Shelter Aussies
View the dogs below. Click on their pictures to see a larger image. We hope to help shelter dogs find good homes, so we post as many as we can. Some are temperament tested, some are not. If you have toddlers or young children, we do not suggest adopting an Aussie straight from the shelter. Shelter dogs are all URGENT. Please go to the shelter to learn about these dogs.
Aussies
Cody
Cody was surrendered to the Alameda Animal Shelter due to family illness. He's a 4 year old blue merle, neutered, raised with cats and is afraid of children.
He pulls a little on the leash when excited and plays with cats. He's housebroken and has good house manners. He goes to the dog park every morning and has good doggie friends.
He will lick his front paw until it is raw...it's caused by anxiety and called a lick granuloma. He's been prescribed an ointment and antibiotics and Providence West Vet Hospital in Alameda has his records. I can talk to anyone about this medical issue...it's manageable!

She loves attention and has the typical energy level of a young Aussie. She would love to live with older children, and is scared of cats. She doesn't mind other dogs when in group play, and is a typical, pushy Aussie!

Goofy
0804k025- Goofy - 1 year old, male, Australian shepherd/ Border collie Description: Wow, he couldnt have been given a better name for his personality. Goofy came to us in April 2008 along with 9 other dogs from a shelter in Merced where they were all at high risk of being euthanized. Hes Mr. Personality and he is ready to charm his way into his new home. Goofy does not seem to have been leash trained and zig zags in front of you while you walk him. He also didnt appear to know any commands, but when I sat down to teach him sit, it took him minutes to get it down. If you find the right treat and are consistent with him, anything is possible! Goofy met a male dog and a female dog here, the male he growled at and didnt seem too pleased to be around; the female he initiated play with and jumped around and pawed at her. In that case, Goofy cant go to a home with any male dogs, but females will be fine. He met that other male before being neutered and Im sure that will help, but just to be safe, keep it female for this guy. Goofy was introduced to our shelter cats and just followed them around sniffing them, I think in a comfortable setting he would chase cats and wouldnt put him in a home with any. He was just so interested in the cats here, and taking his breed mix into account, it just doesnt add up to being a cat friendly dog. Goofy would be great for a home with kids over eight. Im sure he would love to herd some small kids and sometimes can get too excited and jump up. Some sturdy, dog experienced kids would be ideal for this bouncy guy. Goofy is just plain fun and in the right home, his personality will shine.

Shep
0804k026- Shep - 4 year old, male, Australian shepherd/ border collie Description: Shep is a very handsome, lovely dog. He came to us in April 2008 along with 9 other dogs from a shelter in Merced where they were all at high risk of being euthanized. Shep is such a cool guy. Hes so laid back and relaxed for his breed mix! I couldnt believe it. Shep knows a few commands including sit, down and stay. Shep is VERY smart, he wont be difficult to train further. Usually with this breed I would say hed need a highly active home, but he seems so mellow. If youre considering taking Shep home, you should be aware that there is a chance he wont be so calm in your home after hes comfortable, and be prepared for a classic herding dog personality. Shep met some dogs here and was fine with them, hes more interested in people than anything else, including cats. I had to force him to look at a cat when I brought them to meet him, he just stared at me the whole time asking me to pet him. when I finally got him to look at the cat he couldnt have cared less! A multiple pet home will be fine for him. Shep would be great in a home with kids of any age, the only concern is the herding instinct. Because of that he should go to a home with kids over five, toddlers are fun to herd! Shep is a sweet, good natured, gentleman that deserves to be treated with the same respect he treats us with. A home where hes allowed inside with his family, but still has plenty of playtime would be ideal for him.
