RANGER - AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (long coat). Ranger is an Australian Shepherd. Athletic and energetic? He’ll wow you with his speed and agility. Attentive and loyal? Ranger is the prototypical “Velcro Aussie” and craves connection and guidance from his people. Wariness of strangers? Ranger is slow to warm up to new people and requires careful and deliberate introductions. Once he is comfortable, Ranger is as sweet, silly, loving, and affectionate as can be. He loves snuggling into trusted people and never wanders far. He enjoys playing with the herding ball, hiking with his foster siblings, and running. He’s smart and very food motivated so picking up new commands is a breeze. Ranger will do best in a home prepared to meet his exercise and enrichment needs. He’ll need ongoing training and socialization to help him continue to build confidence. Having a confident dog in the home to play with would be a huge help but is not strictly necessary. A home with a small, consistent cast of adults would be ideal. Ranger is currently working with a trainer to help build his socialization and confidence.
