Australian Shepherd and Hound Dogs Available for Adoption in Douglas, Massachusetts

Meet Iris 💕
Iris is part of our Aussie litter from a few weeks ago (blue merle “Raco” crew) and also had a delayed debut. Born 1/14/26

She was one of the tiniest of the bunch—the runt—so we gave her a few extra weeks to grow, gain strength, and catch up 💪🐾

Now she’s healthy, thriving, and ready to find her forever home!

With an Australian Shepherd mom, Iris is just as beautiful as she is fun—playful, loving, and full of personality. She may still be a bit smaller than her siblings, but she’s got so much love to give.

Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.

The hound dog breed is a diverse group known for their incredible hunting abilities and keen sense of smell. These dogs are esteemed for their athleticism, endurance, and loyalty, making them excellent companions for active individuals and families alike.

Hounds come in various sizes and coat types, each with its unique characteristics, but they all share a remarkable intelligence and a friendly disposition.
