Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Rifle, Colorado

Howdy, my name is Cowboy. I'm still a new resident at the shelter so staff is still getting to know my personality. I came in with my brother Rip so I can possibly go home with a very like minded dog. If I sound like the perfect match for you come give me a visit at the shelter or give them a call to learn some more about me! :)

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.
