Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 300.00. Please go to our website for all specific information about this dog. Our info doesn't transfer over to adoption sites. McKinley is a beautiful Aussie boy who we pulled from a local shelter after several of this relatives/companions we confiscated in a cruelty case. He only weighed 18 pounds when they got him and he's 28 now. He's a bit shy but very sweet. He would do best in a more calm home. He's crate trained and doing well on a schedule for potty breaks. We kept him on leash initially as he wouldn't come to anyone at first. Once he settled in, he's been great. Who can give this doll the life he always deserved? He would likely do best if he had a nice dog friend in his new home also to help him adjust to the new home as he's always been used to having a lot of dogs around. Prior to adoption, our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and parasite treated/prevented.

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).
