Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Gladstone, Oregon

Bruiser, a loyal and loving companion, demands consistent stimulation and a strict schedule. Although he’s a quick learner, he exhibits some significant social behaviors with humans, animals, and even swaying trees that he can’t overcome in his current living situation due to safety concerns for young children and an adult on the spectrum. That’s why we’re seeking an experienced dog owner who’s willing to invest the effort to help this sweet goofball’s true personality shine with a fresh start in a neutral, loving home.Bruiser loves to nap as much as he loves to run and play with his toys. He has a bit of Scooby Doo’s personality (VERY food-motivated) and is triggered by sudden sounds or beings in his space. This causes him to snuggle with his closest human or try to protect them (one of the behaviors that needs to be continued addressed).Personality traits:- Adventurous- Affectionate- Athletic- Chill- Clever- Communicative

Arlo is his name and his gentle eyes match his heart perfectly! Arlo is currently fostered in a loving home with three kids (ages 4–12), and his daily routine reads like a cozy family story. Mornings start with breakfast and a short walk to the bus stop with the kids, followed by backyard zoomies and toy time with his small dog buddy. Then it’s nap time… until the kids come home and it’s right back to play, connection, and winding down together for the evening. He is house and crate trained, knows the rhythm of home life, and truly thrives when he knows where his people are. Go watch Arlo on YouTube, then come right back to read more. https://youtu.be/0k4F2-EaUVE?si=AIoBDzJEkI0JoR_m Arlo is estimated to be 1 year old, he weighs 48 lbs and may be a husky/shepherd mix but of course, he is a rescue so we cannot guarantee age or breed. Arlo’s foster has had a wonderful front row seat to the Arlo show and shared so much about him. We lovingly call him a “slow bloom, big reward” kind of dog. He can be shy when meeting new people and may hang back at first, taking everything in from a safe distance and in these moments you see just how adoring and devoted he is. This is when he looks to his person for reassurance while he figures things out. But with a little time, a little patience, and a steady routine… on the other side you have the sweetest, most devoted boy who just wants to be close to you. One thing that helps Arlo feel his best is having a canine buddy, especially a smaller dog. He absolutely lights up around his little foster sibling, following along, playing, and gaining confidence just by having that companionship. Bigger dogs can feel a bit overwhelming for him right now, so a home with a smaller, friendly dog or a calm, easygoing larger dog (with a thoughtful introduction and decompression time) would be ideal. Not only do dogs make him feel a little more at ease, Aldo has spent time with a cat and has done well with slow and proper introductions with a cat. Arlo would feel most comfortable in a home with a yard where he can settle in and build confidence at his own pace. Walks in busy or unfamiliar places can feel like a lot for him right now, but he’s a smart, trainable boy who just needs time, consistency, and someone willing to show him the world can be a safe and gentle place. If you’ve ever loved a shy dog, you already know… there is something incredibly special about earning their trust. Arlo isn’t trying to be everyone’s dog. He’s waiting to be someone’s dog. And when he is, it’s the kind of bond that feels steady and true. Are you Arlo’s person? Apply today and welcome home a gentle family boy who just might become your favorite little shadow. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/697b7a35063e5fe841006850 Questions?

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. To learn more about Truffle, please complete an adoption application. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69e668ffea48cc9dd3047af9 Questions can be directed to Kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org.

Seriously, this tiny little girl has mastered the art of looking at you with those big, soulful eyes like you're the most important person in the entire world. Then, just when you think Gigi Grace couldn't possibly get any cuter, she'll look up at you with what honestly looks like the sweetest little smile. It's game over after that. You're in love and you don't even realize it until she's already stolen your heart. Gigi is the definition of a cuddle bug. She'd happily choose being snuggled up with her people over just about anything else. While she certainly enjoys toys and playing like every puppy should, she's much more interested in being wherever you are. Her foster lovingly calls her "momma's little girl," and it couldn't describe her any better. If she has the choice between another toy or curling up in your lap, she's picking your lap every single time. Watch her video and try not to smile the entire time: https://youtu.be/ew1vfXhE6WM?si=BvYef27KOvAllNUr This precious little girl is Gigi. She is approximately 4 months old and currently weighs just 7 lbs. She is absolutely teeny tiny! We believe she may be an Australian Shepherd/Lab mix, but with rescue it's always a mystery and we can never guarantee breed. Whatever her breed mix may be, one thing is certain... she's absolutely adorable. One of our favorite things about Gigi is how naturally gentle and loving she is. She has such an innocent little personality that just makes you want to protect her. She enjoys playing with toys and joining in on puppy fun, but she's definitely more of a people puppy than anything else. She lights up when she's getting attention, happily melts into your lap for cuddles, and seems perfectly content just being close to the people she loves. Gigi is currently thriving in a foster home where she's beginning to explore the world through play, naps, mealtime routines, and gentle socialization. She's fostered alongside her brothers who are nearly twice her size, and honestly... watching this teeny tiny little girl keep up with them is about as adorable as it sounds. She's also living with two adult dogs, including a feisty little 9-pound Chiweenie who isn't afraid to remind the puppies who's in charge and a large adult female dog who has happily stepped into the role of honorary puppy mom. Gigi has done wonderfully with everyone. Like any young puppy, Gigi is still learning all the important puppy skills. She's already crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night in her kennel like a little champion. Potty training is still a work in progress, but she's already catching on quickly. All she needs is a family willing to continue providing the routine, structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement every puppy needs while they learn. One of the best parts about bringing home a puppy is getting to experience all of life's firsts together. Her first neighborhood walk. Her first camping trip. Her first birthday. Watching her discover the world one little adventure at a time and grow into the amazing dog she's meant to become is something you'll never forget. Like every puppy, Gigi will need a family that's ready to invest the time, patience, and consistency puppyhood requires. Continued socialization, training, routine, boundaries, and positive experiences will help her grow into a confident, well-rounded adult dog. We also require adopters to begin crate training immediately after bringing their puppy home, as it helps with potty training, building confidence, creating healthy routines, and raising a well-rounded adult dog. If your dream puppy is tiny enough to fit perfectly in your lap, sweet enough to melt your heart, and affectionate enough to make every day feel a little brighter, Gigi might just be your perfect match. Just be prepared... once she looks at you with those heart-melting eyes and that adorable little smile, saying no isn't really an option anymore. We are willing to test Gigi Grace with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a105ce59e2c8f74c0002e09 Questions?
