Australian Shepherd and Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption

🐾 Leza

Leza is a 3-year-old Idaho Shag with a soft heart and an even softer coat (now that she’s had a fresh shave and spa day!).

Leza and her brother Rastus are coming into rescue through no fault of their own. Their owner is transitioning into a senior living facility, and while this change is hard on everyone involved, it’s our promise to help these two find the stability and love they deserve.

Leza has lived in a home environment and is used to being part of the family. She is spayed, good with cats, and friendly with adults. We’re still learning about her comfort level with children. She’s not 100% house trained, so her new family should be prepared to offer gentle guidance and consistency as she adjusts.

Leza has never been kenneled before, so crate training will likely need to be introduced slowly and positively. Recently, she and her brother have been spending more time outdoors and, like many smart Shags left to their own devices, they’ve found a little mischief. With structure, exercise, and engagement, Leza is expected to thrive.

💛 Bonded Pair Note:
Leza and Rastus appear to be closely bonded. We would absolutely love to see them adopted together and will try our hardest to make that happen. However, we will consider separate homes if it means each dog receives the best possible long-term fit.

If you’re looking for a loyal, shaggy companion who just needs a fresh start and a committed family, Leza may be your girl.
