Story
Cooper is a 7 month old Australian Shepherd. He unfortunately is too much for our cats and I have to choose who was in the house first. He has never been aggressive but wants to play and of course control/herd. He also does this with small dogs. He has done well with my kids and has never been an ankle nipper. He is very much still a puppy and needs consistent training as well as someone willing to give him appropriate exercise and job. He is great with people and tends to love meeting everyone he can. He has never been aggressive but does bark at other dogs on walks sometimes. I haven't been able to tell if the other dog matters or if it's just his excitement level that causes this.

Story
Cheesy is a young, smart Australian Shepherd x Pittie mix who is ready to shine in the right home. This clever boy would thrive with an experienced, active adopter who can continue his training and socialization. Cheesy's journey hasn't been easy. In the past, he was tied to a heavy chain, which made him wary of people and other dogs. But he's come a long way! Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s extremely potty trained, knows heel, and can settle into a down position automatically if you're chatting with friends. He loves his crate and will go in on his own, especially if his bed is in it.His confidence is growing every day, and he's learning how to trust, feel love, and enjoy attention. He's highly trainable and picks up tricks quickly, making him a joy to be around.He's affectionate, loves attention, and is eager to be part of a loving home that will continue helping him build confidence and enjoy life to the fullest. All showings happen off-site with his foster, who has helped him grow into the confident, playful pup he is today. With the right adopter, Cheesy is ready to be the smart, loyal, playful companion he was always meant to be.To make an appointment to meet Cheesy, please go to yoloshelter.org/adopt.January 21, 2026, 6:48 pm

I got Mayo 3 years ago and due to my job I haven’t been able to give Mayo the time and attention he deserves. Mayo is an energetic and playful dog. He is friendly and always wants to be pet. He gets along with other dogs but he does require some more training. I’m looking to get Mayo into home where he gets the time and attention he deserves.
