Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

My name is Anna and I am a 8-year-old Australian Shepherd, I CAME WITH PAPERS.

I weigh 60 lbs currently. However, my ideal body weight is closer to 45lbs so if my forever family could help me reach that goal I would thank you. It may not be easy as I am adorable and I sit REALLY pretty for a snack or 3, 4, or 5, so please help me with self control. I've got a curious mind and lots of energy, so I'm always ready to check things out and stay on the move which should help.

Australian Shepherds are known for being smart, active, and eager to work, and I'm no exception. I'll need a home that can provide daily exercise, mental stimulation, and ongoing training to help me stay happy and balanced. Without enough to do, I'll definitely find my own "projects"!

I'm looking for a home that either has experience with herding breeds or is willing to do a little research and commit to training. With the right structure and outlets, I'll be an incredibly rewarding companion - loyal, fun, and always ready for the next adventure.

If you're looking for a gorgeous, high-energy dog who will keep you on your toes and be your constant sidekick, I might just be your girl!

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.
