Sapphire - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Phoenix, Arizona

I'm Sapphire, a striking 2-year-old blue merle Australian Shepherd with a heart of gold! At 50 pounds, I'm the perfect medium-sized companion - already housetrained and leash trained, so walks together will be a breeze. I'm a bit shy at first, but I warm up beautifully with patient people of all kinds, and I absolutely thrive with positive reinforcement and treats. I do great with other dogs and have medium energy, so I'd love a home with a yard where we can build trust together. Let's meet and see if we're a perfect match!
