Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Bellingham, Washington

**Now fostered in Bothell, WA** Flynn is an almost 6-month-old Australian Shepherd/Pittie mix (we think! It's always a guess with rescue) with velvet-soft white fur and tan splotches that make him look as sweet as he truly is. At about 25 pounds, this little guy has the perfect balance of playful energy and cuddle-bug charm. Flynn is currently fostered with his brother (also available for adoption!), two other dogs, and two kids—and he’s doing wonderfully with them all. He loves to romp around with his doggy friends and play with the kids, then happily curl up for a snuggle session afterward. Flynn hasn't shown any fear when experiencing new things like Halloween costumes and would make a great dog to take everywhere. Flynn loves to pose for the camera and even enjoys going to work with his foster dad and mom. He's a great sounding board but will sleep on the job. He recently had some fun meeting Santa and riding a boat with his foster family! He’s 100% potty trained and is crate trained. Flynn will need thrive in a family committed to continuing his training and socialization. Another dog in home (ideally a few years older) to help show him proper doggy manners and learn from would be a great fit. Flynn doesn’t ask for much—just a warm place to sleep, good food, a few toys, and a family ready to make him part of their hearts and home.

**Now fostered in Bothell, WA** At 6-months old and about 28lbs., this velvet-soft cutie is believed to be an Aussie/Pittie mix (though with rescue, it’s always a bit of a guess). With his two tan splotches, dreamy blue eyes, and the sweetest face, Beethoven Clu is impossible not to fall in love with. Beethoven Clu was born deaf, but that hasn’t slowed him down one bit! He’s a happy, wiggly pup who takes cues from the other dogs in his foster home and is learning the world beautifully through them. He’ll need a home with another friendly dog and adopters who either have experience with deaf dogs or are eager to learn how to communicate and support him — because this boy is so worth it. His foster family reports he's doing amazing and learning hand signals. He’s currently thriving in a loving foster home with two young kids, two foster dog siblings, and his brother (who’s also available for adoption!). He’s doing awesome with his potty (pretty much 100%) and crate training, loves toys, adores having his ears rubbed, and recently tagged along to watch his foster brothers play soccer — he was a total hit on the sidelines! He also joins his foster dad and mom at work and is a great help- although he may be caught sleeping on the job a bit. Beethoven was a hit at a recent busy adoption event- he was sweet and loving to all including little kids who wanted a chance to hold and pet him. He's very well behaved in public. He also has meet Santa and road on a boat- this boy is made for adventure! Even though he is deaf he will occasionally let out a deep bark- his foster mom says the first time he did it everyone was shocked. He knows that a bark will let others know he needs out. One benefit of a deaf dog is when the house is full of chaos- kids running around, tv blaring, doorbell ringing from visitors or the delivery person dropping off packages- he has no idea and will remain sound asleep or playing with his toys. Beethoven Clu is a smart, affectionate, and resilient little soul who’s ready to find a family that will cheer him on every step of the way.

About Tatu Tatu came in from a very bad situation. An Australian shepherd/labradoodle mix, he is very shy and needs a family who appreciates shy dogs and is willing to work with him. Considerations Very shy

About Truffle A four-year-old Australian/Labradoodle mix, Truffle was rescued from a bad situation and was not well socialized. As a result, she is very shy. Truffle is in need of a family who understands and appreciates very shy dogs and who will work with her to help her gain confidence. She needs a home with no kids under 10 years old. Considerations Very shy No kids under 10

About Yuki Only nine months old, blue heeler/husky mix Yuki is a friendly, playful, shy, and energetic young pup who loves treats. Her high energy level proved to be a bit too much for the small children in her previous home, and so she was surrendered to the shelter. She needs a family without small kids who can work with her on all aspects of obedience and other training. Yuki has been known to enjoy digging, so her family will also need to work with her on this. Yuki currently weighs about 35 pounds but still has some growing to do. Shelter staff believe she will grow to just under 50 pounds. She’s a real sweetie! Considerations No small children No cats 6-foot fence

