Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult
Athens, AL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Jäger is very very high energy and will thrive in an environment where he can run and play ball all day, bonus if he’d have a job on a farm. He’s 4 years old, he’ll be 5 on May 4th, I can’t quite remember. He gets along well with female dogs but not male dogs, he also gets along with two of our cats but not the third for some reason. He knows basic commands (sit, lay down, stay, shake, outside, kennel). While he doesn’t pay our 6 month old baby much attention, but when he gets excited it tends to be a bit of a hazard for the little one. Overall, Jäger is super sweet and obedient when time and effort is put in.

Story
Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Huntsville, AL Meet Vigo! He is an 7 year old Australian Shepherd and weighs 57 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, and on heartworm prevention. Vigo is good around older children! No younger children, farm animals, cats, or dogs, due to his reactivity! Vigo bit the owner’s 8 month old child. Their nanny was watching her and they told them to not let her get close to Vigo. However, she crawled onto his bed while he was laying down and he bit her on the face. The owner is surrendering him because of his aggression towards their baby. He needs to go ASAP! If you think you can provide a great home for Vigo, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions. This fee will be donated to Australian Shepherds Furever for their assistance in placing Vigo. Owner’s Contact Information: Audrey at audreycsmith256@gmail.com

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Natasha, a breathtaking Merle Aussie mix whose gentle spirit shines brighter every single day. 💛 When Natasha first arrived, she was heartbreakingly thin, her body showing the toll of many litters and far too little care. But even then—beneath the fear and uncertainty—there was a softness in her eyes, a quiet hope that someone might finally choose her. Natasha is still learning that the world can be kind. She can be shy when meeting new people, but with patience, a calm voice, and a little time, she blossoms into the sweetest, most tender-hearted girl. Once she trusts you, she leans in softly, as if saying “thank you” with her whole being. One thing that has helped Natasha immensely is the companionship of another dog. She LOVES having a canine friend by her side—someone to show her the ropes, help her feel safe, and remind her that joy is allowed. Natasha is coming out of her shell more each day, but she’ll need a secure, fenced yard in her forever home as she continues to build confidence and rediscover the world at her own pace. If you’re looking for a dog whose gratitude and love run deep… a dog who will bond with you in the most meaningful, heart-tugging way… a dog who just needs a chance to finally be someone’s beloved girl… Natasha is waiting. She has survived so much—now she just needs someone to show her what it means to truly live. 🩵

Dom

Australian Shepherd Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Young
Meridianville, AL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Meet Dom. He’s a good soul with a full-throttle engine. The type of dog who doesn’t tiptoe into a room. He arrives. Not mean, not aggressive. Just wired for motion, built to run like he’s late for something important. I’m fostering him right now. He tries his best to fit in, but my other animals are small, and Dom lives on a different frequency. He’s big feelings, big speed, big heart. No malice. Just momentum. He deserves a home where that energy isn’t a problem to work around, but a feature someone actually appreciates. Someone who sees a dog like this and thinks, “Yeah, let’s go.” Because once you meet him, you understand. Dom isn’t difficult. He’s just looking for a world that can keep up.
