About Aspen

Aspen is a special Australian Shepherd in need of a loving home. At four years old, this medium-sized merle beauty is not just friendly with other dogs but also great with cats. She thrives best in a household that has another confident dog to help guide her, as she didn’t have the best socialization during her puppyhood. Aspen's owners must have dog experience to support her ongoing training. Her dedication to learn and ability to follow commands make her a promising companion. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Though she isn't completely house trained yet, Aspen is eager to bond with a family that understands her needs.
