Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (short coat). Pepper is a male Australian Shepherd (Blue Heeler), born in March 2025. He’s going to be on the small side in terms of size, but he is XL in terms of loyalty, heart and intelligence. Pepper is shy when he first meets new people, but once he gets to know you, his tail pops up and just keeps waggin’. He is house trained if kept in his crate at night, although since he’s still young, he might need some support in his new home in that area. Pepper is in the cue to be neutered, but he needs to be a little bit older. He’s very sweet and wants nothing more than someone to love. Adoption fee $350 This covers the cost of spay/neuter, DHPP, Rabies, Flea, tick, heart worm check, worm treatment, and microchip. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application. Go to: rutherfordcountyhumanesociety/dog-adoption-application/ We are located in Western North Carolina. Optional transport is weekly. After your application is approved, we will contact you regarding cost and delivery if you so desire.

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).
