Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Oregon

Finn is a sweet, gentle senior boy who loves his humans. He has lived happily alongside cats and children his entire life, making him a wonderful companion for a patient household. He is fully house-trained, completely non-destructive, and handles being home alone all day well. He walks well on a leash and has been known to enjoy a good game of fetch. Like many intelligent herding breeds, Finn has a sensitive side and experiences some anxiety. He is reactive to sudden noises, neighborhood squirrels, and even dogs appearing on the television screen. As he has aged, he has also developed some sensitivities around personal grooming. While he used to tolerate grooming well at professional shops, he currently does not like being brushed or having his nails clipped at home. His ideal adopter will be someone who understands herding breed traits, can provide a calm environment, and is willing to utilize professional groomers or patient, positive-reinforcement techniques for spa days.

Max is an Aussieler (Miniature Australian Shepherd and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel). He was born 11/08/2025. He is a very well‑behaved dog. He uses the dog door, sleeps through the night, and stays home alone without destroying anything. He loves to fetch at home but does not like to do it at the park. He is still pulling a little bit when going for a walk on the leash, but is good off‑leash in designated areas. He is still a little shy with other people and dogs but always wants to say hello. We went to dog training, and he is following simple commands such as sit, down, come, etc. He is a very loyal dog and follows you all the time. He is also good with our five‑year‑old. Sometimes he grabs my leg with two paws or jumps on me to get attention. He also still has puppy energy, but can work on these with training. We have a busy schedule, and on top of that, we are expecting a new child. We really love him, but feel he deserves a family that can give him more time and attention.

Truffle is the kind of dog who won't be the loudest personality in the room, but she just might be the one who steals your heart the fastest. Gentle, thoughtful, and wonderfully easy to love, she has a quiet sweetness that makes every little moment with her feel special. Go watch Truffle Rae on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this tender-hearted little lady. https://youtu.be/JjH-UICAXzk Truffle is a rescue, so breed and age are simply our best guess but she is estimated to be around 2 years old, weighs a perfectly petite 38 pounds, and looks very much like an Australian Shepherd mix. Because she is fostered in a loving home, we know for certain that she is a soft-natured, loving girl with excellent house manners and a heart as sweet as her name. Truffle is currently thriving in a foster home where she lives with a Pit Bull pal she absolutely adores. The two enjoy running and playing together, and her favorite place to take breaks between games is her beloved sand pile in the yard. If there's a game of chase about to happen, chances are you'll find Truffle patiently waiting nearby, ready to join in. Her foster family describes her as an easy addition to their home, and it's easy to see why. She's house trained, crate trained, gentle with the children in the home, and always happy to accept a treat or two. She enjoys having a dog friend around but carries herself with such an easygoing nature that she settles comfortably into daily life. When meeting new people, Truffle prefers a polite introduction rather than an enthusiastic grand entrance. She takes a little time to warm up, but does so in the calmest, most endearing way. No drama, no panic, no fuss. Just a quiet hello, a few moments to take everything in, and before long she's happily relaxing nearby, content to be part of the moment. If you've been hoping to find a gentle companion with a soft heart, lovely manners, and a peaceful presence, we are sure Truffle is the girl who you've been looking for.

We got Savannah along with her brother around 5 weeks old from a bad situation. We gave them the vet care they needed and got them healthy. Of course we ended up falling in love with them and the hopes that we would be able to keep them, but we have realized that keeping siblings from the same litter is not ideal and they are the best dogs when separated. Savannah is about a year old now and is a total love. She can be a little shy at first and barks at new dogs, but warms up quickly and is very submissive. She really wants to make you happy and loves to learn. She is very food motivated and loves to play! She would do best with a secure fenced yard and something to keep her busy. She is house trained and crate trained. She loves her kennel and sleep in it at night as we haven't quite trusted her to roam freely unsupervised yet. She knows simple commands like sit, stay, down, kennel, potty, etc. She comes from a home with other dogs, cats, and children of different ages.

Oliver turned 4yo on the 4th of July. My college daughter and myself had to move into a much smaller home and now he has very little leg room. I work many hours and my daughter works and goes to school. We just can't give him the attention and space that he desperately needs and deserves. He has two kennels, one is outdoor/travel and the other is indoor and his "bed". He has a 30ft lead leash; he fetches and will go on for hours with inexhaustible energy. He also comes with his favorite toys, his food bin, etc.
