couple weeks. Our goals after that are for her to continue to learn to trust humans.
If you would like to know more about Annie, please contact jan@caledoniamission.org Please put NESR Annie in the subject line.

Other Rescue Organizations
|
|
The following dogs are with other Rescue Organizations and are possibly not English Shepherds but they are English Shepherdish enough to be listed here. All adoptions are handled by the fostering Rescue Group. Please contact them or visit their web sites for more info about these dogs and other fine dogs they have in rescue!
PetFinder is a website devoted to listing dogs from shelters and rescue groups around the country. You can search PetFinder by breed or region to find the right dog for your family.
There are often English Shepherds listed on the PetFinder pages although sometimes the breed identification seems a little iffy. However, here are some dogs currently on the PetFinder website who are either ES or ESy. NESR has no connections with any of these organizations and makes no promises regarding the dogs listed here from PetFinders. We offer this list in the interest of one stop shopping...
If you have any questions about finding what you're looking for on PetFinders email Lynn for help.
