Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Ranger - a 6 yo, 43 pound Australian Shepherd. Ranger is a sweet, active, dog who loves the dog parks and meeting both new people and new dogs. Ranger is always up for a hike in the woods, a swim in a lake or even a canoe ride. Ranger especially loves the water. He is well trained - comes when called, does not chew, and while crate trained, can be left free at home without causing any damage. Ranger does counter surf though, so food does need to be put away.

Ranger is in need of a new home since his owner has new and expanded work responsibilities that now limit her ability to give Ranger the attention and company he needs. He has not lived in a home with children or cats but his sweet and curious nature is a good sign that he could adjust with proper attention to the transition. He has demonstrated that he does need slow introductions to new people and children as he is a typical Aussie who can have stranger wariness in new environments.

The details:
Needs fence: No, and he is currently escaping his fence.
Good with dogs: Yes
Good with cats: Unknown
Good with kids: Good with kids/families who respect his need for slow introductions.

All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers. We need an approved application on file to set up a meeting with a dog you might be interested in. You can find our application at www.aussierescuemn.com. All dogs have an adoption fee of $400 plus MN sales tax. We pride ourselves on matches that are awesome for both the dog and your family. Aussie Rescue of MN is here for support, advice and as a safety net for our dogs for the rest of their lives.

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.
