Find the Individual Dog Who Fits Your Home

Private Australian Shepherd Adoption Across the USA and Canada

Australian Shepherds are intelligent, active, people-oriented herding dogs, but every dog is an individual. Pet Rehoming Network profiles help adopters learn about the actual dog’s personality, routines, training, health, activity level, experience with children and other pets, and ideal home.

Pet Rehoming Network is an owner-assisted, home-to-home rehoming service, not a shelter or rescue. Dogs remain with their owners throughout rehoming. Suitable prospective adopters can meet the dog and owner, and the owner chooses the adopter.
