Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Bindi is a four-year-old female Australian Shepherd who was brought to the shelter when her family dynamic changed. This high energy girl would make the perfect companion to an active person or family. She is good with submissive dogs and tends to herd cats, but she would never hurt them.
