Adopt a Australian Shepherd in District of Columbia

Australian Shepherds are smart, work-oriented, and exuberant herding dogs. They end up in rescue when families can't provide enough physical and mental exercise. An adopted Aussie will thrive with an active owner who gives them a job to do.

Washington DC's rescue dog community is highly active, with organizations across the District and immediate suburbs. Most DC rescues transport dogs from rural Southern shelters where euthanasia rates are higher. A rescued DC dog has typically traveled from another state to reach its new home.
