Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Cincinnati, Ohio

Meet Bear!

Bear is a big-hearted 5 year old, 60lb, Australian Shepherd mix who truly lives up to his name-he is the ultimate snuggle king and a total love bug!

His superpowers include being an absolute scholar (he is highly trainable and loves learning new tricks!), having great recall when called, and being a dream in the house. He is both potty trained and crate trained; once he's in his crate, he doesn't say a peep! He is also a fantastic travel companion who is great in the car.

Bear is still working on his leash training, but in true "smart dog" fashion, he is picking it up incredibly quickly! Because he is a medium-energy guy who loves a vigorous game of tug and can get a little rowdy when he's having fun, we recommend a home with older children who can keep up with his play style.

Some of his favorite things are watching TV (he gets especially excited when he sees other dogs on the screen!), treats of any kind, and finding the perfect spot to snuggle with his favorite humans.

If you're looking for a smart, sweet, and motivated companion who will balance playtime with professional-level snuggling, Bear might be your perfect match.

Bear is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. His adoption fee is $275.00.

To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt

All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.

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.
