About Gallagher

Gallagher is a playful, 4-month-old puppy with an Australian Shepherd mom and, most likely, a Great Pyrenees dad. That combo means he’s bound to be clever, quick to learn, and full of energy. He’ll need an active family ready to keep him busy so boredom never has a chance to set in. Like many dogs from herding and working breeds, Gallagher thrives when he’s got a job or some fun to burn off that puppy curiosity. He’s not yet house trained and will need consistent guidance as he grows, but the right household will love the goofy, adventurous energy he brings. For Gallagher, daily walks and playtime are a must—he won’t be happy being left to his own devices for long stretches. If you’ve got the time, enthusiasm, and space for a growing, smart pup, Gallagher could be a great fit. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
