Australian Shepherd and Border Collie Dogs Available for Adoption in South Bend, Indiana

Meet Briar! This sweet, adventurous pup loves everyone—she's dog, cat, kid, and people friendly. She is a 3 month old Aussie/border collie mix. She enjoys being on the go, whether it's walks or playing in the water. She's wonderful in the car. Briar is doing great on a leash and loves relaxing with a good bone after a day of fun.



She already knows four tricks—sit, lay down, roll over, and shake—and she's almost fully potty trained, doing really well with just a little consistency needed as she finishes learning. Briar would be a perfect match for an active, loving home!
