Alaska (FKA Shiloh) - Australian Shepherd and Siberian Husky Dog for Adoption in Aldie, Virginia

Hello, I'm Shiloh! I'm ready to be your one and only!

Fun fact about my Australian Shepherd breed! One-in-five of my breed is born with a naturally bobbed tail! So I'm kinda of a big deal with my super cute short tail! I love to play and romp and entertain you with my playfulness! Afterward, we could go on long walks and you could help me learn how to walk better on the leash. I'll point out all the unfamiliar smells on our walks and help you get your steps in each day! It's a win for us both!

I'd much prefer walking on trails than in a neighborhood where I might come across other canines. My social skills are rusty so I could really benefit from an adopter with experience training me how to walk better on a leash. I love walks oh so much!

Once I get my wiggles out, I'd be happy to snuggle in your lap for cuddles! I know "sit and "down and "paw! I do love people and can be very affectionate, but at home I would thrive with having you all to myself!

When it's time for bed, I'm okay sleeping in a crate. Or if you have to leave me during the day, I can handle that too. I'll be fine until it's time to head outside and do my business! Oh and I really hope you have one of those soft brushes to keep me handsome! My fluffy fur changes twice a year and I could really use your help making sure I look my best!

My last parents said I got upset around food or toys. I hope you don't mind letting me dine alone. I'd do best without canine or feline siblings so I don't have to share toys or treats. I'd really like a second chance and with the right home, I know I can be a good boy! Won't you give me a chance to show my best qualities and be patient to help me improve in other areas?
