Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Kelso, Washington

Axel is energetic and loving. We have been together since he was 8 weeks old. He has lived with various other dogs (big and small), a couple of cats (however he does like to chase the cats), and children (ages 0-13). He is house trained, leash trained, kennel trained, and he knows various commands including sit, stay, come, down, off, and spin. If there are no other animals in the area, he responds well off-leash as well. He is up-to-date on his shots. He loves going on runs, playing fetch, cuddling, and squeak toys. This decision has been very difficult for us as we love Axel and he is a great companion. Unfortunately, we have not been able to provide for him as well as we want to with starting a new family. We believed we could do well, but his quality of life has declined (less walks, less interaction) and he deserves better.

Sparrow is a very sweet girl who would do best with someone who can spoil her and give her lots of pets. She's anxious and shy and would be happiest if she was the only pet. She's 12 years old and 8 pounds. She loves relaxing and sleeping and going on car rides and walks!

Daisy is an extremely sweet, affectionate, and people-oriented dog. She thrives on companionship and loves to be near her people at all times. She is very loving, seeks out attention, and gives lots of affection in return. She has been wonderful with her foster family and she is great with kids she is familiar with. We haven’t had the opportunity to expose her to unfamiliar children, so her behavior in that setting is currently unknown. Daisy can be reactive to unfamiliar dogs when on leash, but has been improving with that & will continue to improve with continued training. Daisy has done well with cats previously but would prefer to be the only dog in the home.Daisy is such a love bug with people and just needs another shot with a family that will give her the time and attention she deserves!     ##2687640##

10 yrs old. He is potty trained, can sit, roll over, spin, stay, lay down, fetch a ball. Good with kids, other dogs and cats. Only vise he has is anxiety w/loud gunshot noises/fire works. He will try to get out any where he is. I have to put him on trazodone during new years and 4th of July holidays. He has been getting out of our backyard during the day a few times a week now, which im guessing is because he is bored & not stimulated enough. Only to the best home & w/ acreage or a farm. These dogs cant be in a small home or apt. Txt 9717627678 for more info.

Meet Roma — your future best friend, personal comedian, and professional heart-stealer all wrapped up in one tiny, wiggly package. At just 2 months old, Roma is already overflowing with personality. She’s the kind of puppy who makes every day feel brighter and a lot more fun. Playful, curious, and endlessly sweet, Roma turns even the simplest moments into an adventure. Whether she’s bouncing after a toy, romping around with her dog friends, or exploring something new, she does it all with a happy, tail-wagging enthusiasm that’s impossible to resist. Watch her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/sce0rceiGXA?si=7bn7aO2qSwpfU6O2 Roma absolutely loves other dogs and thrives in their company. She would do wonderfully in a home with a playful canine companion who can help show her the ropes and keep up with her puppy energy. She’s also incredibly people-focused and adores attention — she wants to be where you are, involved in your day, and soaking up every bit of love and affection you have to give. Even at her young age, Roma is already showing how smart and adaptable she is. She’s learning her leash skills very well and is picking things up quickly, making great progress with guidance and consistency. She’s also been to multiple events with lots of people and kids and handled it all beautifully. She takes new experiences in stride, showing a confident, social, and easygoing nature that makes her stand out. Of course, Roma is still a young puppy, which means she’ll need a family ready to continue her training with patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. She’s at the perfect age to build strong habits, and with her possible Australian Shepherd and Lab mix, she’s likely to grow into an intelligent, loyal, and active companion who will thrive with both mental and physical enrichment. Roma’s energy is joyful and contagious. She’ll keep you laughing with her silly, playful antics, then happily settle in for cuddles when she’s ready to recharge. She brings that perfect mix of fun and affection that makes life with a puppy so special. Because she’s so young, Roma will do best in a home that can give her plenty of time, attention, and continued socialization. Puppies like her need guidance and commitment, but in return, she’ll give you a lifetime of love, loyalty, and companionship. If you’ve been looking for a puppy who is as sweet as she is spirited, as loving as she is lively, Roma might just be your perfect match. She’s ready to find a forever family who will grow with her, guide her, and love her every step of the way. Adopt Roma and see just how quickly she’ll steal your heart. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69bf3b062cd5ecbbc00713d7 Questions?
