Australian Shepherd and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Aurora, Colorado

Bear is a handsome young male with a mostly red coat and white markings, from an Australian Shepherd–influenced litter. He was originally raised in a large pack environment on acreage with other dogs and cats, and is now transitioning into a foster home where he is continuing to learn and adjust to a more structured family setting.

He is social, sweet-natured, and has been handled regularly throughout his life. Bear has no known history of aggression and has been exposed to a busy, multi-dog environment, which has helped shape his adaptable and resilient temperament.

Now in foster care, Bear is continuing to build confidence and learn home life routines. He would do best in an active home that understands working or herding-type breeds and can provide structure, consistency, and daily engagement.

Bear is looking for a home that can help him continue to grow from a well-socialized ranch pup into a stable, well-rounded companion.
