Why I need a new home

Busy schedule

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


My wife and I adopted Ranger a little after we were first married in early 2020. He was either abused or just had very negative reinforcement on his puppy behaviors because he was and at times is still very timid. He has grown with us over the years, and now has a wonderful personality and is very loving and cuddly. In 2021 we also adopted another Australian shepherd who he quickly bonded with and took to as his little sister. They love to wrestle and play.

As time has gone on and my wife and I now have 2 small children, it's hard to give Ranger and Luna the time and attention they need.

It is with a heavy heart we are looking to re-home both of our dogs but we also know that Australian shepherds require a lot of energy to keep them healthy and happy. We talked extensively and determined it was best for the dogs if we find owners who can give them what they need.

We are really determined to have both dogs go to the same owner but if it is necessary to, we will separate them.
