Echo - Australian Shepherd Dog Available for Adoption in Sonoma, California

Echo is an absolutely beautiful 4-6 month old Australian Shepherd puppy with the sweetest, most affectionate personality. She is deaf, but that does not stop her from being loving, playful, bright, and full of potential.

Echo came to us after a kind person saw that she was being given away on Craigslist and feared she might be dumped. They stepped in to keep her safe, and now Echo is looking for the forever family she deserves.

She is very sweet, loves affection, and gets along well with other dogs. Like most Aussie puppies, Echo is smart, active, and eager to connect with her people. Because she is deaf, she will need a patient adopter who is willing to use hand signals, positive reinforcement, and consistency to help her learn and build confidence.

Echo will thrive in a home that understands she may experience the world a little differently, but that she is every bit as capable of becoming an amazing companion. She just needs someone willing to give her the love, structure, and guidance every puppy deserves.

Echo is a truly special girl with so much love to give. She is ready for a safe, happy life with a family who will see just how wonderful she is.
