Tom Collins - German Shepherd Dog and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Woolwich, Maine

Is there anything nicer in the summer than having a cocktail in the backyard? Silly reader, we're not talking about a drink, we're talking about the cocktail litter! These pups came into rescue when their owners had a (totally preventable with spay/neuter) "oops" litter. Mom is an Australian Shepherd and dad is a GSD. These pups will likely be between 50-70 lbs when full grown. Interested adopters should have a schedule that can accommodate the needs of a puppy and be prepared for all things puppy training- crate, leash, potty, and basic commands. These pups are currently about 9 weeks old and will be coming to Maine in mid-June. If interested in adopting, the first step is always to fill out an application on our website. When submitting an app, we ask that you think about whether or not you are prepared to meet the needs of a puppy before applying.

If you think you might be interested in adopting Tom Collins or just want to get pre-approved to adopt through us, please fill out an application on our website. Approvals are valid for one year and you will not have the waiting period of an application if you see a dog that you like! Approved adopters are placed on our email list for each transport and receive our Google slides that we send to all pre-approved adopters before posting on Petfinder and our social media and are eligible to attend our meet and greet events.
