Northwest Minnesota Aussie Rescue

Northwest Minnesota Aussie Rescue is a Non-profit 501c3 rescue specializing in finding loving homes for Australian Shepherds in need.
(1)

NW-MN Aussie Rescue is a 501c3 Non-Profit Rescue that takes in Australian Shepherds that need a new home for whatever reason. We also ensure the aussies are up to date on vaccinations, spay/neuter, micro-chipping and any other health issue they may have resolved. NW-MN Aussie Rescue does not pay for any of the Australian Shepherds that come through the rescue. We ensure the dog will not come into

harms way and will have a loving warm home in return. A surrender form must be filled out prior to relinquishment of an aussie. Northwest Minnesota Aussie Rescue also works in conjunction with Aussie Rescue of Minnesota and will often work together in finding the right home. All homes will be screened prior to placement of an aussie. An adoption application must be filled out by the potential adopters. We strive to ensure the best possible fit for an aussie into a family, therefore, all aussies are screened carefully upon arrival at NW-MN Aussie Rescue. Should NW-MN Aussie Rescue not have what a potential family wants, often Aussie Rescue of Minnesota (ARM) will be contacted for any prospective aussies that may reside in Elk River, MN where Aussie Rescue of Minnesota (ARM) is based.

Love Skittles candy? We found someone just as sweet — meet Lazy H. Skittles — a friendly mini Aussie who at five years old, is officially retiring from motherhood after lovingly raising her final litter. ❤️❤️❤️

Now that her puppies have found their forever homes, it’s Skittles turn to be spoiled and cherished.

❤️ Skittles is searching for a calm, adult-only home—and has a happy personality once she feels safe. Because of her sensitive nature, Skittles will need a securely fenced yard where she can explore at her own pace. She would also thrive in a home with other confident, friendly dogs who can help show her the ropes and teach her how wonderful “the good life” can be.

Mini Australian Shepherd
Female, spayed
5 Years, 5 Months
Color - Black Tri
Adult-Only Home Preferred
Fence - Mandatory secure

Happy personality
Size - Mini (20-35lbs)

Skittles would love to spend the summer with you in the yard as you water sweet-smelling flowers or plant new trees! ❤️ The good life is calling!!! ❤️🐝🌼

Hi! My name is Capp, and I’m a hopeful, housetrained mini Aussie born in September 2024. The world is a new experience for me, and I am doing awesome in foster care. Though shy — I am resilient, and have high hopes for enjoying the good life! ❤️

New sights, loud noises, and busy places can be scary, so I sometimes choose the safest option I know—running home and finding quiet. I’m learning, but even a walk around the block can be scary. I want to be happy, and really enjoy my life — so I’m taking big steps to be brave and step out to meet you! ❤️❤️❤️

I am smart — with soft red, plush fur. And I’d love to boost my confidence with a compassionate dog sibling or pack — and blossom into a glorious red companion who appreciates that love is patient and kind! ❤️😊💕

Australian Shepherd
Female, spayed
2 Years, 9 Months
Fence - Mandatory secure
Size - Mini 20 lbs.

❤️ I’m looking for:
· A comforting home where I can relax and be me
· Someone to pet me when I ask, and be patient if I’m not ready to sit on your lap
· A fully fenced yard so I can safely explore at my own pace
· A patient adopter who understands shy puppies bloom slowly — and love conquers all! ❤️

With time, love, and gentle reassurance, I promise to show you my quiet loyalty and sweet heart. ❤️💕🌼

Happy Foster Friday! Let’s share our love, and do great things together! ❤️ All dogs deserve a chance to find a loving forever home ❤️❤️❤️ … and we need your help!

We are blessed to have beautiful dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities who would burst into bloom in foster care! These deserving dogs would love to hang out with you ❤️🐶❤️ … to experience hope for the good life!

😊❤️💕 Do you have a lonely dog at home, or a dog you have rescued who is ready to be a mentor and friend? All working/herding dogs need a career to feel fulfilled. Sometimes a shy dog just wants the comfort of a compassionate confident dog. Mentoring another dog provides companionship, enrichment and a very important career for resident dogs who want to share their canine point-of-view and make a big difference in another soul’s life!

Please reach out today to begin fostering a deserving Aussie through our rescue — with our full support and foster community. We supply everything you need (crate, food, leash, meds, etc.) — you supply the pups with LOVE and safety in your home. ❤️

❤️ Spread love and joy this summer by fostering with us! Apply at the link below:
