Flat Coated Retriever and Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Amelia is a stunning 2-year-old Flat Coat Retriever/Aussie mix who weighs 56 pounds. From her unbelievably soft coat to her gorgeous coloring, she is truly a beautiful girl inside and out!

But Amelia is more than just pretty — she is also a wonderful companion. She loves car rides, swimming, and FETCH! Give her a tennis ball and a Chuckit, and she is one happy girl. She will race after the ball, bring it right back, and sweetly place it in the grass by your feet, ready for the next throw. She even plays fair and lets my dog have the tennis ball sometimes too!

We discovered Amelia’s love for water when a ball landed in the pool, and she happily went after it. The first 6 feet of our pool is only about 10 inches deep, and she loves to stroll around in the water. I think Amelia would absolutely love rivers, the beach, or any outdoor adventure where she can splash and explore.

She is house trained, crate trained, and rides beautifully in the car. Amelia is also good with my dogs and has nice manners. She can jump up when she gets excited, so a home without very small children may be best, simply because she is a taller girl.

Having owned both Flat Coat mixes and Aussies, I really see the best of both breeds in Amelia — the personality, the intelligence, and the love of activity. She is not overly high energy, but she clearly enjoys being outdoors, so I think she would thrive in a home with a yard or with someone who enjoys trail walks and fresh air.

Amelia is a truly special dog and the kind of companion who will make every day brighter. She is beautiful, smart, fun, and ready to find the lucky family who will love her forever.
