Location: South Central MO | I'm looking for a mini aussie for my daughter to take back to college. We are thinking that an adult would be perferable to a puppy at this time in her life, maybe a breeder who is retiring an adult dog? She is an Animal Science/Pre-Vet student at Oklahoma State University and will be a junior this year. We have held out long enought and agreed to let her get the dog of her dreams, now we just need to find one for her! Either sex would be fine, crate trained and house trained perferably. We live on a small farm and have some horses. Wow, feels like I'm writing up a "Singles Wanted" ad, LOL!
Is there anyone out there that can help or know of someone? Finding an adult is much more challenging that looking for a puppy. Thanks in advance for all leads!!! |

Location: TN | No leads on a puppy, but I just had to say GO POKES! I graduated from OSU in 2010. Hope your daughter finds the perfect dog and enjoys her time in Stillwater.  |

 Own It and Move On
Location: The edge of no where | I adopted an older girl last summer, because my toy aussie has some age on him. She adapted really quickly and is in great health. (She was 8 when I got her.) I've also raised them from puppies, they're super high energy little hoodlums until they're about 2-3. I think she makes the 3rd one that my family has adopted when they were 3-4 years old that needed a new home for various reasons.
When I lived in an apartment, I had 1....and I had to be religious to walk her every morning before work (then she went to work with me)...and then we went to the barn.
LOVE these dogs, they're incredibly smart. It made me so sad to see several in rescue groups. I'd check there to start out.

Location: South Central MO | I have just begun to look into rescue groups, I had no idea this was going to be like looking for a needle in a hay stack! Thanks for your input! |

| I agree with looking into rescue groups and getting the word out there possibly via facebook. |

| I've seen a few on there from out of state. Ideally it'd be best to meet them first but there are a lot of groups out there that will transfer rescues too if you're interested in a rescue doggy out of state! |

Location: Gainesville, TX | My sister does this occasionally with her older females. She also knows a ton of people who do it. If you are interested I can PM you her information. If she doesn't have one, she should know someone who does. |
