Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (medium coat). Hi there! My name’s Koa, and I’m one happy boy! I wake up every day ready to play, explore, and meet new friends—because honestly, I’ve never met a person or dog I didn’t like. I’ve got a big smile and a wagging tail that never quits. My favorite things in the whole world are going on walks, feeling the breeze in my fur, and running along the beach with my paws in the sand. I’m full of energy, love, and sunshine, and I can’t wait to share it all with a family who’s ready for adventure (and maybe a few sandy paw prints too!). If you are interested in meeting Koa, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and email it back to us at infofarescue or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions. [Koa is 6 months old and weighs 35 lbs.] (2510)

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).
