Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Newport, Washington

Been wanting an Aussie, but not sure you can handle the high energy of a younger dog? Riley may be a perfect match for you! He is a nice compact size at only 27 pounds. Riley’s house trained, very smart, super sweet, and fairly low maintenance. His ideal home would have a nice sized fenced yard since he loves to patrol. Ideally the fence would be solid because if he can see out he likes to harass passers-by. Riley is playful and friendly with other dogs, so a dog sibling would be great, but he really is content to spend his down time lounging on one end of the couch while his person binges Netflix or reads a book. As long as he gets some snuggles and occasional lap time, he is a happy boy. Riley has lived with a cat before, but is anxious around too much chaos, so he’s not a big fan of rowdy children. If you’re in the Port Angeles area, fill out an application and we’ll arrange a meet up! ​

If you are interested in adopting Riley, please fill out the application on our website at: https://www.westernaustralianshepherdrescue.com/adoption-application.html.

We schedule meet n greets after a completed application which includes a home visit and reference checks
