Story
If you’re looking for a built-in best buddy who’s always up for fun, exploration, and a little silliness, I might just be your guy. I’m mostly white with a splash of ginger on my ears, and full of that joyful puppy sparkle. I was born this past July and I’m an Aussie mix like my mom. Dad is a bit of a mystery, but I like to think that just adds to my charm. I’ve got soft fur, bright dark eyes, and a happy-go-lucky outlook on life. I love being on the move, checking out new places, and meeting new friends. I’m great with kids and other dogs, and I’m very well adjusted. I’m already crate trained and housetrained too, which means I’m off to a great start as a family companion. My ideal family would be active, enjoy getting out and doing things, and have a backyard where I can stretch my legs, play, and burn off some of my energy. At the end of the day, I’m also sweet and cuddly and happy to soak up love from my people. I’m looking for a person or family who wants a true companion and plans to make me part of their whole life, for my whole life. If you’re ready for laughter, adventure, and a loyal sidekick who thinks you’re the best thing ever, I’d love to meet you.

Story
Seven months old, about 50 pounds, and already a professional at stealing hearts. Betsy has a sweet, loving disposition and a gentle soul. She enjoys soaking in the good stuff once she feels comfortable, but like many young dogs, she can be a little nervous in new situations. With a bit of patience and reassurance, her confidence blooms and her affectionate personality really shines. Betsy is looking for a forever home that will give her time to settle in, show her the world at her pace, and celebrate all her small wins. In return, she offers devotion, soft eyes, and a whole lot of love. If you’re looking for a young dog who will bond deeply and thrive with kind guidance, Betsy might be your perfect match.

Big Bob is 3 1/2 years old and weighs approximately 55 pounds. He is a handsome playful floof who enjoys the company of other dogs, long walks and playing fetch.  He is well trained even knowing multiple commands.  He is not a fan of small loud children (as they need to be herded in Bob's opinion) so we recommend a home without kiddos.  He has not been formally cat tested.   Cattle dogs are active dogs and require active owners who are home more than not. A home with a fenced yard and another playful dog is ideal.  To meet Big Bob  in person visit our website for more details regarding our adoption process and complete the easy online no obligation adoption application at www.dsda.org/adopt.  * Adoption Fees: Puppies (12 months and under) - $325  Dogs (over 12 months) - $275  Qualifications for Adoption:  No dog is alike and each dog has different requirements based on breed, age, energy level and life experiences.

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bossy is a fun, energetic young pup who is very much still in her puppy phase but she is SO intelligent. She’s playful, active, and full of curiosity, always ready to explore the world around her. Bossy is very intelligent and already knows the command “go to home,” heading right to her crate when asked a great start for continued training. She has lived with both kids and adults and is comfortable being crated. Bossy would benefit from continued potty training and basic puppy manners, but she’s eager to learn and would do well with someone ready to guide a smart, active pup. If you’re looking for a bright, energetic puppy to grow with, Bossy might be the perfect match!
