When I ran sled dogs (very hard on livestock if they get loose) I went around to the neighbors and introduced myself and asked if they saw a dog they thought was mine in the stock please come get me. If I couldn't call them in I'd shoot them myself. I was on the Army high power team at the time and I knew my dogs wouldn't suffer. It always irritates me when folks don't take care of dogs.
You might consider geese, pea fowl, or guinea fowl. If I was going for a stock dog I would go for a traditional one like Akbash or Anatolian. They have rescue organizations for most of those and are willing to place a dog who will do their job (or did last time I checked)
