Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (long coat). Stella is a 9 month old, 33 lb Mini Aussie. She was in a home with another dog who decided to pick on her, so she was surrendered in hopes to find her a home where she can be safe and continue to be loved by a family. She has been good with humans including kids and other dogs, although at this time we anticipate needing to place her into a single dog home. We will continue to allow her to decompress and re-evaluate other dogs in the future, but for now we will be looking for an only dog home. She is kennel and potty trained. Apply to meet Stella at .k911foundation/adopt Stella is spayed, up to date on vaccines, current on prevention, and microchipped.

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).
