Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd. Miss Nova is a 2-year-old sweetheart who may be slow to warm up at first, but once she trusts you, she is incredibly loving and devoted. She becomes a true velcro dog who wants nothing more than to be by your side and soak up all the snuggles. Nova is a smart girl who already knows several commands including sit, lay down, roll over, paw, up, and even an occasional twirl. She takes treats gently and has shown a sweet side with children as well. She prefers human attention over sharing the spotlight with other animals and may give a low growl if another pet gets too close to her face, simply asking for her space. Nova also has some nervous peeing when she feels unsure, so she will need a patient home that helps build her confidence. With time, love, and understanding, Miss Nova will be an incredibly loyal and affectionate companion. If you’re interested in meeting or adopting this dog, please fill out an application. They are fixed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, dewormed, on preventatives, and microchipped with lifetime registration. Adoption fee is $215 with an approved application.

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).
