Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $250. Hi! My name is Teddy Murphy and I’m a super handsome, super fun little guy. I’m looking for my forever home! I am around 7 years old, but I’m also a mini-aussie, so 7 for me seems more like 3 or 4 for another breed I still have lots of energy and I love to play. “Chase” is one of my favorite games with my doggy friends! I am active and would be a great hiking buddy. I have excellent recall so once we’re bonded, you can take me anywhere and I’ll come back when you want me! I love love love my human. My foster mom is currently my favorite person in the universe and I want to be with her all the time. When she is gone, I am sad. Separation Anxiety? Maybe a little. But it’s not that serious. I will settle when I learn that you are always coming back for me. I still want to be with you all the time, but I’m a little less obsessive after a while. And I mean, who wants a chill guy, anyway? Don’t you WANT me to want to be with you? I can be left out while you are away, I’m a good boy. Of course, you’ll probably want to ease into that. I am crate trained, but don’t leave me in that cage with a bed or blanket if you’re not around. I will show my displeasure by destroying said “comfort” item. But if you ARE home and I’m just napping in my crate, the bed or blanket will be fine. I am great with dogs of all sizes, though I have been know to resource guard both my toys and my human…just a little. Again, it’s not that serious. Especially if you make it clear that’s unacceptable. I’m super duper smart and I want to please you. I haven’t been around cats or kids. I do love to bark at squirrels so kitties might be a no. Children over 8 should be fine for me. If you think I could be the handsome boy for you, apply to meet me today at bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication

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).
