Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (medium coat). My name is Bandit and I am a tricolor & black australian shepherd. I am an intact male (I will be neutered before I am adopted) and I am 7 months old. I am here because I was given up by my owner on 09/30/2025 due to the fact my owner did not have time to care for me due to their busy schedule. It became obvious I was very bored and anxious being left along a lot. They were my family for 2 months. I am used to living inside during the day and the night. I am potty trained. I am a high energy dog who will need lots and lots of exercise, which is very common for my breed. We were originally bred to work with our farmer companions ALL DAY LONG so we love exercise and play. I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience, but it is recommended you research the Australian Shepherd breed before pursuing my adoption. I am used to staying in crates when I am alone or need to be safely contained. I typically walk nicely on a leash, but I will also pull/tug if something catches my attention. I would do well with simple obedience training to help us bond and for us to learn how to communicate with each other. I am used to having a fenced yard to run in, but it is not required for you to have a home with a fence to adopt me. You would just need to be very committed to lots of walks and exercise for us to do together. I can be good with men and women, although I'm timid when I meet new people and take a while to warm up. I've never been aggressive, I'm just very bashful meeting new people. My owner said my favorite type of human is children! I like them even better than adults and love playing with them. I can be good with cats and I love to play with other dogs. My owner also said I'm a huge goofball who loves to run, play with my toys, get attention, go for car rides, and spend time outside.

Breed overview

Australian Shepherd
Overview:
The Australian Shepherd is intelligent and very loyal to his owner. He's a working dog, though, so he does best when his owner gives him a job to do ' such as herding livestock.
