🍁 Cute, Cuddly COPPER! 🍁

Copper is an ADORABLE dog and a loving furry friend! Unfortunately, his owner was recently relocated to a station in Japan and, heartbreakingly, was unable to bring Copper along.

When Copper lived with his original owner, she worked from home and was able to spend lots of time with him throughout the day. He is currently staying with her mother, who works long hours in the medical field and has an unpredictable schedule.

Without a consistent human presence, Copper has become increasingly anxious and insecure. We are hoping to find him a home where he can receive the time, attention, and companionship he deserves.

Wonderful With Other Dogs! 🐶

Copper is fantastic with canine companions! He grew up with a Shiba Inu and currently lives alongside a Border Collie and a Mountain Dog. He has a great history of living with other dogs, making him a wonderful candidate for a home with friendly canine siblings.

A 10/10 Out and About!

When it comes to getting out and about, Copper is a 10/10! His owner describes him as AMAZING in public places. He enjoys experiencing the world around him and is a wonderful companion for outings and adventures. His leash skills could use a little refresher, but that’s something his new family can work on with him.

The Best of Both Worlds! 💙

Copper has the ideal energy level for an Aussie. He’s happy to chill when you want to relax and ready to play when you’re in the mood for fun!

He LOVES tennis balls and playing catch, but he also has a sweet, cuddly side. When it’s time to settle in at home, Copper is more than happy to snuggle up beside his favorite human.

Could You Be Copper’s Person?

Copper is an AMAZING boy who simply needs a patient, compassionate home where he can feel secure and loved again. He would thrive in a household where his people are home more consistently and he can enjoy the companionship of both humans and, ideally, other friendly dogs throughout the day.

His circumstances have changed through no fault of his own, and he deserves a fresh start with a family who understands how much love, companionship, and reassurance he needs.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving, dog-friendly Aussie with a playful spirit and a heart full of cuddles, Copper might just be your perfect match! 💙

💜💜 Sweet Skylar 💜💜

Skylar is a loving and adorable Aussie blue heeler mix whose blue eyes will fill your heart and soul.

Skylar, 4 years old, was adopted18 months ago and her family adores her.
She has a sweet loving nature and loves to be around her people.

However, her owner has a high risk pregnancy and have very limited activity and she and her husband are very worried that even after the pregnancy Skylar is going to continue to need the attention and affection she is used to.

Skylar has very balanced indoor and outdoor behavior. Indoors Skyler can be very chill; he will play with toys or watch a movie with you or lie around on the floor with a high value chewy toy.

Outdoors Skyler’s energy is also equitable; she’s as fun and outgoing as you want her to be. She is ALWAYS ready to play and go on walks. She can go on leisurely leash walks and/or be a jogging buddy. activities. With other dogs, hiking, swimming, and exploring Skylar‘s energy could be limitless but she will still come when called and behave well in outdoor group settings.

Skylar knows a few tricks and commands and she’s an eager learner and very food motivated so she’ll be a fun dog to train to do more tricks and obedience work.

Skylar loves to come curl up with you on the couch and loves attention.

Skylar has been very tolerant with our young kids and when she hasn't liked something they're doing she'll lick their faces or move away to get them to stop.

Skyler’s very cuddly and snuggly; she has a funny habit where when she is hungry, she'll put her head on my lap while I'm eating to signal that she wants to eat too, so I'll fill up her bowl. 💜

Skylar has never demonstrated food aggression or resource guarding even with another dog in the home. She was really great with our foster puppies!

Skylar loves to roll around in the grass; crosses her front paws when she's upright and looks so cute and proper.

Skylar has always been friendly when we meet other dogs on walks and she did fantastic with our foster puppies.

It is with broken hearts we have decided it’s best to rehome Skylar so that she can regain the attention she’s used to having . Since we have had children in the past couple of years, it’s been a lot more challenging to take Skylar on the amount of walks that she deserves, so she may need a refresher course in leash training, but she will learn quickly be respectful and become a pleasure again to take on walks.

With her balanced energy, juxtaposed, ears, and beautiful light ice-blue eyes Scarlett will take no time to ruin your heart.

💛💙 ADOPTED! 💙💛

Adorable little Banjo was found abandoned in an East Dallas neighborhood last week. He was taken and scanned, but his microchip phone number is out of service 😢

HOWEVER the kind human who stopped and picked him up after seeing him running in the neighborhood or outside of it for a couple of weeks was able to get him into her car and then into her home safely!

Banjo is now a part of DASH Dog Rescue, he’s getting great food, lots of cuddling and has been into a local vet for everything he needs to be adoptable!

Banjo is really sweet and easy; he’s a pretty rare size for a standard male. He’s anywhere between 38 to 42 pounds which is pretty small for a male Aussie however it’s not as small as a Mini.

