koalathebear Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Update on cream Kelpie cross girl that we recently rescued and transported from Gundagai Pound. Here is her pound photo Being transported to her new carer She has now been adopted. Apparently she is extremely gentle with little kids and just a lovely little dog.

koalathebear Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Over the weekend, we visited this five year old Kelpie named Jess to see if she was suitable for rehoming. Her owner moved to a rental property and couldn't keep her. We persuaded him to surrender her to rescue instead of taking her to the pound and to keep her in his care until we could find a suitable carer for her. She is wonderful with small children, gets along with the elderly ACD cross and little puppy at her old home. She is also house-trained and travels well in a car. The weather was horrid today but we didn't want her left in her unfortunate situation longer than necessary so we picked her up and dropped her off with her new carer: Her new carer is very dog-savvy and is particularly good with Kelpies. Have a wonderful life, Jess! :) Edited September 17, 2013 by koalathebear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was such a sweet dog and the pound was so scary for her. So glad to see her out of her shell and in her home. Does Andrew have these pics yet? He'll be thrilled!

mixeduppup Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Bronte is coming back tomorrow. Her two week trial didn't pan out as she is just "too much of a puppy" for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koalathebear Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Sorry to hear that Hannah :'( Hopefully the right home will come along for Bronte soon. We picked up the BC puppies this morning. Andrew was concerned that Gundgaguy was a bit off-colour so we took him to the vet so that they could get parvo tests. Negative, thankfully. It might have been a slight overdose of wormer. Anyway, here are some photos of the cuties. I know they're BC crosses, but their paws are HUGE and they are sooooo fluffy and woolly I can't help wondering what the breed mix is. Gundaguy and Gundagal at the pound :'( We were just transporting so don't get to name. In ranger's vehicle when we came to pick them up At the vet, examining their negative parvo resulit Getting a bath from OH Getting dried by OH (I'm foster coordinator in the house - OH does all the hard work ;) Wet puppy Wet puppies They are adorable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koalathebear Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) They've been delivered to another carer who is driving to Sydney tomorrow Good luck sweet boys!

mixeduppup Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I mentioned to Andrew that they may be maremma cross BC as there have been a few popping up this year on farms. Bronte is going to stay here for a bit and do some intensive obedience training before being adopted out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 This is Nelly. She's my weekend visitor. She came from Harden Pound this morning as her time was up so the rescue i work for kindly offered her a place. She's the perfect mini kelpie, all 8kgs of her. She gets on well with everyone but she definitely sees guinea pigs as a delicacy. Poor Arnie is locked in the back room as Nelly cannot be trusted.

koalathebear Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Jess, the Kelpie surrendered by her owner earlier this week is doing well in foster care. We picked her up on Tuesday and delivered her to her foster carer. I have been getting regular updates "She slept well on her first night." "She is very well-behaved. Happy to go outside and be toileted without a leash. She is good with the cats and the big ginger cat rubs himself up against her. She is a little timid if you move too fast and she isn't expecting it. She is is excellent with food. Takes treats from your hand very nicely. She falls asleep at my feet when I'm sitting at the couch. " Then today: "Jess is doing it tough tonight. Settling in well. She loves running and had a huge run this afternoon".

Nelly is a dead ringer for her failed foster Jodie... Aaahhh - what the hell, I'm gonna email her the link to the pics... *grin* T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katdogs Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Ohhhh that's a mini mini Kelpie! Jodie is tiny at 15kg but otherwise is indeed a dead ringer for Nelly! Does Nelly like a tennis ball? Lookit at Nelly's white fuzz chin and Butterbone ears :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Nelly loves chasing the tennis ball! Butterbone? I was thinking about contacting the flyball people to see if anyone was looking for a height dog actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katdogs Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm not quite sure what Butterbone ears are either but a Kelpie judge said Jodie had them! How old is Nelly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
