Australian Shepherds enjoy human companionship and will be a loyal sidekick wherever you go.
Australian Shepherds are ntelligent, loving, protective, independent and active. Bred to herd sheep, these dogs have endless wells of energy that needs to be depleted through daily exercise. A bored Australian Shepherd may invent games of its own, but these dogs are obedient and loyal to their families. If you live an active lifestyle, this dog may be right for you. Luckily, if you live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, you don't have to go all the way to Australia to find one. You can find Australian Shepherd puppies in your own backyard.
Instructions
1. Search for Australian Shepherd breeders in your area. Use the internet to find lists of breeders in Oklahoma. The American Kennel Club website is a good resource. Local kennel clubs can also recommend Australian Shepherd breeders, so look them up as well. Purchase a puppy from a reputable breeder to ensure that your puppy is healthy.
2. Look through classified ads to see if anyone in your area has Australian Shepherd puppies for sale. Other owners in Tulsa may have litters that need homes. Purchase a puppy from one of these litters to save money (they will likely be cheaper than breeder puppies), but ask about the puppies' parentage, health and personality to date.
3. Visit the Tulsa Animal Shelter. Ask if they have Australian Shepherd puppies (or even young adults) available for adoption. Adopting from the shelter can save you money and save a puppy's life.
4. Browse the dogs available at local no kill shelters. Ask if any Australian Shepherd puppies are available. Find these shelters online, or visit pet stores such as PetSmart on Saturday. Shelters bring animals to these stores on weekends to try and find homes for them. Use online resources, such as Petfinder.com, to search for Australian Shepherd puppies for adoption near your zip code.
