Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Olivia is a beautiful 2 year old Aussie mix, about 45 pounds.

She was adopted and returned to the rescue as a high-energy house full of children was not a good match.

Olivia is high energy herself and has a big prey drive so a house without cats is what she needs.

Olivia would do well with another dog in the house to show her the ropes but it’s not essential. She is house-trained and super chill, sweet, sleeps quietly, naps on the couch and plays with her toys, and foster dog friend.

She has been spayed, is up to date on shots and is ready for a new family.
