Kitty, adorable 1 year old purebred Mini/Toy Aussie - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Oro Valley, Arizona

Kitty is a big lover in a tiny package!

She came from a breeder release in the South, is very sweet with kids and other dogs and a lot of fun with a big personality. She has an adorable wiggle-wag-walk when she gets excited, very characteristic of Australian Shepherds! She will need some training but is an adaptable, happy gal with no known health issues or temperament issues. She would love to find the right forever home this summer!

Kitty is 16 pounds and 12 months old as of June 1, 2026.

She is fully crate-trained. We believe she is house-trained as well. We do not know how she reacts to cats.

All of our doggies are dewormed, up-to-date on vaccines and microchipped. We strongly prefer to adopt in the AZ/CA area due to current high transport costs. While we understand summer is a busy time for travel, please do not apply unless you are able to adopt within 7-10 days as we wish to place our dogs into loving homes as quickly as possible.

Kitty's adoption fee is $750*.

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.
