Angel - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption

Meet Angel, a 9-month-old, 25lb Miniature Australian Shepherd with a smile you won't forget! This sweet, submissive girl sometimes pulls back her lips and shows her teeth in a little grin. It can catch you by surprise the first time you see it, but it's her way of smiling.

Angel was surrendered when her previous owner realized they couldn't give a young herding dog the exercise and room to move she needed. She'd love an active family who will make time for play, training, and daily exercise, with a secure physical fenced yard where she can safely run and play off leash.

Angel enjoys playing with toys, gets along well with other dogs, and has done well around cats. She's crate trained and making great progress with house training. A consistent potty routine will help her keep building on what she's learned. She gets nervous on car rides and will need a family who can be patient as she gets more comfortable traveling.

Angel would do best with older, dog-savvy children. Like many Aussies, she has natural herding instincts and may try to round up kids when they're running and playing. A family who understands herding dogs can help her channel that energy into games and training.

If you're looking for a sweet young dog who's ready to play, learn, and show you her silly grin, Angel is ready to find her furever family.

Current on Bordetella, Distemper, and Rabies
Dewormed

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.

Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal's temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.

While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.
