Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (long coat). Click Here to Sponsor Me! Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed/adoption-application ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet. Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed/adoption-process Kiki is one of our newest rescues that came as a stray but we’re sure her humans just never came back for her. She’s approx 1 year old and around 45lbs and embodies the true personality of an Australian Shepherd (smart, eager to please, and very affectionate). Aussies aren’t for the faint of heart and are an “acquired taste” of a dog breed. Basically if you’re okay with her constantly licking your face, asking for attention and affection, and endless laughs and adventures, Kiki is your girl. She’s not the type of dog you leave in the yard or leave behind when you head to work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day… she won’t approve it. She needs to see you and be near you and hope you let her ride shot gun in the car ride over. She’s the main character of the show and she’ll happily greet every dog and person as if they’ve met before. Apply to meet Kiki at .muttsinneed/adoption-application.html

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).
