She is being placed by her family into a home, and we are only the advertiser for this placement. ******************* From her home to yours--this is Sybbie, a five year old mini-Australian Shepherd whose family asked for help with rehoming. She is five years old, spayed, and we have asked that she be updated with her rabies vaccine before any meet and greets with new families. Sybbie is NOT at the shelter, as she would be stressed too greatly in that environment. Sybbie is not the perfect pet for just anyone, and her family was honest with her issues that mean she will need a most select home.

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).
