Animal Information: Bernie and Bianca were born on 11/19/2025 and came to a Bakersfield, California shelter with their mom, dad, and littermates. The whole family caught a freedom ride to Washington, where our rescue partner reached out for help placing some of the puppies.
Mom and Dad are beautiful, purebred Australian Shepherds with wonderful temperaments and engaging personalities. Bernie and Bianca are already showing the intelligence and drive typical of their breed.
These pups will thrive in active homes, ideally with adopters who have herding breed experience (or a strong interest in learning) and a commitment to training, mental stimulation, and enrichment. With the right guidance, they'll make incredible companions.
Foster Profile:
Bernie is a bright and busy Australian Shepherd puppy who is quick to respond when called. He is smart and a bit of an escape artist. Bernie loves to play ball and he'll chase again and again. After a good play he's content to settle down and chill. His potty training is still a work in progress. With about 50%% of his business happening outdoors, he's right on track for his age, and it shows he's trying. With positive, consistent training, he'll continue to improve.
Bernie would thrive in an active home that enjoys playtime, mental stimulation, and helping a clever puppy grow into an amazing companion.
