Little Lady has lived with kids and done very well with them. She also seems like she would enjoy a canine companion to play with! Little Lady has tons of energy but is also as sweet as can be. She loves getting attention, going on walks, and eating tasty treats. If you think your home is the right for Little Lady, apply online today!Adoption fee is $350 + $30 microchip fee + tax

Story
Bear is a 4 year old Australian Shepherd who is incredibly smart, affectionate, and full of energy. He is the kind of dog who wants to be involved in everything you do and will happily soak up all the love and attention you can give. When his needs are met, he is a super cuddly companion who truly enjoys being close to his people. As an Australian Shepherd, Bear needs an active lifestyle and plenty of mental and physical outlets. He would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard where he can run, play, and burn off energy, along with daily walks and ongoing engagement. An experienced, very active home that understands working breeds would be the best fit for him. Bear must go to a home with no kids. He does live with another dog. He does very well at daycare and boarding. On leash, he can be reactive and will bark at other dogs, as well as at the TV and out the window, so continued structure and guidance will help him succeed. Bear is looking for a committed home that can give him the exercise, enrichment, and affection he deserves. In return, he will give endless loyalty, cuddles, and companionship. Adoption fee is $350+tax, please apply at www.campcompanion.org

Story
Meet Theodore Roosevelt, better known as Teddy. Teddy is a one year old Australian Shepherd who is very much a classic example of the breed. He is intelligent, energetic, driven, and always looking for a job. Teddy is not a couch potato and will thrive in a home that understands the physical and mental needs of an Australian Shepherd. As a young dog, Teddy will need continued training, structure, and clear boundaries. He is smart and eager, but that intelligence means he needs guidance to channel his energy appropriately. Consistent training and enrichment will be key to helping Teddy become his best self. Teddy would do best in a home with prior Australian Shepherd or similar herding breed experience. An active household that enjoys training, outdoor activities, and providing mental stimulation will be essential for his success. He is not an ideal fit for a first time dog owner or a low activity home. With the right environment, Teddy has the potential to be an incredible companion for someone who appreciates the wonderful, challenging, and rewarding nature of the breed.

Story
I have a 5 year old (as of Nov 2025) Australian Shepherd female dog. She was given to me for Christmas as a puppy when she was 10 weeks old (they bought her from a farm in Iowa for $600) but I have a difficult time finding care for her each month that I have drill for the National Guard and it has unfortunately been quite a burden on my life. I believe she’s ok with other animals as she has been at my sisters who has a dog and cat. Her dog and my dog get along well. She has had pet health insurance so she is all up to date on all vaccines and she is healthy and great weight. She would do great in a active setting. She knows basic commands such as sit, lay down, stay, shake. Please reach out if you are interested. I will be cautious in selection to make sure she’s cared for. Her kennel, toys, treats, extra food will all be included! I also had her DNA — she’s 90% Australian shepherded and 10% miniature Aussie Thank you very much. Location: Rochester, MN

Story
Hudson is a true Mini Aussie at heart. He is incredibly loyal and happiest when he has a job to do or a person to focus on. Once he trusts you, his devotion is unmatched and he will stick by your side with his whole heart. He loves going for walks and enjoys the calm one on one time this brings him. At home, Hudson takes his role as protector seriously. He will always let you know when someone is near the house, including delivery drivers and truck drivers. Even with his alert nature, his soft side shines through every day. His favorite moments are when he can snuggle close with his person for quiet affection. Hudson gets along well with most dogs and cats, though he prefers calmer animals who respect his signals. High energy dogs that push his boundaries are not a good match for him and no young children. Hudson is ready for someone who understands his breed, appreciates his loyalty, and can offer the steady home he thrives in. Adoption fee is $350+tax, please apply at www.campcompanion.org

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Argo arrived in November 2022 from our friends at the Rescue Network after he was rescued from a Reservation in South Dakota. He is about 3 to 4 years old and does have a lot of the trademark features of mixed breed dogs from Reservations - "Rezzies", as they are affectionately known in rescue. Like many Rezzies, he could be a mix of cattle dog and German and/or Australian shepherd, just to name a few possible options. He's a handsome and very active dog. He has been vet checked and neutered and his fee is $125. Argo has had some basic training and will require a lot of consistent exercise. This is of the utmost importance in order to keep him well balanced and happy. He is ready for action all the time but gets serious when leashed. He does pretty well on leash walks and loves car rides. He's an affectionate guy, too, who thinks nothing of climbing into a person's lap if he gets the chance. Argo would do best in a home with a large fenced yard. He's NOT a dog for apartment living. He's looking for an ADULT only, single person home as he tends to bond very closely to his person and becomes quite protective. No cats for him. He's incredibly smart and would be a lot of fun to train! Watch a short TikTok video featuring Argo below! https://www.tiktok.com/@happy.critter.ranch/video/7199457883958955310 NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications can be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventative, and spayed or neutered.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 30, 2025, 6:43 pm
