Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (medium coat). How to Adopt This Sweet Special Needs Aussie boy is patiently waiting for special home. Snoopy is deaf, so he needs a home that can help him learn sign language and basic skills. He is only 7 months old and weighs about 35 pounds. He will sit for you, sleeps well in a crate for 5-6 hours. He uses the doggie door politely with the other dogs. Snoopy currently lives with 6 other dogs and is doing well with all but the cranky senior. He is just too much for the senior and since he doesn’t hear, it is more difficult for our senior boy to give an appropriate response without getting too upset. Snoopy needs a calmer home. He plays very well with the smaller dog his size and they do Aussie Play for hours. He likes balls and benebones. Snoopy is neutered and up to date on shots and has 5 months of heartworm preventative. He must go to a most wonderful home, so we will need references. Please call Shirley at 575-491-9577 if you are interested. We will try to watch for comments, however, a message, text or call would be best.

Overview:
The Australian Shepherd, despite its name, actually originated in the western United States during the 19th century, bred primarily for herding livestock on ranches. These striking dogs are medium-sized with a sturdy build, often sporting captivating merle coats (blue or red) and piercing blue, amber, or marbled eyes, sometimes with two different colors (heterochromia). Known for their exceptional intelligence and high energy, Aussies possess a strong work drive and thrive on having a "job" to do, whether it's agility, obedience, or extensive exercise. Their temperament is generally loyal, affectionate, and good-natured with their families, though they can be reserved with strangers. Due to their high exercise requirements and need for mental stimulation, they are best suited for active families or individuals with ample outdoor space and a commitment to training; apartment living is generally not ideal. Potential owners should also be aware of common health concerns like hip and elbow dysplasia and certain eye conditions, including Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) and Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA).
