Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (medium coat). Meet Jasper! This happy, exuberant little dog is ready to brighten your days â once he feels safe and comfortable. Jasper absolutely loves his walks; his tail starts wagging the moment he hears the leash jingle! He walks nicely on leash with little to no pulling and enjoys exploring the world by your side. At home, Jasper is house trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and likes to quietly follow his people from room to room. However, Jasper is very nervous around new people and will need plenty of time, space, and patience to adjust in his new home. Once he trusts you, his sweet and affectionate personality begins to shine, and he becomes a gentle, loving companion whoâs happiest simply being near you. Jasper is looking for a calm, understanding home that will let him set the pace as he learns to feel secure. If you have the patience to help a shy pup blossom into his best self, Jasper will reward you with a lifetime of quiet loyalty and love.

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).
