Australian Shepherd and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Fort Collins, Colorado

Who is that stunning boy trotting into the flowers? The one with the cute little nub tail and the fancy prance? Well, that’s Wilbur of course! Wilbur is an adorable pup who has stories to tell. He’ll tell you all about his dreams and aspirations to be the bestest boy ever (and just how hot it was in Texas before he came to Colorado)! Wilbur is a young pup, and true to his breeds (80% Australian Shepherd, 20% Mini American Shepherd), still has puppy energy to spare. Wilbur can be a bit jumpy (he just loves hugs so so much!!) and would do great in a home with older kiddos who can handle his excitement. He would do best in an experienced home where he can truly be himself, and learn just how humans work. To add to his quirky nature, Wilbur is deaf! He also doesn't have the greatest eyesight (if only doggy glasses were a thing!!), so his ideal home would be with a family that understands that he learns a bit differently from other pups. He has been quick to pick up on hand signals, and is incredibly smart. He already knows sit, down, shake, and place! Wilbur has never met a person or dog he didn't love, in fact he's a total rockstar with every canine companion he meets!! He would be the perfect companion to another playful pup. Energetic and eager to please, Wilbur is ready to romp around your home with loads of treats and toys beside him, but more importantly, ready to settle into a home that loves as much as he does.
