Trivia - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Lucedale, Mississippi

Get ready to fall in love with this precious girl. Trivia is a FANTASTIC puppy, she's not only adorable but she is sweet and spunky. She is true to her breed and wants to herd, but she's not quite sure how to go about it just yet.

Trivia has two "big sisters" that have been great role models for her. One is an Aussie mix that also likes to herd and the other is a laid back, gentle big puppy. Trivia is nippy with the other dogs, but she loves playing. If she goes to a home that has other dogs, they should be tolerant of a playful puppy.

Trivia is still very much a baby, she will need a patient family that is ready to spend time training her to help her become the best girl she can be.

Trivia is considered a "working breed" she is smart and will need an active family, one that is familiar with the breed is preferred.

She is looking for a home without small children as this breed is known to be "nippy".

Trivia is scheduled to be spayed soon. She will come will a minimum of 3 puppy shots, Bordetella, Rabies if she is adopted after she turns 3 months old. She is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention and she will be microchipped.

This is an Out Of Town listing, we transport near the city on this listing.

Our animals are currently residing in a foster home in South Mississippi where major animal overpopulation means less homes. We only transport them once adopted, in most instances, we can be available for a video call once an application has been approved. We list them on Petfinder in the locations where we travel.

WE PERSONALLY TRANSPORT OUR OWN adopted animals to meet their new families. We transport every 2-3 weeks.
We facilitate adoptions through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to VA, MD, PA, NJ, CT, VT, and NY. Our dogs travel in comfort with 24/7 care. We have been facilitating long distance adoptions since 2019.