Are you looking for a soft soul to love in the midst of this crazy world? We have the perfect dog for you! Trixie is like the shy new kid in class who stays tucked in the corner until someone kind sits next to her, offers a little patience, and opens the door to a beautiful friendship. Once she realizes she’s safe and loved, she blooms. Trixie has gone from a quiet and unsure girl to a loyal, snuggly, playful companion who knows how good it feels to be loved and cherished. This beautiful girl weighs about 55 pounds and is estimated to be 5 years old. We think she is a Kelpie/Husky/shephard mix, but we aren’t really sure, so we just call her our Texas Special- the very best breed! She has a gorgeous coat that features a mixture of solid black shiny fur with patches of merle and spots on her socks. Check out Trixie here: https://youtu.be/HGbITB-dv5k Trixie is being fostered with eight small grumpy dogs. It is funny to watch her gently play with them, and then she takes it in stride when they growl and snap at her. They do snuggle up to her sometimes! In play groups with other big dogs she is very shy and stays on the sidelines. For that reason, we think Trixie would thrive in a home with small dogs. Trixie blossoms with people who are patient. Her bond with her foster mom is a shining example; she’s become her little shadow, quietly trailing from room to room just to be nearby. She loves to snuggle on the couch and have her belly rubbed. Trixie wants nothing more than to be with her person. Like many herding breeds, she uses her mouth to communicate and can be “mouthy”. She would do best with older kids who understand she is being playful. Looking for a buddy to grab a morning coffee or late night ice cream treat with? Trixie would love to join you! She is an excellent car rider and knows how to “load up”. She is great on the leash and loves to go for walks and to dog friendly stores. She walks by people and dogs with ease. Trixie gets lots of zoomies- so a home with a fenced yard she can run around in would be ideal for her. Trixie potty trained and create trained. She is not the biggest fan of the crate and will complain for a while, but will settle down when she can no longer see you, for this reason she would not do well in an apartment. Trixie’s new family should expect to spend some time building trust until she knows this is her new home. She is shy in new places and with new people. Trixie met our housecat Biggie and was gently curious, giving respectful sniffs before moving along. She’s considered cat tolerant and could do well in a home with a dog-savvy feline who won’t mind the occasional gentle inspection.

Let me introduce you to the warm soul we call George, He has a comforting presence. George can come off a little reserved at first, but that’s just because he’s not the type to push for attention. He’s the quiet kind—like a best friend who’s always there, steady and grounding. George has all the traits of a loyal, loving dog and he is ready to find himself at home. What stands out most about George is how easy his company is. He’s slow and steady across the board—whether he’s meeting new people, walking on leash, hanging with other dogs, or encountering a cat.. Based on his look and temperament, we think he may be a Kelpie/Shepherd mix, estimated to be around 4 years old, and he weighs 50 lbs. As with any rescue, we can’t say with total certainty on age or breed, but he is fully-grown size so we can testify to how perfectly midsize he is. George is so fortunate and is being fostered in a loving home while he waits for his adoption day and this not only gives us a front-row account to hi personality but he also gets to learn and master the best house manners while he waits. His foster has praised George for how well he rides in the car- laying in the back peacefully, only perking up once they have arrived. He is also both house and crate trained! We loooove that! George lives with both cats and dogs in his foster home and he gets along well with them all. We spent an afternoon with George outside of his foster home to get a feel of his play style and approach to new dogs along with observing him meet a new cat. The first thing that jumped out was just how politely George meets new dogs on-leash. He showed a little excitement when he saw the first dog, it was contained but obvious, he was happy to meet a possible playmate.With each additional dog the approach was the same, neutral and calm. Although he never found the perfect playmate to really let loose, he was easy company and is dog-friendly. The most natural pairing was with a female, similar age to him, with a sense of confidence and bouts of playfullness. If going into a home with another dog, that would be almost exactly the type of dog he would be best with. Dogs like George, who come across as reserved, are often naturally independent, confident and content with their own company. Another quality we love! Even though we know George lives with cats we love to see a dog in a new environment, meeting a new cat to get a grasp on what that could look like once he is arriving in a new home. He was introduced on leash and he was curious but respectful and calm. As the cat got more animated and jumpy playing with a toy, George definitely thought it was an invitation to play. He obviously can live peacefully with cats but we all know, cat personalities are a variable. If joining a house with a cat(s), it would be best if they were dog savvy. He will respect a swat and may need one to mind a boundary. George would do great in a home with a yard, if for no other reason than his simple joy of laying in the shade on a patch of green grass. It is heaven to watch! He has great basic leash skills with a nice pace but a hectic, busy environment might throw off his vibes. Basically, the busy environment of elevators and lobby are not for him. He could do it, but we can see he isn’t much of a busy city guy. The same goes for family-life, he could do it but he has really been spoiled by a foster home with the occasional 20 something year old kid coming by to do laundry. In other words, empty-nester? Not with George! He is ready to fill your time with good company! Invite this boy home to peaceful place and a patch of grass, with a doggie friend and a cool cat and George will be there to take it all in—his pace and by your side! If you’ve got room in your life for a gentle heart and a quiet companion, George is ready to bring calm, sweetness, and unwavering loyalty into your world. Questions?
