Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Mendota Heights, Minnesota

Hazel is a 6 year old dog who would love a new life in the country. She would like a home with lots of room to sniff around and spend her days outside. She loves to keep her head on a swivel in search of danger and makes a great watch dog. For this same reason, she can be wary of strangers and will bark if she is unsure of them. She is a super sweet and cautious dog who responds well to love and kindness and a regular schedule. Hazel is not a pack dog and doesn’t want to share her home with other dogs or pets. She is a well-trained house dog, and has free roam in the house.

Elsa, at a bit over a year, is a sweet, playful young dog who got off to a rough start, but seems to be ‘none the worse for wear’. She may be part Aussie or Australian Cattle dog. Typical dogs from the area she came from have multiple breeds and nearly all of them have some herding dog, some German Shepherd, some corgie, and remarkably, a dash of Chihuahua. What exactly Elsa is, only DNA will confirm. Whatever her genetics, she is sweet, playful, weighs 37# and appears to be housebroken. She gets along well with other dogs and puppies and loves people. She walks nicely on a leash. She has a moderate energy level. What more could you possibly want? Elsa came to PUP when her family could not afford to care for her. She lost a litter of puppies, likely because she was just not getting enough food to support herself, let alone a litter of pups. Sad as losing the puppies was, it likely saved her life. Now that she has a full food and water bowl and has been protected against fleas and ticks, she looks and feels good. She is having fun just being young and alive. There are three puppies in her foster home and she loves cuddling and playing with them, so she is getting her chance to sort of be a mommy. Here is an odd thing. Elsa has double rear dew claws. There are only 6 breeds of dog that have rear double dews, and all of them are big, like Great Pyrenees. Where those double dews are coming from is anyone’s guess. It is hard to imagine one of her parents being part GP! She has stunning 'marble' eyes that are part blue and part brown, a trait somewhat common in Aussies. Elsa is crated during the work day and over night. Although it is not her compete favorite place to be, she is fine with it and goes into her crate willingly. She does appreciate a treat as a reward. Elsa has been vet checked, is fully vaccinated including rabies, and de-wormed. The $375 adoption fee (check or cash) includes the cost of Elsa’s required spay/neuter in late July it is done by the PUP vet. We do place dogs outside the metro area but a plan for the required spay/neuter must be in place. We do not ship. If you are at least 21 years old and everyone in your household is on board with adopting a pooch, CALL 651-645-4370 between 7:00 am and 9:30 pm and we will return your call within 24 hours. If you elect to contact us via e-mail it may take several weeks for us to get back to you. Renters must provide proof that you are allowed to have a pooch. If you currently have a companion dog or cat please be prepared to provide a vet reference prior to adoption if requested.

Anna is a little rabble rouser who loves to play and it doesn’t seem to matter how big or how small her playmate its, she just wants in on the action. Most of the time she comes out on top. Anna appears to be about 8 weeks old and is a mixed breed that includes some herding dog, possibly a Kelpie or Aussie. Dogs from the area she comes from nearly always have some German Shepherd, a dash of husky, and a teaspoon of Chihuahua in their DNA. We have sent DNA in for testing on Anna’s brother but results aren’t back yet. We do know a lot about her, tho. Her coat was in rough shape when she arrived, but it is coming in nicely now. It is very shiny and her face will be unique and amazing. She has white toes and sweet brindle patches on her legs. She, as well as her siblings, is quite the cuddler and she loves to be held and fussed with by his foster. She is quite the explorer and all in on going new places to see what she can see. She will be a mid-sized dog when full grown. Anna and her siblings Olaf and Sven, along with their auntie Elsa, were surrendered to PUP because their owner was deeply impoverished and simply could not afford to feed them. They had all (including the people) missed a few meals before the pups were surrendered, but the pups were otherwise healthy. Anna loves people and gets along well with other dogs, but she is a hard player. She is accustomed to going outside and does much of her pottying outdoors, but is using newspapers reliably in the house. The early months are when puppy learns the social skills needed to be a skilled dog in dealing with other dogs and a good citizen in the human world. Adopters should be committed to getting puppy into lots of new and different human social situations, hearing vacuums, trucks, and rattling garbage cans, meeting people who are clapping, laughing, with hats, tools, bikes and skate boards. AND puppy needs many opportunities to meet and greet dogs of all shapes, sizes and dispositions. Just sharing a home with another dog is not as much doggie socializing as puppy needs. If good canine social skills are not learned and maintained during these early months, it will be very difficult to ever master them. Puppy play dates, trips to the pet store, puppy socialization classes and later, obedience classes are particularly important. If all this doggie time and involvement seems like a good idea, you are up for a puppy! As always, a tired dog is a good dog. Anna has been vet checked, dewormed and had one routine vaccination. She will need two additional vaccinations plus rabies vaccination at the adopter’s expense. The $375 adoption fee (check or cash) includes the cost of pup’s required spay/neuter at 6 months of age provided it is done by the PUP vet. We do place puppies outside the metro area but a plan for the required spay/neuter must be in place. We do not ship.

People often say I'm quite the character, and I have plenty of unique traits that make me who I am. For instance, I'm a total treat connoisseur and will do anything for a snack. I'm also a friendly, playful, and smart pup, but I don't know many dog friends yet, so I'll need some help with socialization. If you're looking for an energetic and fun companion, then look no further! My ideal home would be one where I can get lots of exercise and attention, especially if we have some treats along the way. Just one thing - I tend to gravitate towards people who are just as unique and playful as I am. If you're active and love being a snack connoisseur as much as I do, I'm sure we'll become the best of pals in no time! What better way to spend the day then an adventure followed by bingeing on snacks as we cuddle on the couch!!

If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to request an appointment to meet me. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and Minneapolis, MN areas twice a month. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual and we will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veteinarian ($35). Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! ##2087743##
