Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Vermont

Can we all just take a second to appreciate this face? Because between the adorable little underbite, one icy blue eye, one hazel eye, and that perfectly petite size, Sandra Bullock is already pretty impossible to scroll past. Then you actually spend a few minutes with her and somehow she gets even better. She's sweet, she's silly, she's affectionate, she's social... honestly, she's just one of those dogs that's ridiculously easy to love. She has this wonderful way of fitting into whatever the day has in store. Want to go somewhere? Sandra's ready. Want to stay home, watch a movie, and hand out belly rubs? She thinks that sounds like a pretty great day too. Watch her video and prepare to fall in love with this adorable little lady: https://youtu.be/iI8NJTYRZwA?si=Ni_yAaWY_OICNrDI Sandra is believed to be approximately 2 years old and currently weighs about 32 pounds. As with any rescue dog, her exact breed is always a mystery, but our best guess is she's an Australian Shepherd and Pomeranian mix. Whatever combination created her also gave her one unforgettable face, a heart full of love, and a personality that honestly checks just about every box. One of our favorite things about Sandra is how naturally she seems to settle into just about any situation. She loves being around people, enjoys meeting new friends, has a goofy side that keeps everyone smiling, and is just as happy entertaining herself with a toy as she is hanging out with her family. She has a playful side, but she's not over-the-top about it. She's the kind of dog that can spend the afternoon exploring a new trail or tagging along on errands, then come home, climb into your lap for belly rubs, and call it a perfect day. Sandra is also one smart cookie. She already knows how to sit, absolutely loves treats, and takes them so gently you can barely tell they're leaving your hand. We have a feeling she's going to have a blast learning new tricks because she's food motivated, eager to interact with her people, and seems to genuinely enjoy figuring things out. She likes toys too and is great about entertaining herself, happily sharing them with other dogs, and we wouldn't be surprised if she picked up a game of fetch in no time. She's also been wonderful with every dog we've introduced her to. Big dogs, smaller dogs, energetic dogs, calmer dogs... Sandra has handled meeting all of them beautifully. She enjoys playing, but her style is much more about fun games of chase than body-slamming wrestling matches. We think she'd do well with just about any dog that enjoys respectful interactions. If you have a smaller dog, we'd recommend one that's at least around 10 pounds, as that's where she's seemed most comfortable. The nice thing is Sandra doesn't need another dog to feel happy or confident. If she's given the opportunity to soak up all your attention as your one and only, she's perfectly happy doing that too. Sandra also met our house cat, Biggie, and the introduction couldn't have gone much better. She was respectful, didn't chase him, and didn't seem bothered by anything cats tend to do. Biggie was comfortable around her as well. While we don't know whether she's lived with cats before, we'd absolutely be happy to arrange a cat sleepover if you already have a feline family member and would like everyone to meet first. So far, Sandra has been an excellent houseguest. She's comfortable in her crate, hasn't had accidents while crated, and has done a great job keeping potty time outside where it belongs. Because she has such a nice balance of energy, we think she could do well in an apartment with regular exercise, but she'd also love having a backyard to stretch her legs, sniff around, sunbathe, and enjoy the fresh air. Sandra really is one of those dogs that feels like the whole package. She's beautiful, funny, affectionate, playful without being wild, happy to join whatever adventure you have planned, and just as happy spending a quiet day at home. The underbite and those gorgeous mismatched eyes might be what catch your attention first... but we have a feeling it's her personality that's going to steal your heart. We are willing to test Sandra Bullock with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

Meet Luca - A Heart Full of Love, Just Waiting for His Forever Home! Luca's story began with heartbreak. He was abandoned at an oil field alongside two other dogs, left to wonder if anyone would ever come back for him. Thankfully, rescue stepped in, and those difficult days are now behind him. Despite everything he's been through, Luca has remained one of the sweetest, most loving boys you'll ever meet. His favorite place is right by your side, soaking up every bit of affection you have to give. Whether it's gentle pets, belly rubs, or simply keeping you company, Luca is happiest when he's close to his people. He's doing well in his crate and is making great progress with his leash skills every day. Luca is eager to learn and just wants someone who will be patient and continue helping him build his confidence. He also gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would enjoy having a canine companion, though he'd be just as happy soaking up all the attention himself. Luca has already survived being left behind. Now, he's hoping for the one thing he's never truly had a family who will love him forever and never let him wonder where he belongs again. Could Luca be the loyal best friend you've been searching for? https://www.vermontenglishbulldogrescue.com/non-bulldog-application/ Details: Breed: Aussie mix Age: 2 yrs (estimate)

