Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Meet Bentley 🐾🤍
Bentley is an Australian Shepherd, he weighs 45lbs., and his estimated Birthday is 04/30/2021.

Bentley is a handsome boy with soulful eyes, a gentle heart, and the kind of quiet loyalty that makes Aussies so special. He’s the perfect size for an adventure buddy by day and couch companion by night.

This sweet boy may be a little reserved at first, but once he trusts you, Bentley forms deep bonds with his people and loves calm, meaningful connections. He’s the kind of dog who will happily stay close by your side, watching the world with you and soaking up your companionship.

Like many Aussies, Bentley is incredibly intelligent and thrives with structure, consistency, and clear guidance. He would flourish in a home that understands herding breeds and appreciates both their sensitive hearts and brilliant minds. Give him patience, routine, and leadership, and you’ll watch this beautiful boy blossom.

Bentley has done well with other dogs when given slow introductions and respectful boundaries. He’s not a wild, chaotic type of pup… he’s more of a “let’s enjoy the simple things together” kind of guy. A peaceful home where he can settle in and feel secure would be his dream come true.

After spending his entire life in one home, Bentley is learning how to navigate a brand-new chapter. Even through all the change, he’s holding onto hope that his perfect person is still out there waiting for him. 💫

If you know and love the loyal, sensitive nature of Australian Shepherds, Bentley may just be the missing piece your family has been looking for. 🐶❤️

*We coordinate with multiple transport services that operate weekly to Eastern states and bi-weekly or monthly to Western states from Texas to your state or a neighboring state. These are ground transports using third party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360, and receives updates from transport along the way. Facebook chats are another resource to stay informed on tracking dogs on transport. Please be able to use one of these available services if you wish to follow your adopted dog on transport.

*Our adoption fees are based on the vetting we put into each dog. Fees for puppies (under 12 months) are higher because they require more vetting than dogs over 1 year.

*Listed breed and age are based on a best guess estimation by rescue and veterinary staff; DNA tests are not included in adoption.

*Our adopters are eligible to receive 50% off training with Curbed Behaviors Dog Training for programs booked within 30 days of adoption, and 25% off programs booked within 60-90 days of adoption.

*All of our adopters are invited to join our “Alum Pupdates” Facebook group, to share their story and their adorable pup with fellow Sunnyside Street Dogs adopters!

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.
