Ranger is an 8-month-old, 35 lb. Australian Cattle Dog with a sweet, quiet personality. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he feels comfortable, his loving nature shines through. Ranger is great with other dogs, ignores cats, and is already crate trained.

With his easygoing temperament and affectionate personality, Ranger would be a wonderful choice for someone looking for their first Cattle Dog companion. He’s the perfect mix of young, playful, and sweet.

Meet Ryder, a stunning 7-year-old Blue Merle Australian Shepherd looking for his perfect forever home.
Please 🥰 Share

Foster Mom “Don’t let his age fool you - Ryder still has plenty of energy and enthusiasm for life! This handsome guy loves playing frisbee, chasing a ball, and staying active. Regular exercise is important for him, and he’s happiest when he has a job to do and a person by his side.

Ryder is incredibly sweet, intelligent, and eager to please. He knows a long list of commands including sit, down, roll over, wait, and more. He is highly food-motivated, loves learning, and thrives when given clear guidance and structure.

As a true “Velcro Aussie,” Ryder bonds deeply with his people and loves them with his whole heart. He wants to be involved in everything you’re doing and will happily stick close by your side.

Ryder is looking for an experienced, confident owner who understands the Australian Shepherd breed. He is a very sensitive dog who picks up on the emotions and energy of those around him, so he does best with a calm, steady handler.

Ryder is dog-selective and will need ongoing work and management around other dogs. He also has a high prey drive, so he is not suitable for homes with cats or other small animals.

Ryder will be an incredibly devoted companion. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, loyal Aussie who will be your shadow and best friend, Ryder may be the dog you’ve been waiting for. ❤️”

Meet Ria ❤️Looking for a best friend who will be devoted to you through your journey? Please share 🥰

Ria is a stunning 2½-year-old Malinois/German Shepherd mix with a heart as beautiful as her golden coat. From Foster Mom “She absolutely loves people, adores children, and never passes up an opportunity for belly rubs, playtime, or snuggles on the couch.

This smart girl already knows sit, stay, down, paw, and come, is fully house-trained, and has wonderful house manners. She enjoys long walks, backyard adventures, chasing squirrels and birds, and a good game of fetch. Most of all, Ria loves being with her people.

Like many intelligent working breeds, Ria thrives when she has structure, routine, and opportunities to use her brain. She would love an active family who enjoys outdoor adventures and could even excel in activities like agility, flyball, or other canine sports.

Ria is ready to find the family she’s been waiting for—a family who will love her as much as she’ll love them. And trust us, once you’re part of Ria’s circle, you’ll have a loyal companion for life.”

Why is Alex still waiting? Please Share to help him find his family❤️

At 2 years old and 45 pounds, Alex checks all the boxes. He’s smart, friendly, house trained, crate trained, loves toys, enjoys walks, gets along with other dogs, and is always up for some cuddle time.

This handsome Australian Cattle Dog is ready for an active family to call his own. All he’s missing is a couch, a few toys, and someone to love.🥰
Older children preferred.
