Hi, my name is IVAN!!!! I am a 2yr old blue Austrailan Cattle dog. I am very high energy and playful. I do my best when I have something to keep me busy. Lots of land would be a dream home for me, and maybe even something to herd, but then again I can't be too picky. I do need some obedience classes to brush up on my manners and to help me bond with my new family. They say that I would do best with adults and teens only (no one under 12 yrs old). If you think you would like me to be part family forever, please stop down and visit with me.

Ivan weighs approximately 36 pounds. He has been at the shelter since January 26, 2012.

To learn more about Ivan, call the shelter at (412)321-4625 and ask about animal ID number A152367. Or email Gretchen at gretchen@wpahumane.org.

Kiki is a one year old sweet, mixed breed dog with some ACD in her. She is very smart, full of energy and very loving with people. She has a very strong prey drive and needs an activity to engage that. She would be great at a canine sport such as agility or flyball.

Kiki is not able to get the exercise she needs at the shelter. She would be a great dog for someone who understands this breed. Kiki is spayed, and has all her shots. She is a healthy, beautiful dog. If interested, please contact the Middletown Humane Society (NY) at Luvyrpets2@gmail.com or call 845 361-1861.

I'm a star! My video has been posted to Bensalem.Patch.com

Wiley a handsome 4 year old red ACD. He is not particularly interested in toys. Instead he displays a relatively low energy level and a tremendous amount of interest in the outside world -- looking out the windows and pawing at the door when allowed to run in the training room.

As with many of our purebred dogs, I came to the attention of a Cattle Dog Rescue group. I have been at the shelter since February, so they visited to evaluate pulling me into a foster home. My re-activity to another dog suggested I would be best served as an only dog in a home. This coupled with my marking behavior with my urine lead the rescuers to pay for neuter surgery in the hopes that the reduced testosterone levels may lessen my re-activity and drive to mark so often with my urine.

In an effort to get Wiley adopted into a home environment that would meet his needs, we are willing to consider him as an outdoor dog. An outdoor living plan would usually be grounds for the denial of an adoption application, but since Wiley seems so comfortable in his kennel, has little to no interest in toys or affection and tends to mark territory every few feet when he leaves his cage, we are willing to consider him for an adopter interested in an outdoor dog. Our field agent will check for proper shelter and ample room for exercise.

Due to my extended stay here at the shelter, I have had my Distemper and Influenza vaccines and their related booster shots. My Rabies vaccine is good through February of 2012. I was treated for worms and am parasite-free. All of these services and the $20.00 adoption donation result in a $91.00 adoption fee. We offer heartworm testing, preventive medication, and micro-chipping services for an additional charge at the time of adoption.

My strengths include a quiet confidence and easy-going nature with people. I am not particularly toy-oriented so no worries about the obsessive ball throwing that can be present with a herding dog. I walk well on a leash with volunteers here and respond to training with food.

Jess is a seven year old that is patiently waiting for that special someone. Jess is a very smart girl who knows the commands sit, down, paw and stay. She is a very affectionate and loyal when given the chance to adjust to her new surroundings. Jess can't wait to share her new home with adults and older respectful children. Other furry friends are not her cup of tea. If you are interested in adopting Jess, please fill out an adoption questionnaire and stop in with your family to meet Jess.

Henry has grown into a very handsome young man - he is just over a year old. Henry was originally named Opossum by the vet staff that rescued him and if you look at his puppy pictures you will understand why.

Please visit his petfinder page or email Tim for more info.

Emma is an 8 year old spayed female that is very loving but would do best in a home without other dogs. She may tolerate cats if they don't get in the way of attention she is getting from her humans. She is still very active and loves going for walks. Seems to be good with kids but probably older ones would be safer as she can be reactive if poked. She's the kind of dog that loves to snuggle and go for car rides.

If you are interested in meeting or adopting her, please check her Petfinder page or e-mail justsarah741@yahoo.com.

David is a wonderful boy. If interested, please email Jenn or call 973-386-0590. David also has a Petfinder listing.
