ASA DOGS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
Welcome to Australian Shepherd Advocates (ASA)! Enjoy scrolling through to see all the ASA Dogs currently available for adoption. Our main mission is to rescue herding breed dogs- including, of course, Aussies, but also Border Collies, Australian Cattle Dogs, and other herding breed mixes. (Occasionally, you will find dogs of other breeds in need, brought to us by ASA Team Members.)
Every ASA dog comes fully vetted according to veterinarian protocol for their age. Our adoption fee is $275-$325 unless otherwise stated for a specific dog. You can read about the dogs available for adoption here. ASA takes great care in describing the personality, temperament and needs of every dog. If you are interested in being considered as a possible adopter for one of our dogs, please fill out and submit an adoption application under "Adopting an ASA Dog" in the menu. Volunteer or paid transporters are usually available to help our dogs travel to their Forever home, depending on the dogs needs and their distance from the approved chosen adopter.

PINK
Introducing Pink! Pink is an approximately 3 month old, bobbytail double merle Australian Shepherd mix power puffette girlie of aussomeness.
Pinky Puff was born blind, hearing impaired-and all Aussie.
She's an original (OG) Powerpuff girl with all the herder babe superpowers- intelligence, personality, energy, and playfulness.
The mighty mite is blossoming in her fabulous Foster home with the family dogs, and Foster kitties (aren't they plush playpals?)
Pink's faves are puppy gold: play, toys, play with toys, run and play, hang out with playmates, look cute, act cute, be...Cute.
Lil Pink's house manners are in development and on schedule.
Pink's People? We are looking for a special home for the puffette-someone with experience in special needs is preferred. Her Family will be Aussie breed intelligence, active and prepared to be "all-in" with Pink's social, mental, and physical activities, enhancement and training. Dog savvy and dog respectful children 8 and up should do well. Pink also prefers a fence for herself. Another confident, socialized dog of similar temperament would be great. Please note: It is ASA policy to adopt each dog to separate approved homes.
If you have the time to give a pup and are ready to experience all that comes with a puppy, the joys and the training, as well as the possible normal growing 'oopsies' like chewing, potty accidents, and puppy nips or nibbles, please apply with that in mind.

FLUFF FLASH DASH
It's a Bounce! It's a Flash! It's a Fluff! He's all this and more! The happiest Dog on earth! We invite you to settle in and find out more.
"Fluff", aka Flash, aka "Bouncy Boi"! The magical, flashfastic, fantasmic, friendly, fun-loving approximately 2 year old, 60 pound, cutely pink nosed, Aussie mix boy!
There is NOTHING this full throttle, life affirming force isn't up for! Foster Dad calls the dynamo, "Bouncy". Foster Mom calls him "Flash". Everyone calls him Fluffernutter- Fluff. And ALWAYS call him a Happy Pooch!
Fluff is a what you see is what you get pup-up for everything-with everybody. He's a smarty pants who has a lot of Zoom-Zoom and is looking for someone to match his spirit. Being deaf (which he is) is a "by-the-way" afterthought for Mr. Fantasmic.
The smarty pooch of course, knows all the basic hand signals, but this Velcro people watcher has the innate Australian Shepherd ability to know what his Person wants and eagerly awaits the next direction. Foster Mom says Fluff is a "nanny dog"-all lover, watching over the smaller ones.
Fluff hangs out with his several foster canine sibs, enjoying backyard romps and games, and puppy pool parties!
The amiable fella is treat motivated and eager to please. Fluff does draw the line at sharing his food and prefers to eat in his own space. In fact, his love of speed and feed means a slow feeder bowl is a must.
As many bright boys with a lively spirit will, he becomes a "Fluff-knows-best" bossy boi if he is not given proper direction. Fluff is looking for a confident, experienced coach to guide him.
Since Fluff is high energy and is always thinking (always absorbing), he is looking for a confident, experienced herding breed coach to manage his super smarts and exuberant energy.
His Forever has had a deaf dog, or educated themselves on the joys and quirks of a dog like Fluff who hears with his heart. He needs a fenced in area to frolic (an exception may be possible for a very experienced adopter), and would love a canine friend with a similar temperament to frolic with. Fluff will do well in a home with children 8 and up who respect dogs.
Multiresidential buildings (such as apartments) are not a good fit for this boy.
The best adopters give their new family member time to decompress and grow familiar with a new environment and routine. They see the importance of investing time to understand their dog and build a bond of trust and provide steady, reasonable guidance and training. An adopter commits to slow and monitored introductions with new people, especially children, other animals, and new places.
Mr. Fantasmic dashed by with an Aussie grin, 'Hey Forever! Isn't life grand? I think it'd be better together, though. Let's make that heart connection!'
