Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Allen, Texas

Meet Daisy Dukes: The Independent Farm Helper Introducing Daisy Dukes, also known as Daisy Collerville. Rescued from a hoarding case, Daisy is a nine-year-old, 60-pound shepherd mix who thrives on having her own space. Although she's feral and prefers to keep her distance from people, she would be a perfect fit for a farm where she can put her excellent perimeter-walking skills to use. Daisy is a natural at keeping predators off your property and would be a valuable asset in a farm setting. She gets along well with chickens and cats, and she's generally good with other dogs. While she's fine with people, she prefers to stay away and enjoy her independence. Given her background and feral nature, Daisy currently lives in boarding due to her fear of people. She would do great on a fenced-in farm where she can roam freely and enjoy the barn life without the risk of wandering off. Daisy is looking for a special sponsor to help cover her boarding costs and ensure she continues to live comfortably. If you have a farm and are looking for a hardworking helper who's good with animals and prefers her own space, Daisy Dukes is your girl. If you're interested in sponsoring Daisy and helping her live a safe and happy life, please consider supporting her today.

Berne, means 'bear-like' and this boy is so cute and has the waddle of a bear! As cute as he was we noticed something else was going on with this boy besides being a tail-less wonder. His back end seemed smooshed. We got him checked out, after x-rays and evaluation he has a compressed spine. This is common in some breeds. We don't know his breed but it will be something he has forever. He is not in pain and still acts like a normal puppy. As he gets a little bigger, we will see if there are any remedies or treatments that might help him but we do suspect he will live a happy life and would be an awesome addition to any family. He may need to be in household with older kids so he doesn't get knocked around. He is potty trained. He is doing great with crate and leash training. He loves tug of war, bully sticks and pestering his older foster siblings. He has spurts of energy a couple times a day, doesn't last long and otherwise very chill! Vet suspects he will get to 30 pounds. This sweet boy was found as a stray in a park.

Meet Hickory: The Sweet and Anxious Companion in Need of Patience and Love Introducing Hickory, a one-year-old (almost two!) male pup who weighs 28 pounds. Adopted as a puppy and returned, Hickory has some "stranger danger and fear barking, but he's working hard with a trainer to become more socialized and less fearful. Hickory is looking for a potential adopter willing to go through this process with him, as well as a sponsor to help support his training costs. Hickory can be nervous when new people come into the home, making him an anxiety dog who needs a calm and understanding environment. He has a tendency to super attach to his people, and with the right family, he has the potential to be an amazing pet. He previously lived with children and did great with them, though the busyness of the house was overwhelming for him. A calmer household would be ideal for Hickory. This little guy is great on a leash and needs a secure harness as he has the potential to be a flight risk. He's super sweet and loving to the people in the home, and he gets along wonderfully with other dogs. We're not sure how he would do with cats, but his gentle nature suggests he might do well with proper introductions. Hickory's adopter will benefit from a complimentary training session to continue his progress. If you're looking for a loving, loyal, and sweet companion who needs a bit of patience and understanding, Hickory is your boy. Adopt Hickory today and give him the loving home he deserves, or consider sponsoring him to help support his training and care. With your help, Hickory can overcome his fears and thrive in a calm, loving environment.

We got Scout as a puppy, along with his brother Buddy. They're turning 6 this October. He is a spunky, silly and affectionate dog. He is really really patient kids and good with adults. He is vocal and takes protecting the family seriously, but he is friendly with everyone, sweet and loves to love. He is smart and loves walks and playing. We are hopeful to find him a family that will love him a lot and care for him well. He would make a fun and loving companion. We are so sad to have to say goodbye but our family has grown and has extra special needs and we're unable to care for him anymore.

