Cattle Dog and Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Jett’s story began tucked away in a culvert under a kind woman’s driveway, where he was found hiding with his sister. Despite his rough start, Jett has nothing but love to give.

He is a sweet, affectionate boy who truly enjoys being around people. Jett loves his toys and can often be found happily entertaining himself or inviting you to join in the fun. He’s currently learning how to walk on a leash and is doing great—especially since he’s very treat-motivated and eager to learn.

Jett is the kind of puppy who wants to please and catches on quickly, making him a wonderful candidate for continued training. With consistency, love, and a little patience, he’s going to grow into an amazing companion.

If you’re looking for a loving, playful pup with a gentle heart and lots of potential, Jett may be your perfect match.

Foster & delivery Information — Please Read

This dog is fostered in Texas and is available to travel north on our scheduled trips, which run at least twice each month.

We encourage adopters to read profiles fully and reach out with any questions — we are always happy to help. Inquiries through the site are not always coming through. If you send an inquiry and we do not answer, we didn't get it. You can use our direct email at atasnp@gmail.com or text/call 469-241-0000.

Upcoming Travel:
Friday & Saturday — January 30th and 31st.
Please see pick-up locations below.

Important notes:
• We cannot do meet-and-greets. The trip is long and demanding, and it would not be safe or fair for a dog or puppy to travel north and then return to Texas.
• No deposits are accepted.
• All adoption fees are paid in person at pick-up.

Medical & Spay/Neuter Information:
Most puppies travel with two rounds of vaccines, and sometimes three. Occasionally, we may not have had a puppy long enough for a second round.

Puppies under 6–8 months of age are not spayed or neutered. Spaying or neutering is a required condition of adoption and must be completed by the puppy’s first birthday, at the adopter’s expense. Out-of-state surgery costs are not included in the adoption fee.

Breed Disclaimer:
Breed is our best estimate based on the puppy’s appearance and, when known, the mother’s appearance. Fathers are rarely known, and litters can have multiple fathers, meaning puppies may be half-siblings with different breed mixes.
