Australian Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

"Meet Olive — a happy little Aussie who lives life with her whole heart.

At around an year old, Olive is the perfect blend of exuberant energy and affectionate cuddle bug. She’ll happily zoom around the yard, bounce through a game of chase with her dog friends, and then settle right in next to you on the couch like she’s been yours forever.

Olive truly loves people. She greets new friends with a wagging tail, a wiggly body, and the occasional face kiss. She enjoys other dogs and would love a home with a playful canine companion, though she can also do well with an active family ready to include her in daily life.

She’s a smart girl (as many Aussies are!) and is already learning her manners. Olive does beautifully in a crate, is learning the art of the leash and enjoys walks, and is working on basics like sit. She’s eager to please and responds well to gentle guidance and positive reinforcement. She’s still mastering housetraining and will succeed in a home that can continue to provide safety and structure for her.

This sweet tri-color girl is the kind of dog who brings joy wherever she goes — a playful shadow during the day and a cozy snuggle buddy at night.

If you’re looking for a loving, loyal young dog to grow up alongside you, Olive may be your perfect match."

Olive is being fostered in Longmont, Colorado.

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. 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 mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
