We adopted Rudy shortly after putting our almost 17 yr old lab shepherd to sleep. Rudy (orig named Zeus, then Auggie)...came from the J'ville, FL area, by MDS member, Aussie6pk! Rudy was found tied to a fence at an elementary school.
A6pk said, "Ya know, these aussies are like potato chips, ya can't have just one". I thought, "Right, you crazy lady". Four more dogs, later....we often tell Rudy, if he wasn't such a great guy, no others would be here.
Rudy is a happpppppy boy, always ready to go. He and Lacey are the "sport dogs".
He hates fireworks and loud noises.

Chloe was a former backyard breeder, who was surrendered to the shelter in J'ville, FL, after all three of her pups died. Her own life hung by a thread, at a scant 23 lb. We agreed to foster her. She had never eaten from a bowl, been in a home, and was afraid of us and even her two brothers. She made it through dangerous heartworm treatment, then spay, and she was ours. The following year she was Miss Sept on the nat'l aussie recue calendar (at 47 lb). She is a living testament to the power of patience, love, good food and vet care!

Birthday: February 21, 2003
Breed: Australian Shepherd
Size: Giant
Nickname: Jackpot ~ Kodibear ~ Lummox ~ Puppyhead
From: private rescue thru www.aussierescue.org
Home Date: September 23, 2004
Jackpot was surrendered to me on the turnpike, in between hurricanes Frances & Jean. He was "too much dog" for his third owner. Prior to that he had been raised by a lovely young girl, whose stepfather said he shed too much & took him back to the breeder (after she had him for over a year). We have been in touch! I had five prospective homes lined up for this 80lb puppy. One by one they fell thru. I thought, God means Jack to stay here. High contrast colors, with lots of silly expressions, Jack models. His first job was for the BACK of a bus, for "Real Men Neuter Their Dogs" campaign. He is in training (mostly learning to control his impulse to do what he wants, WHEN he wants)! We are planning our CGC test for the fall, so he can do AAT (animal assisted therapy) like his brother, Mack.

Your dog could be "discovered"! ...updated 5 hours ago | 29 views | 0 barks

We have been so busy with our new brrrother. Yup come over and check out Barkley. He's 1 and half and Mom found him on some list. He fit right in and we almost look like twins, Manna. I think it's cool having a Brooo, Gracie.
He needed some cleaning up and a lot of vetting; he even needs to be neutered whatever that is.... Mom says he'll only be gone one day so it can't be that bad. One day Barkley jumped up on Mannas back and was moving up and down, so I (Gracie) jumped on Barkley's back and we were all doing the same thing. What ever we were doing really made mom laugh out loud. She said we looked like the elephants in the circus. Well we all gotta go = it's Saturday and we get to go shopping at the dog store. We don't have enough boy stuff so off we go. The gang, Manna, Amazing Grace and Barkley

Hiya Tina and Aussies, Dakota here. Happy sausage pizza day. Hey, I can see the pizzaria from here, does that make me Italian? Not only does my pizza have sausage, it's got PUPPERONI!
Do they make gator baby pizzas?

Hi Aus-siebelts! First of all: Happy egg day! (Whatever that is..) Mama got this terrible sinus infection this week, and even her vodka with it's healing properties didn't help! So she's sorry she hasn't barked in a few days..She's feeling much better now, she went to the doctor. We have been especially BAD here is a picture of Sophie in the yard playing with one of mama's r2d2 collectibles. She snuck it outside with her and destroyed it.. 
And here is a picture of us running thru the screen door. I cleverly figured out how to slide it open, and thats how Sophie was able to help herself to an r2d2!!Look at how fast as flames I am running. My ears are blowin' back! 
Anyhow, Have a good egg day
