Australian Shepherd, Mixed Breed
🇺🇸
Fort Collins, Colorado
March 23rd
female, medium, adult
DESCRIPTION
Say hello to Kelly, one small but feisty Australian Shepherd looking for her forever home. Though practically still a puppy herself at just over a year old, she has already had a litter of puppies. She just recently finished weaning them and is ready to continue being a puppy and growing into a cherished family member in a new forever home.
She does very well on the leash as she loves to sniff everything while on walks. Kelly also loves to go for car rides, soaking in all of the scenery and smells during the ride. Kelly loves cuddling with her humans and the friendship of a K9 companion. She is very intelligent and ready to learn.
Kelly is house trained yet not crate trained. She will need training to learn basic commands. Kelly is also a master escape artist as well as a sock thief. Any home will need to ensure to provide abundant enrichment such as exercise, training, games and shredable/defluffing toys to keep her focus away from your slippers, socks, glasses, and remotes.
She would do well with a family that can take her for walks and has another dog that she can play, chase and share zoomies. She loves to play in the yard with her big foster sister that is twice her size. Always happy to meet a new person or dog, she does have high prey drive for squirrels and rabbits. She is unknown with cats.
Kelly is currently offsite in a foster and would love to meet you and your family. Once you meet her you will fall for this adorable munchkin.
ABOUT: AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD DOG BREED
The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
