Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Oregon

Meet Rapscallion, a stunning Australian Shepherd mix who is the perfect blend of a clever athlete and an affectionate lap dog! 🐾🤠 Like many brilliant Aussies, he is a sensitive, watchful boy who can be nervous during first impressions and transitions, meaning he's looking for a patient, understanding home that will let him bond at his own pace. Once he knows he is safe, his cautious shell completely melts away to reveal a certified lover boy who lives for fetch, walks like an absolute dream on leash, and will literally leap right into your lap for cuddles the moment you sit down. 🎾💕 He is incredibly patient and social with other dogs in playgroups, and he has earned legendary status among shelter staff for being spectacularly house-trained. 🏡✨ With a slow-and-steady approach and plenty of tasty treats, Rapscallion is ready to transition from a thoughtful observer to your most loyal, affectionate, and fiercely devoted best friend! 🎉❤️ Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 31 Age: 2yrs 8mths 1wks

Kopi is very friendly, gets along with cat at home and chickens. He loves people and smaller dogs to play with. He is experienced staying at a pet hotel. He needs someone that has time to spend with him, walk him, and play with him, as I travel a lot for work. He is about a year and a half old. Both parents were Australian Shepherds.

Meet Roxanne Rodeo Girl! The tiny cowgirl with movie-star looks, a heart of gold, and a serious obsession with tennis balls. At around a year old and just 25 pounds, Roxanne is the perfect "take-her-everywhere" size. Big enough for adventures, small enough to scoop up for cuddles. We believe she may be an Australian Shepherd mix, but as with all rescue dogs, that's simply our best guess. Let's start with the obvious: this girl is absolutely stunning. Roxanne looks like she walked straight out of a storybook. Her silky red-and-white coat is unbelievably soft, her fluffy ears seem to have a personality of their own, and her bright amber eyes are the kind that make people stop mid-sentence and say, "Wow, she's beautiful." She's dainty, elegant, and adorable all at the same time. Watch Roxanne's video, then come back to read more about her! https://youtu.be/kiy5NAANkzQ?si=IlZ03vrYt7zZMYbR But somehow her personality is even better than her looks. Roxanne is one of those dogs who forms incredibly special bonds with her people. When she's unsure about something new, she'll glance back at her person for reassurance, almost like she's asking, "We've got this, right?" Once she knows she's safe, her sweet and affectionate side comes pouring out. Baby talk is basically her love language. Give her a minute to warm up and she'll be flashing her goofy little smile, asking for cuddles, and acting like you've been best friends forever. And then there are the tennis balls. If Roxanne could write a dating profile, "must love balls" would probably be listed at the top. She doesn't just play fetch, she entertains herself. She tosses balls into the air, pounces on them, chases them across the yard, and performs the cutest little bunny hops while doing it. Honestly, she could probably spend an entire afternoon creating her own game and having the time of her life. With other dogs, Roxanne is a thoughtful girl who likes to take introductions at her own pace. She's not the type to run into a room and instantly become the life of the party. Instead, she likes a moment to figure everyone out before deciding they're friends. Once she feels comfortable, she does wonderfully with easygoing, respectful dogs, especially smaller or gentle dogs who don't overwhelm her. She could absolutely thrive in a home with other respectful doggy friends, wed recommend slow intros and giving her time to get comfortable with any new furry friends. She has also spent time around cats and did very well. While she was initially unsure, she quickly relaxed and even shared couch space with a cat. We think she'd do just fine in a home with dog-savvy cats who appreciate a respectful roommate. Because Roxanne is a young Aussie-type girl, she's looking for a family that understands that smart dogs need both physical exercise and mental enrichment. She would love adventures, walks, training games, puzzle toys, fetch sessions, and opportunities to use that clever brain of hers. She could potentially do well in an apartment with an active family committed to meeting her exercise needs, but her dream home would probably include a yard where she can show off her impressive ball-handling skills and bounce around like the happy little kangaroo she is. While we have not formally kid-tested Roxanne yet, we'd be happy to do so. Based on her personality, we think she would likely do best with children who are old enough to understand that she appreciates gentle introductions and a little patience while she settles in. But with her loving and affectionate personality, she could blossom into a fantastic family dog. Roxanne's perfect home is one filled with love, adventure, tennis balls, and people who appreciate her sweet, sensitive heart. She isn't looking to be the loudest dog in the room. She's looking for her people, the ones she'll check in with, trust completely, and love with her whole heart. And maybe a few extra tennis balls. Okay, definitely a few extra tennis balls.

Sky is the smaller sister of the three. She’s very loving, loves walks and will chase after balls but not bring back. She gets timid, from loud noises. Loves cleaning brother Balu’s ears. They like sleeping in their crates with the door closed and then we leave them roaming throughout the day and then we let them out for their potty breaks. Unfortunately, these aren’t your average Aussies with a lot of outdoor experience. They do spend a lot of time inside in the air conditioning, but to love the outside when it’s decent outside, my wife has always worried about that they would get to overheated. Just hoping to find somebody who could give them a good rest of their life that due to our family dynamics we were unable to keep them

Balu is the big lazy fluffy bear of the three. He does like walks but gets tired quickly. Hes our most vocal talker, lets you know when someone new is around but lets go when its time. He like to run sometimes, and has big beautiful blue eyes. Has brand new knees in both back legs. He had surgery on his acls, but we had the best surgeon fix him up good.

Patches is a 2 1/2 year old, 60 lb Australian Shepherd whose owner passed away unexpectedly. A 75 year old friend has been caring for him, but his Aussie energy is too much for her to handle. Patches is a very happy, affectionate and enthusiastic boy who needs help learning not to jump up when greeting people. He currently lives with his female littermate and loves to play chase with her. He also loves his ball! When boarded with other dogs, he tends to be standoffish and shy at first but warms up after a day or so. He's also been around goats, chickens and cats and pays them no mind. Patches would do well in a home with older kids who won't be knocked down by his exuberance and someone who will give him daily exercise. He will need further training on leash work, jumping up and barking at visitors. Overall, he's a loving boy who wants to go on adventures. Aussie experience a huge plus.