However, Banjo is a great size for everything you’d want to do with your Aussie, from hiking and long walks to lounging around with your heads on the pillow, Banjo is looking for forever to start as soon as we find the right home!

We haven’t had banjo around small children or cats, but we do know that he’s friendly and good-natured with other dogs. He’s got a perfect moderate activity level; when you want to get up and go and do something fun banjo will happily accompany you and stay by your side.

And if you are in a place where you just want to cool down and hang out with no set schedule Banjo is a great dog for that lifestyle, too!

We’re looking for a home that has Aussie or similar herding breed experience. It would be great to find banjo at home with another dog similar in size or activity level and similar type of breed; any medium size sized breed is fine (we are just not sure how playful or fun a teacup buddy would be 😂)

Ideally, a house with a fenced yard one that’s safe that he cannot escape from From and also where he won’t be left outside unattended at any time. We do not want the efforts that were made and the triumph of rescuing little Banjo from running around on the street to be taken for granted!

Banjo is a great dog who needs the chance to be loved, spoiled, get additional training and socialization in the long life ahead of him!

ADOPTION PENDING!

🍁COLBY IS A PUPPY, TOO! 🍁
Idk why the baby puppies who look like him have applications and he does not 😢😢😢

Colby is beautiful, so loving and a real cuddler; no housebreaking needed and he loves every dog in person he meets ! 💜

Meet Colby!
A Sweet, Gentle Aussie boy loving his suburban life!

Colby is a beautiful, sweet, small-standard male Australian Shepherd; he has a very easygoing
disposition and gentle demeanor.

Colby comes from a litter of 7 dogs whose owner, a breeder, passed away. When the family reached out DASH was happy to help!

Colby had a wonderful Adopter set up, but on the day of his adoption, his new owner learned that his work schedule was completely shifting, and we all agreed it wouldn’t be a good time to add a young dog to his home.

So we are looking again for an Aussie-experienced home for Colby. Ideally, if there are children, they would be over 10 years old and have Aussie Experience. The best home would have a male or female dog, who is also young and active, to play with and to have as a Canine Companion.

Colby has a sweet, playful, goofy personality that has really come out since his sisters were adopted! He loves playing with the other dog in his foster home and for an Aussie has a very moderate energy level.

Colby absolutely loves being outside, but usually when there’s another dog or a human that will play with him. Colby has just discovered fetching retrieving returning a tennis ball or similar and dropping it to be thrown again - but if he doesn’t get the ball first, then he’ll just run around and play with the dog who has it 😂

Colby has realized that life inside the house is pretty wonderful. These days, you’ll often find him lounging comfortably on the floor right beside the couch. He really likes being close to his people.

Colby is gentle, he is very affectionate and inquisitive
and has an easygoing nature.

🧒 Colby with Kids

Cole has been remarkably patient and gentle with his foster family’s 5- and 7-year-old boys, as well as their young cousins. He has handled all of the activity and attention beautifully. The children are all experienced with larger herding dogs.

🐶 Cole with Other Dogs

Colby would do very well with a sister - he had 4 that we know of 😂
Having another dog around seems to help Colby feel more secure. When he sees other dogs he wants to play and socialize. He clearly enjoys canine companionship and quickly showed his fun-loving side.

🏡 Colby in the Home

Colby enjoys relaxing near his people and will happily follow you from room to room. He doesn’t need to be the center of attention—he just wants to be part of the family.

Colby is such a rewarding boy to watch blossom. The shy pup who arrived is quickly becoming a sweet, goofy, playful companion who is learning that he can trust the people around him.

We think Colby is going to make a wonderful, loyal family member for the lucky people who give him the chance to continue coming out of his shell. ❤️🐾

🐦‍🔥 ADOPTED! 🐦‍🔥

🐦‍🔥PHOENIX 🐦‍🔥

Phoenix was born to an Aussie/Border Collie mix Aussie/Border Collie mom,
but they’ve developed their own unique looks and personalities!

🐦‍🔥 Phoenix 🐦‍🔥 is a little more reserved and takes a moment to warm up, but he has plenty of love to give once he’s comfortable.

Phoenix & Jasper are:
✨ Super smart and eager to please
✨ Friendly and ready to make new friends
✨ Crate-trained and almost completely housebroken!
✨ Young enough to learn to live with cats
✨ Full of puppy energy and ready for fun!

Phoenix and brother Diesel LOVE running around the backyard, romping, wrestling, and playing together. And with their likely water-loving heritage, don’t be surprised if they turn into your future swimming buddies! 💦

They’ve spent time in quarantine while completing their vaccinations, and now they’re READY to trade that waiting time for a forever family!

Aussies and Border Collies are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and love of having a job to do. These boys will thrive with families who can give them plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection.

❤️ Two adorable boys, two unique personalities, and a lifetime of love waiting to happen!

Could Jasper or Phoenix be the missing piece of your family?
