Here's what the humans have to say about me:
🧠 Meet Sheldon — The Brains, the Bloopers, and the Big Heart 💙
Bazinga! Sheldon’s here to prove that genius comes in fluffy form. This 6-month-old Standard Aussie is a perfect blend of smart, sweet, and slightly goofy — the kind of guy who’ll melt your heart and make you laugh every day.
He’s a double merle with a good amount of vision and hearing, and honestly? He doesn’t let anything slow him down. Sheldon knows his name, loves kids, dogs, and even cats — basically, he’s the social butterfly of the science department. 🦋
He’s crate-trained, potty-trained, and even puppy-pad trained for those “oops, still a baby!” moments. He’s picked up routines quickly and is already showing off his clever side — he’s basically the Einstein of treat time.
When he’s not chasing toys or showing off his big personality, Sheldon’s all about snuggles. He loves being carried like a baby (don’t tell him he’s getting big), but also walks around like “Mr. Macho” with serious main-character energy. 💪
If you’re looking for a pup who’s equal parts brains, heart, and hilarity — Sheldon’s your guy.
Double Merle Aussies are the result of a genetic defect from improper breeding of 2 Merle colored Aussies (solid colored aussies may also carry the merle gene, so genetic testing BEFORE breeding is crucial).
This creates a genetic cocktail of potential issues with hearing, vision, and neurological. While they are easily trained using hand signals, voice commands, or even vibrating colors, not all defects necessarily present themselves early on. Committing to these dogs now means committing to consistent checkups around the potential defects and care should something present itself in the future.

After being approved by a team member, you'll be able to schedule a meet and greet with the pup that best matches your needs.
All of our pets are in private foster homes and many times the meeting will happen in a safe public location.
All animals are available to begin their home trials once the meeting has concluded and the rescue agrees to allow the pet to move forward to this stage.
