Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Aurora, Illinois

Meet Darling Derek a 5-year-old purebred Australian Shepherd with the sweetest soul and the most striking eyes. One of Derek’s eyes is beautifully half blue, giving him an extra little touch of Aussie charm that makes him impossible to forget.

Derek was unfortunately found as a stray, and after completing his required stray hold, no one came to claim him. Now this handsome boy is ready to start his next chapter with a family who will love him forever.

He is already housebroken, knows his basic commands, and has wonderful manners. Derek is truly “move-in ready” the kind of dog who settles in quickly and makes himself right at home. Whether you’re looking for a loyal adventure buddy or a best friend to lounge on the couch with, Derek is happy just being by your side.

He’s sweet, gentle, and incredibly deserving of a fresh start after being overlooked. We truly cannot believe nobody came looking for this amazing boy but we know his perfect family is out there now.

Derek is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to go home.

- microchip
