About Topanga

Meet Topanga, a charming 6-month-old Australian Shepherd currently living in Richmond, VA. She weighs 45 lbs now and is expected to reach around 50–60 lbs as an adult. Topanga has a short coat and is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, and she’s been dewormed. As a young pup, she’s eager to learn and socialization is key, so her new family should be committed to ongoing training. Topanga loves playing with other dogs, which makes her a great addition to a home with canine companions. Please note that she isn’t house trained yet, so patience and guidance will be helpful in this area. While she hasn't been spayed yet, that can be scheduled with one of our approved clinics when she is old enough, and the cost is included in her adoption fee of $375. This fee also covers vaccinations and her microchip. Make sure you’re within a reasonable distance of Richmond or Virginia Beach, as we ask adopters to use our clinics for spay/neuter services. Topanga is excited to find a loving home and you could be the perfect fit. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
