    I love the breed. Australian Shepherds are a special dog. They are beautiful and so smart and I want to preserve their breed.

    I couldn’t be happier with my experience with this “breeder.” I have breeder in quotations because they care much more that their dogs go to loving family’s than most breeders out there! From the very beginning, they were knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely passionate about their dogs. You can tell immediately that they put a lot of care into raising healthy, well-socialized puppies. My dog, Ozzie, has been an absolute dream—smart, friendly, confident, and everything I hoped for. His temperament is incredible, and it’s clear he came from a nurturing, well-run environment. The breeder kept me updated throughout the process, answered every question I had, and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a responsible breeder who truly cares about the dogs they raise, I can’t recommend them enough. Ozzie has been the perfect addition to my life, and I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful breeder.

    We had a wonderful experience with So Fetch Aussies. Dominique was very quick to respond to our messages. She allowed us to come visit the puppies in her home at 5 weeks. We were able to meet the mom , dad , older brother and all of the litter. It was so great to see that they were in a loving home w amazing humans! We came back at 8 weeks to pick up Frankie. She had her all cleaned up, packed up and ready to go. She included a puppy package w treats , food , toys , vet record and even a blanket w the scent of her litter. Our first few days have been so fun. We can tell the Frankie was loved and cuddled a lot. She slept through the night in her kennel. Seems so well adapted to her new home. Thank you Dominque!!! You did a great job and I would highly recommend you!

    A Heartfelt First-Time Adoption Experience As a first-time dog owner, I was naturally a bit apprehensive about the adoption process—but working with Dominique and Saffron Adoption completely put my mind at ease. From the very beginning, Dominique was incredibly patient and thoughtful, taking the time to coordinate a visit for us to meet the puppies and their parents. It was clear how much care and love had gone into raising them. We were even welcomed back for a second visit, which meant so much to us as we made this important decision. The entire process was smooth, transparent, and filled with warmth. What made it even more special was that this adoption was a surprise for my daughter—and thanks to Dominique’s help, everything was delivered exactly as planned. We’re so grateful to Saffron Adoption for helping us welcome our sweet new puppy into our family. It was a truly wonderful experience from start to finish.

    Lindsay and I have been wanting an Australian Shepherd puppy to explore the US with us for some time now. So Fetch Aussie’s was great with communication whether it be through their instagram or through this app. We always got helpful, honest, quick responses and when we finally met in person she was very kind and assuring. Our puppy and the litters parents were well kept and we were able to meet them all on site at Dominique’s home. We are so excited to have our little Summit (male red merle) with us and if you’d like to see him grow up he will be featured on TikTok and instagram page @nomadicby.nature
