Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Allow us to introduce you to SPOT, the most adorable small 3 year old Aussie/Pittie mix who has been surrendered to our pound due to his owner's inability to care for him. SPOT is a petite guy, but while he may be small in stature, his heart is huge. SPOT loves everyone. He is good with cats, kids, and other dogs. Because he loves to play as much as he does (the world is his playground), if you have another dog that dog should love to enjoy romping and playing because SPOT is an in your face kind of playmate. His enthusiasm for life sometimes has him literally jumping for joy and that includes around kids. Of course, SPOT can be trained not to jump, but in the meantime, he might jump on little kids. SPOT has beautiful merle markings and one eye is marbled with blue which is caused by the same gene that creates the merle pattern that Aussies are famous for. If you are an active family, consider adding SPOT to your life because you won't be sorry you did.

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.
