Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Oregon

From his foster: “Ralphie – Your Adventure Co-Star1 year old | 48 lbs | Australian Shepherd MixRalphie is the kind of dog who forms deep bonds and wants to truly be part of your life. He’s intelligent, expressive, and athletic — a classic working-breed mix who thrives when he has structure, purpose, and connection.At one year old, and still figuring out the world, he can be sensitive in new situations and has shown some fear-based reactivity in the past. The good news? With structure and training, he has been making wonderful progress and building confidence every single day. He is looking for experienced, steady leadership to help him continue that upward trajectory.He would do best in:• An adult-only home (no young children)• An active household that enjoys walks, hikes, and enrichment• A secure yard (he’s athletic and curious!)• A home with breed experience and commitment to continued training    ##2622392##

Newman and Dottie have been raised by me since they were puppies at 10 and 8 weeks. Newman will be 3 years old on June 10th and Dottie is 6 months younger than he is. They are really well behaved inside and outside and have been taught basic obedience. Both dogs can be a bit reactive to some other dogs but they get along well with some dogs and they have good friends that they have played with since they were puppies. They have gone to Opportunity Barks in Pleasant Hill for daycare and boarding and love it there. Newman and Dottie are a bonded pair and I'd like to see them be adopted by the same folks. They are pretty low maintenance dogs and have had the best care to date. They are healthy and happy dogs! I am retired and have been with them almost constantly for 3 years. I'm facing the tough decision to rehome them but I feel it's best for them due to the circumstances - my health is a concern and I'm relocating to AZ.

She’s on the smaller side, making her easy to walk, easy to travel with, and easy to scoop into the car for spontaneous outings. Compact, manageable, and full of love Penny is the perfect size for both everyday adventures and cozy nights in. Penny is a huge lap dog in the best way possible.

A calm home where all the love and attention is just for her will allow her to relax, build confidence, and truly blossom into the very best version of herself.
