Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (medium coat). Leo is a strikingly handsome boy with a shy, thoughtful nature. Heâs a sensitive dog who takes his time getting comfortable in new situations, but once he feels safe, his sweet personality quietly shines through. Leo seems avoidant around other dogs and may do best as the only dog in the home, where he doesnât have to navigate social situations that make him uncomfortable. With people, heâs gentle but reserved and will need a patient adopter willing to help him build confidence with strangers at his own pace. Because of this, any kids in the home should be 10+. If youâre searching for a devoted companion who will blossom with patience, kindness, and love, Leo could be the perfect match! * Avoidant of other dogs - may not want a canine roommate * Kids 10+ mandantory

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).
