Is it possible to adopt an Australian Shepherd puppy?

Answer by  Zaka (2315)

Yes. This is true for any puppy of any breed. Adopting them after weaned, ten to fifteen weeks is usually best.

Yes. However, dogs that are purebred are pretty hard to come by in places like shelters so you should put your name on a list at your local shelter in case one comes along. There are also breed rescues that will rescue purebred dogs you can adopt.

Australian Shepherd puppies can be bought from breeders. However, they can also be adopted from rescue organizations, shelters and pounds. You can visit either www. petfinder. com or www. adoptapet. com. These sites allow you to search for Australian Shepherd puppies. Contrary to what most people think, there are many purebred animals in rescues and shelters.

Australian sheperds are a mix of an australian and american dog. In the US, there are no laws preventing the adoption of these dogs, so the answer is yes.

Yes, if your lucky. This has become a popular breed that unfortunately, as with all dogs, show up at a shelter or the Humane Society.