Welcome Porsche to CCPAL Rescue. Porsche is an Aussie mix is our best guess. She looks like he is mixed with something small. She is about 8 pounds now and should be medium sized full grown. We think 25-30 full grown. She is very sweet, has good eye contact and has a soft coat and down ears. Her coat is really soft. She is active and the group is vocal but not over the top. A person that does not work all day every day for 5 days a week is the best for a puppy. Someone that can work from home some or has partial days or some days off to spend to help your new puppy acclimate is best. You need time to be with your puppy to socialize them and to finish off their puppy training. Porsche was very easy to handle taking his photos and she wasn’t afraid of new people and liked being held. She sat on the table with confidence while we worked with her. She is getting daily attention and holding at the Rescue. She is getting his DHPP vaccinations and dewormed. She is good in her play group. She is kenneled in the evening and is learning to go potty on a wee pad. She is currently at the CCPAL Rescue in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. She would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. Her adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org See her cute video

Meet Duke! If you’re looking for the kind of puppy who makes everyone smile the second they meet him, Duke is your guy. We think this handsome five-month-old Aussie/Lab mix is just about as close to perfect as puppies come. With his glossy black coat, adorable tan “boots,” bright white blaze down his nose, and the sweetest, most expressive eyes, Duke has a face that’s impossible to forget. And then there’s his tiny natural nub tail—when he’s happy (which is almost always), his entire back end wiggles with excitement. His full-body booty wag is enough to melt anyone’s heart. Duke is being fostered in a loving home with dogs, cats and a variety of farm animals, and he’s thriving. He absolutely adores other dogs and greets every new friend with joyful confidence, playful bounces, and that signature nub wag. He has wonderful social skills, shares toys well, respects other dogs’ boundaries, and loves having canine companions to romp around with. He also lives peacefully with cats and has proven himself to be incredibly respectful and easygoing around his feline roommates. He even coexists beautifully with slow-moving barn animals, showing just how adaptable and gentle he truly is. And lastly, this guy is a farm dog pro, he’s besties with a pig and does super well around all types of animals! Watch Duke’s video here to see him in action! https://youtu.be/oRG-GurbvTw?si=0aU7jwe2-0Uq4eJ1 When playtime is over, Duke transforms into the sweetest cuddle bug. He’s the kind of puppy who happily climbs into your lap for affection, leans into pets, and looks at you with those soft eyes like you’re the greatest person he’s ever met. He genuinely loves people and has never met a stranger. Whether it’s family, visitors, or someone new at the park, Duke is confident, friendly, and always excited to say hello. As an Aussie mix, Duke is an active, intelligent puppy who loves having something to do. He enjoys toys, games, exploring, and regular exercise, and his foster family takes him on runs to help burn off some puppy energy. The best part? Once he’s gotten his exercise, he settles down beautifully and is happy to relax with his people. He’s eager to learn, responds well to guidance, and has the kind of trainable personality that makes working with him a joy. Duke would absolutely love a home with a backyard where he can zoom around, but he could also thrive in an apartment with an active family committed to giving him daily walks, adventures, and mental enrichment. Like many young Aussies, he can get a little nippy when he’s overly excited during play, so continuing positive training and providing appropriate outlets for his energy will help him grow into an amazing adult companion. Everything about Duke is easy to love. He’s confident without being pushy, playful without being overwhelming, affectionate without being clingy, and adaptable enough to fit into so many different lifestyles. He’s truly the complete package—a puppy who gets along with everyone, loves life with his whole heart, and is ready to bring endless laughter, adventures, and cuddles to his forever family. If you’ve been waiting for that once-in-a-lifetime puppy, Duke just might be him. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
