Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Dallas, Texas

Meet sweet Luna! She is a 10-year-old, 42 lb., Australian Shepherd mix. She is sweet, shy, and smart. We adopted her as a puppy from a rescue out-of-state, and she's been a great family dog. Unfortunately, our son's allergies & eczema have become unmanageable, and we want everyone to have a good quality of life.

Luna is a relaxed dog, and prefers her space. She likes to be brushed, and will tell you when she wants cuddles or playtime! She can be picky about certain foods, but loves chicken when offered! She currently lives with 1 other dog, and 2 babies/small children. She is particular about canine friends, and we are unsure how she would do in a home with cats. Our toddler seems to stress her out, so we'd want to make a match with kids thoughtfully (she would likely do better with older children who better understand boundaries).

Luna received obedience training as a puppy, and is house trained. Her leash skills and sharing are works-in-progress. She is very smart, so she has good potential for training, and is very sweet. Luna deserves a loving home where everyone can have a good life! Is that yours? Apply today to adopt Luna!
