Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (long coat). Shiloh is a 1–2 year old Australian Shepherd mix weighing about 59 lbs, and he is pure love wrapped in fluff. This boy is incredibly affectionate and happiest when he’s right by his people’s side (or in their lap if you let him try!). His favorite thing in the world? Tummy rubs. If you stop petting him, expect a gentle nudge to keep them coming. He’s house trained, knows how to sit, and is very treat motivated, which makes training a breeze. He’s still learning some basic manners, like not jumping up when he’s excited, but he responds well to gentle corrections and is eager to please. Shiloh does okay in the crate once he settles, though he prefers to be with his people. Shiloh is great with kids and other dogs, making him a wonderful family dog. He’s currently working on getting more comfortable in the car, and will do well with patience and positive reinforcement. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal best friend who will happily trade tummy rubs for unconditional love, Shiloh is ready to meet you! apply at projecthopearf

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).
