Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Vashon, Washington

Say hello to Uno.

A five-year-old mini Aussie who has sweetness in his eyes, quickness in his feet, and is always ready to be part of whatever you're doing.

Life with Uno has motion to it--in the best way.

A brisk walk with plenty of sniff-stops and joyful little check-ins.
A helpful shadow while you tidy, cook, or bounce between rooms.
A sudden burst of zoomies, then a dramatic flop at your feet.
And later, the soft landing, curling in close like he's clocking in for cuddle duty.

He's the kind of dog who holds many job duties...sometimes the job is "follow you everywhere," sometimes it's "carry the good mood," and sometimes it's simply "be touching you with one paw so he knows you're still there."

Uno doesn't just hang around ... he tunes in and keeps you in his orbit.

He has lived with other dogs, though we still think he'll shine brightest either as your one-and-only sidekick -- or adopted alongside his brother Zuko.

If you've got room in your life for an affectionate little whirlwind ... an outdoor buddy, a house helper, and a loyal shadow all in one ... Uno would love to meet you.

A Haiku for Uno

Morning feet patter
Busy heart, then quiet close
Home finds its rhythm
