Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Carrollton, Texas

His name is Tofu, 4 years old. Birthday is Nov 29th. 2021. Crate trained, potty trained, doesnot destroy anything in the house beside his toy and not allowed on the furniture. 99% of time he is great and friendly to everyone but 1% of time he would bite with no reason.He is super smart, high energy and a fun dog. However since we moved from 2 years ago he built up some aggression issue towards both me and my husband. Currently his score is bite my husband 3 times and tried to bite me 3 times. It is mostly scratches and nothing serious but it was still bites. We have went through 2 trainings tried to fix his problem, some is fixed but the random aggression is a no solve. At this point we think it is space and people related and unfortunately we donnot know how to deal with him anymore. We are hoping change environment will improve his behavior, we are looking for people who can/know how to work with dog that might bite, has basic knowledge of training and strict on rules.

Meet Kody! A thoughtful eight-year-old Australian Shepherd currently in Haltom City, TX, whose tricolor coat and soulful eyes reflect the loyal heart of a pup ready for purpose and connection. Kody is the kind of companion who listens with his whole being and feels deeply, he’s more than just a pretty face with a herder’s instincts; he’s a steady, sensitive soul who longs to bond with his person. While he might not herd sheep, he’s always herding love, sticking close to the one he trusts most. And once you're his person? You're really his! Expect head nudges for butt scratches, quiet companionship, and the joy of being followed around like you're the most interesting thing in the world, because to Kody, you are. Raised in an environment that didn’t quite match his needs, Kody has come a long way. He’s conquered his fear of everyday noises (ice makers are no longer public enemy #1!) and while he still seeks a quiet space during thunderstorms or fireworks, he no longer panics. He’s never had an accident indoors, uses a dog door with ease, and hasn’t touched a trash can, but yes, he may sneak off with a pair of laundry-day undies if left unsupervised. A little mischief wrapped in a well-mannered package! Kody is dog-friendly, with a special connection to a Boxer/Pitbull mix he’s spent time with, and he’s shown calm curiosity around a baby. He has also been around a Dachshund mix, who comically took on the bossy role! Kody took it all in stride, never reacting with aggression. He doesn’t crave toys but will happily destroy a squeaky one in five minutes flat! He knows basic commands like sit, paw, and lay down, and thrives on routine and gentle connection. Car rides longer than a mile or two make him queasy, so he's happiest staying local. This clever boy needs a life filled with structure, activity, and a "job", be it hiking buddy, daily walking partner, or ranch hand in training. He’s known to be a bit of an escape artist, so a secure yard would be highly recommended, along with patient guidance to continue building confidence through positive reinforcement. Could your lifestyle offer Kody the purpose and partnership he's been waiting for? If so, email adopt@joyfulpets.com to meet this remarkable pup ready to start his next chapter with you!

Oakley is more of an Aussie-Border Collie mix and Indy looks like an Aussie and a Collie We are considering them a “bonded pair”because they haven’t experienced life without each other. Indy is the male - he is goofball who always wants to play. He’s a perfect energy level ranging from 4-7 depending on what’s going on. If you want to play Indy will be there! He can get up and on the go at your discretion and enjoys walks, being off-leash, hiking and all outdoor adventures. Oakley is the female; she is a very loving, affectionate girl. She LOVES to cuddle and even more, belly rubs! Her overall energy is about a 4-5. Oakley can get the zoomies but she prefers to chill most of the day. Oakley likes to keep Indy in check; she’s a typical female personality in the female-male relationship. Oakley is a cautious girl; she growls a little at Indy if he’s getting too close or bothering her. When she’s getting attention and Indy “snuggle-bombs” the moment she’s very vocal about it! When it comes to humans Indy is more outgoing. But like his sister he will hunker down next to you to snuggle. Indy loves to play with all other dogs whereas Oakley is more independent. She decides for herself whether or not to play. They both get along with other dogs in general. The reason Oakley and Indy need a new home is because their beloved owner has developed severe allergies to dogs. She is heartbroken having to rehome them but she’s been on vaccine regimens, has tried several prescribed medications and has even had sinus surgery. Nothing is working. We are looking for a home with a yard where Oakley and Indy can continue to be the indoor-outdoor spirited and loyal dogs they’ve always been.

Meet Ethel! Ethel was found wandering the streets with her friend Lucille (check out Lucille’s post from yesterday). She’s estimated to be around six months old and already has some impressive puppy manners — she’s crate trained and housebroken. Ethel appears to be a husky mix and will likely stay under 50 pounds when fully grown. This sweet girl loves playing with her dog pals, but her favorite thing of all is snuggling with her humans. She’s a pretty chill puppy for her age, smart, and just an all-around lovely companion. Think Ethel might be the one for you? Submit an application at www.codysfriendsrescue.org! You can meet her at both of our meet & greet events this weekend, and if you apply now, you can already be approved before you come. https://bit.ly/codys_adoption_application. ##2607323##

He’s got a modern amount of energy, very playful outside, but also snuggly and cuddly indoors.   Jack is incredibly athletic; he will chase anything that you throw tennis ball, soccer ball, Chuck-It, whatever flies through the air; I’m not very good at frisbee, but I’m told that he’s excellent loves to learn any new sports that you want to teach!   Jack super smart and a quick learner; he also really loves the water! Boats in the lake, lakes in general, on the shore or in a pool Jack has a blast, even if it’s only himself playing!   On that note, Jack is fabulous that entertain entertaining himself; even when the other dogs have come inside, the door is open and he has a choice and he loves to toss toys around for himself in the yard as long as the weather is good and he knows someone is nearby.   Jack really needs somebody with Aussie / Herding breed experience because initially he can be reactive to people he doesn’t know. However, he hasn’t had a long enough chance in his life yet to settle in and decompress and feel much more confident.   The reason that Jack is needing rehoming is that his owner moved from her house to an RV life full-time. It’s so different than what Jack is used to, a large yard a safe privacy fence birds and squirrels to bark at and anything else you can think of in a home that’s truly stable for any dog.   His owner loves him so much. She’s brokenhearted to make this decision, but we all know economically things are changing and we just want to be supportive of people who care enough to reach out to us to help rehome their dogs.   Only had Jack for a few days and he just settled right in! There’s not often three fosters at one time in my house, but one has already been adopted and I expect Jack and jingle to be adopted soon. In the meantime, they are a terrific trio and this has been a great opportunity to play and learn alongside other dogs.   So for Jack we are looking for a house with the yard and a privacy fence. He does his best with other dogs around so he can certainly be added to the pack. He’ll allow his place in the pack to be made known by established dogs and won’t bully any others.    For now, Jack is out of the habit of leash walks, so we’ll need to work on that slowly hence the yard being the ideal playing in training place. He’s also very good at off leash, dog parks specific settings, where people are watching their fur family member members.   If Jack sounds like a great match for you, we hope that you’ll apply for him by completing the application on our website below, then   TEXT SARA: 214-549-9905   So I can check your app and get back to you!   Thank you very much!   www.dashdog.org General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city.