Duke has completed a long term training program and is now ready for the next chapter of his life. Duke was not treated well in the past and was pretty feral when we got him, but has come a long way in learning that humans can be nice. Duke is extremely cautious of new situations, people, & other dogs. It is my belief based on working with him for the past 2 years that Duke was completely feral & much less accepting of human interaction that originally believed. Once Duke gives you his trust, he is affectionate, playful, & fun to interact with. If pushed too hard, too fast, Duke will shut down temporarily & re-emerge when he is ready. Although Duke has no known bite history it is believed that if placed in an extremely stressful situation where he felt trapped, he would go into self-preservation defense mode, so he needs a very specific home. This sweet boy is extremely cautious with new people. Slow introductions & trust building helps him to willingly approach people he has been introduced to. Duke has exhibited same interest and disinterest to both men and women. No children under the age of 14yrs is recommended. He does not do well with younger high energy children. Duke has been dog selective. He has done best with female dogs but has accepted & played with male dogs that were established in the home when he arrived. Slow introductions strongly recommended. He has shown no prey drive including barn cats & chickens near but not easily accessible Duke has shown extremely limited interest in balls, stuffed toys, and chew toys but is an extremely athletic dog who can climb 6ft fencing. Smooth wood privacy fencing is required. Duke is 4 years old, neutered, current on immuizations and on preventatives. If you think this boy is a good fit for you and that you want to give him the life he deserves, please fill out the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

Shyla is a 4 year-old loving and energetic Australian shepherd. She belonged to my father-in-law who passed away suddenly a few months ago. We have fostered her for a few months but are unable to keep her. She is spayed, has had all her shots, and is on a monthly flea preventative. We are hoping to find her a new home where she can get a lot of exercise, love, and attention.

Aloof doesn’t even begin to explain it!  Meet Miro - wonderdog and wonderful dog   Miro is a 2-3 year old purebred Aussie. And no, he isn’t ignoring you - he’s just a little extra special and deaf   Miro is the result of some bad breeding but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad dog, he’s the sweetest ball of energy you’ll ever meet!  Miro would love to find a home where he is either an only dog or with a dog who is just as playful as he is. Miro doesn’t understand the largeness of his bark and when he gets excited with other dogs he can be quite chatty!  Miro is house trained, crate trained and is doing well on a harness vs a leash.  Miro just needs someone willing to look past the fact he’s deaf and realise he’s a brilliant dog who wants his own brilliant home!!

BEAUTIFUL BELOVED BFF BAILEY Bailey is a super-sweet young adult purebred Aussie in need of a new forever home. Her owner passed  a few months ago and her other owner had to move into Assisted Living. Bailey has never met a stranger! She is very friendly and lovable. She is particularly great when playing in the yard because she doesn’t bark at people jogging, driving, walking by. She just wants to run around and try to catch squirrels then flop down on the patio to soak up some rays. Bailey would love to be someone’s only dog. She is very well-behaved inside, housebroken, doesn’t need a crate and is happy just to chill by her humans most of the time.  Bailey loves going on walks, hiking, exploring and other outdoor activities. She’s a very moderate energy level indoors and doesn’t require constant attention; she’s more of a companion dog and would love someone who is home to hang out with her. Bailey is gentle with people of all ages; she hasn’t lived with young children so we aren’t sure that would be the best placement. However Bailey would be great with older kids and or a large male companion dog If there is one. She’s one of few Aussies we get who would also be content to be the only dog. Bailey is smart and affectionate. She is a free-spirit and needs a high privacy fence because her curious nature might allow her to try and get out and about. However, she’s not a door-darter, she doesn’t try to leave from indoors and definitely wants to stick by her people.  If you’ve been looking for a happy, easygoing young adult Aussie Bailey is probably a perfect match!

He’s a smart and funny well-socialized mini Aussie who’s in need of a New Forever home. Taz is a very happy, sociable little guy. We would love to find him a home with a canine companion. A larger young female or another submissive male who is also energetic and eager to play would be perfect. Taz gets along great with other dogs big and small. He loves kids but is still active and can be a jumper so we are looking for a home without young children. Taz is housebroken and likes cuddling on the bed at night. He has no problem sleeping on the floor if it suits his new owners and if not permitted on other furniture he will obey. He definitely loves to snuggle if he can be on a sofa or bed with his peeps. Taz has been responsive to training in his foster home. He’s been working on Sit, Come and Stay as well as leash training. He is a good student and eager to please; Tax thrives on positive reinforcement and in typical Aussie style he wants to be wherever his humans are! In his foster home Tax is enjoying 3 walks a day. He knows how to use a doggie-door and might decide to grab a quick nap outside. On walks Taz seems to really enjoy the new sights and smells and he will be completely leash trained very quickly. Taz is in need of a new home by no fault of his own; his owners have new, much more time-consuming jobs and they know Taz deserves the time and attention he used to have. Taz’s foster adores him and says “he will make a wonderful addition to any family.” He is sad it can't be his haha - but Taz needs someone more active.
