Australian Cattle Dog puppies and dogs in Orange, Virginia

Rebel was surrendered to the shelter along with his sister when their owner could no longer care for them. Rebel's sister has been adopted and Rebel is hoping to find his FUREVER home! Rebel is a 7 month old Australian Cattle Dog/Labrador mix. He is shy and smart little boy. Rebel had always lived outside so he will need patience and time as he learns the joy of being an inside puppy and learning the household routines, like potty training!!!! Rebel is an active boy that just needs a little time to feel comfortable in new situations. Rebel has been neutered, microchipped and Heartworm tested. We have updated all vaccines including rabies. He has been given a dewormer and started on flea/tick prevention. To Apply for Adoption/Foster please copy and paste the following link: https://orangecountyva.gov/158/Animal-Shelter

Alec is a great dog. Friendly and happy. Great with other dogs and is quite submissive so needs to play with another dog that will not bully him and take advantage of his good nature. He loves belly rubs and would love a home of his own. He is completely vetted and negative for heartworm and all tick diseases.

Stella is a sweet and gentle 5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix with a heart as big as her soft, soulful eyes. Though she can be shy at first, once she gets to know you, Stella will shower you with love, cuddles, and plenty of sweet kisses! Stella came to us from a difficult dog-hoarding situation where she lived with over 15 other dogs. This high-stress environment left her needing time to feel safe and comfortable in new surroundings. But once she warms up, her affectionate and loyal nature truly shines. One of Stella’s favorite activities is running and playing in our Bark Park with her kennel mate, Thumper, and her buddy, Oswald. She seems to do well with other dogs but appreciates a patient introduction to let her trust and confidence grow. Stella is already spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention, so she’s ready to go to her forever home! It’s important to note that Stella has luxating patellas (loose kneecaps) in both her back legs, a condition that may require surgery as she gets older. Stella does have an anti-inflammatory that she takes when her knees "act up." This condition may also cause arthritis to set in earlier in life. Despite this, she remains active, happy, and full of life! If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will reward your patience with endless love and devotion, Stella could be the perfect match. Come meet her today—your new best friend is waiting!

Clyde is a 4-month-old Cattle Dog mix who’s as sweet, cute, and energetic as they come! This outgoing little pup has stolen everyone’s heart with his playful personality and loving nature. Clyde gets along with everyone he meets—whether they have two legs or four—and would make an amazing addition to any family. He’s the perfect balance of fun and affectionate, always ready for an adventure or a cuddle session. Clyde is fully vaccinated and protected with monthly flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. He’s just waiting for his neuter surgery, and then he’ll be all set to join his forever family! If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic pup to bring love and joy into your home, Clyde might just be your perfect match.

At Green Dogs Unleashed (GDU), we are dedicated to ensuring the successful placement of our dogs in loving, permanent homes. Over the years, we have seen an increasing number of returns due to behavioral issues that could have been prevented with the right support. A significant percentage of these returns involve out-of-area clients or those who have not completed training with GDU. To address this, positive reinforcement training with Green Dogs Unleashed is required as a condition for all adoptions. Preference for this dog will be given to adopters who commit to signing up for and completing our six-week Canine 101 training class in person at our headquarters in Troy, VA. Secondary consideration will be given to a limited number of out-of-area adopters who agree to complete one private lesson with GDU, either in person or virtually, and attend a pre-approved positive reinforcement training class in their area. At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption. But please know that we may be working on multiple applications already, and any one of them could be approved at any time. Please READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION and complete an adoption application, if you are interested in any of our animals. Application at www.greendogsunleashed.org If you send an inquiry to ask if the dog is still available, or just tell us you are interested, your inquiry will not be answered. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. We can do NOTHING without that. No, we cannot tell you if he would be a match for your family without seeing an application. PLEASE KEEP READING for info. */*/* PLEASE NOTE: The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be an email response, which will have instructions on how to proceed. Please check your inbox AND spam folders for the next 48 hours, for this email. We will not begin processing an application without the information requested in that email. */*/* We are happy to consider applicants from out of state on most dogs. Please read the description to see if this dog is an exception. If the applicant is approved to adopt, they MUST be willing to come to our location in Troy, VA, for a meet and greet. If all parties agree that the pup and family are a good fit, they would take the pup home at that time. For more information about our mission and for an APPLICATION for adoption, please go to www.greendogsunleashed.com. GDU does ask a minimum adoption fee of $400.00. This does not even come close to covering all expenses created by animals while in rescue. We are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum fee includes DAPP, rabies if age appropriate,, heartworm test and preventative, if age appropriate, and flea and tick treatment, as well as neutering or spaying, if the animal is medically sound to undergo surgery. In an attempt to avoid tummy upset from a sudden change of food, the foster family may include a small, transitional bag of the food the dog/puppy has been eating. And if the dog/puppy has grown attached to a special item (like a toy or blanket), they may send that along, as well. */*/* Young puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccines, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Adopters may be required to provide additional puppy boosters and at 16 weeks of age, a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing and monthly heartworm preventative are REQUIRED, and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter. *****Due to the sheer number of animals and applications in our program, coupled with a limited number of volunteers, applicants MUST have patience as we process applications.   If you do not hear back from us, the animal may have been adopted.   We strive to let people know but sadly cannot offer reasons for denial beyond that.  Any harassment of our volunteers will go unanswered and we will simply block you.   Our volunteers spend their time working hard to ensure the very best for each animal.   Please remember the animal, not the applicant, is our client.*****  ##2265214##

Confetti is a 2-month-old Australian Cattle Dog puppy bursting with energy, intelligence, and personality. This little firecracker is already making great strides with crate introductions and potty place associations, showing off her smarts and eagerness to learn. True to her breed, Confetti has strong Cattle Dog tendencies—she’s high-energy, playful, and a natural at herding games. She loves to play chase, enjoys frozen Kongs, and thrives on any kind of human interaction. She’s a velcro dog who loves staying close to her people and is always ready to cuddle up or join in the fun. Confetti is slightly more independent than her brother but doesn’t shy away from letting him know when he’s out of line. She’s already showing promise with house training, often trying to hold it until she can go outside. While she’s still learning to settle when left alone, she’s improving quickly as she grows and gains confidence. This rambunctious and affectionate pup is ready to grow into the perfect companion for an active family who can provide the mental and physical stimulation she craves. Confetti will be spayed at the end of the month, but we’re accepting applications now for her forever home. If you’re looking for a smart, playful, and loyal pup to share your life with, Confetti is ready to fill your days with love.
