Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (medium coat). This beautiful 1yo Australian Shepherd may be blind and deaf, but don’t tell her that — nothing slows her down! She can partially see shadows through one eye, has an AMAZING nose, and navigates the world with confidence, joy, and resilience. She has already learned several touch-based cues including sit, down, calm, and good, and she absolutely thrives with guidance, routine, and love. She is incredibly smart, playful, affectionate, and full of personality. A few things about this special girl: LOVES other dogs and would thrive with playful canine friends Sometimes pesters dogs to keep playing, so she needs owners willing to advocate and help her settle NOT good with cats OBSESSED with water — kiddie pools, sprinklers, buckets… if there’s water nearby, she’s in it (or flipping it over ) Adventurous, goofy, sweet, and incredibly resilient She was pulled from an LA shelter and is currently being fostered with my pack in Los Angeles. She is available for transport anywhere in the US to the perfect home. Rescued by Eddie’s Heart ❤️ This girl deserves a family that sees her potential instead of her disabilities — because she truly is something special. Please message for adoption information, questions, or to share her post! For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp

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).
