Anatolian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Placerville, California

We have been fostering Shar now for a year and a couple of months (she was 14-months old then). I was hoping I would be able to convince her to be chicken friendly, but she loves how they taste too much, lol (I breed and sell chickens). Shar is amazing with property protection, she is great with our sheep, our horses, our cats, and our other dog. Shar loves her person, her family, her people. She is sensitive, empathic, and affectionate in a way that leads me to think she would also be a good fit as a companion pet. We have had a number of people inquire, but we are really looking for a home that would give her more affection. She is such a love and most people just want her to be a livestock guardian dog. My experience with her is that she is so much more than a livestock guardian dog. She is great outside, but her heart is driven more by being close to her person or family. We really want to make sure she goes to her forever home. It would mean the world to us. See YT video!!

Meet Sasha – A Loyal Heart in Search of a New Home Hello dear reader — My name is Sasha. I’m a gentle and well-mannered Anatolian Shepherd mix with a heart as warm as the sunbeam I love to nap in. My beloved human recently passed on, and now I’m looking for someone kind (maybe a bit like Mary Poppins?) who might open their home and heart to me. I’m a devoted companion — I’ll give a bark when someone new approaches, just to keep you safe, but once you tell me all is well, I’ll settle down and go right back to lounging peacefully. I’m fully up to date on my shots and in good health. I enjoy company, I am docile and sweet and  I’m also quite content having some quiet time alone if you need to step out. I eat at my own pace and appreciate a full water bowl nearby. Mostly, I’d love a gentle hand, a soft place to sleep, and someone who will check in on me now and then — just to say hello. If you’re looking for a loving, calm, and faithful friend, I’m right here, waiting — With gratitude and tail wags, Sasha (Please contact my caretakers to meet me and see if we might be just right for each other.)   Please reach out to: bill.brandt@asu.edu if you are interested in meeting Sasha.  All animals are up-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies if over 4 months old), microchipped, and spayed or neutered. All dogs have been been vaccinated with DHPP and Bordatella (kennel cough) and heartworm tested negative (if over 6 months).    All cats have been vaccinated with FVRCP and current on flea control.

Meet Echo – The Sweetest Deaf Australian Shepherd Puppy! Do you need a darling puppy to bring joy and love into your life? Echo might be just the one! This adorable 12-14 week-old, blue eyed, 18-pound Australian Shepherd is a stunning white and merle boy who looks like he’s purebred. Found dumped on the edge of town, Thankfully, a kind family has taken him in and are fostering him. Echo was likely abandoned because he’s deaf. But don’t let that stop you—he’s a quick learner and has already made incredible progress! He’s well on his way to being potty trained, crate trained, and leash trained. His foster family has even started training him with a vibration collar, and he responds beautifully to signals like flipping the porch light off and on to call him back when going outside to potty at night time. Echo is vaccinated, microchipped, and will be neutered and receive his rabies shot when he’s a little older. He’s looking for a family with breed experience and preferably familiarity with deaf dogs to help him thrive. If you’re interested in giving this special boy a forever home, please contact us to learn more about Echo. He’s sure to steal your heart and bring love and joy into your home!If you are interested in this dog or would like more information please send me an Adoption QuestionnaireThank youAdoption Fees For Dogs Start At $ 400- 500 Medium & Large Mixed Breed Adult Dogs: $400 plus Medium & Large Pure Breed Adult Dogs or Puppies: $450.00 plus Medium & Large Mixed Breed Puppies: $400 plus Small Mixed Breeds (Puppies & Adults): $450 plus Purebred & Designer Dogs (Puppies & Adults): $500 plus (Fees subject to change) Adopt Today!
