Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in West Linn, Oregon

Miley Cyrus lived as a mother dog who was used for breeding. She was roaming the streets when she asked the right people for help. Eager to please, Miley has completed dog training at the head of her class. As a result of her past experiences, she is mistrusting of men and loud noises. She is not aggressive, but rather simply prefers to be alone. If you are kind and gentle, and have the patience to earn her trust, Miley Cyrus might be your girl.

Blu's original family of six had him since he was a puppy. The wife asked for online help when she learned she had ovarian cancer. When she explained to us the trouble she was in and the life Blu deserves, we stepped up to help out this family. From our own time, we learned Blu is about 2 years old with a lot of fun contagious energy. He loves to play with you at home, but when he's outside, he loves to run with his own making so many dog friends! I was so surprised how much he got along with everyone! Dogs to dog lovers! He did well with our elder dog who is about 8lbs to our child who is about 20lb. He loves kids, and allowed my child to be all over him. He loves a routine, and when established, he is extremely obedient. Sometimes we don't have to tell him to go inside his crate because he just knows what time it is! He knows basic commands, but we need big hearts with big space for this guy. He needs to run and be in a space his size!

About PepperPepper is a loving, intelligent, and playful herding dog who is looking for a patient and understanding forever family. Despite his herding breed background, Pepper has a laid-back personality at home, outside of playtime or long walks in outdoors, and enjoys relaxing or soaking up affection from his favorite humans. Pepper was adopted on October 22, 2023, and has been a cherished part of his current family. He’s a naturally sweet boy who adores toys, games, and treats, as well as tummy rubs and quiet adventures. Whether he’s exploring an empty park, sniffing along a quiet trail, or chasing his favorite toys, Pepper’s enthusiasm for the little things in life is contagious. He has an adorable big smile when he’s playing, a sharp nose for exploring, and excellent hearing that keeps him aware of his surroundings. Pepper’s Daily Routine Crate Training: Pepper is crate-trained and very well-behaved when asked to go to his crate. He can relax there for hours when needed. Feeding Habits: Pepper grazes and sometimes needs a little encouragement to finish his meals. He does best with patient humans who understand his quirks, and he never says no to high-value treats! Favorite Activities: Playing with toys, sniffing and exploring new places, receiving tummy rubs, and spending quality time with his people. He loves exploring outdoors and can go on long walks that have plenty of nature for him to sniff and smile through Pepper’s Personality and NeedsPepper is a wonderful companion who warms up quickly to people, but his anxious nature makes him easily overwhelmed by other dogs. He is leash-reactive and will bark when other dogs come near, not out of aggression but from fear and a desire to protect himself. While he’s made progress with training, he will need continued, consistent support from an adopter who is experienced with reactive dogs or willing to learn. Pepper is currently taking Fluoxetine (Prozac) to manage his anxiety. You can consult with a veterinarian to reassess his medication usage or dosage, especially if a more suitable alternative is found or if he no longer requires it after ongoing training contributes to his progress. He thrives in a quiet, low-stress environment where he can decompress and enjoy life without frequent encounters with other dogs. Apartment living has been challenging for him, as he enjoys long walks or time outdoors, so a home with a private yard or in a less dog-heavy area would be ideal. Pepper has no bite history and shows no aggression toward people, but he values his personal space. He prefers not to be touched by strangers, although he has been successfully muzzle-trained to make vet visits and grooming easier. Training and ProgressPepper has worked with professional trainers and a canine behaviorist to address his reactivity and leash manners. While his journey is ongoing, he’s shown great potential with the right guidance. He knows how to walk at a distance from other dogs but struggles when they come too close. With time, love, and patience, Pepper’s confidence can continue to grow. The Perfect Home for PepperPepper will thrive in a calm, understanding home with adopters who are dedicated to continuing his training. A family with no other pets would be the best fit, as Pepper needs space to feel safe and secure. A private yard, quiet neighborhood, or rural setting would be a dream for this sweet boy. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will bring joy and love to your life, Pepper is ready to meet you.  Ready to Meet Pepper?Pepper’s future family will need to be committed to helping him feel safe and supported, but the bond you’ll share with this special boy will be worth every effort.  Apply for him here: ##1838028##
