Foster location: Appleton Application & Website: .ourpackanimalrescue/adoption.html Bio: Hughie came to OPARI three years ago from Texas after being found as a stray. During his vet workup, it was discovered he had multiple embedded pellets consistent with being used as target practice prior to rescue. As a result of those old injuries, Hughie has a slight head tilt, occasional unsteadiness, and hearing loss on one side. Because of his hearing loss, sudden movement from behind can startle him, so he is not suited for homes with small children. He does best with calm, respectful, and playful dog companions. Hughie was originally adopted from OPARI but was later rehomed without our knowledge. When challenges came up in the home, he was moved along again without anyone reaching out for support. Most recently, he was left at a daycare facility by that placement. He is now safely back with OPARI. Despite everything, Hughie remains a resilient dog who did exceptionally well in daycare—so much so that staff were emotional when he left. He is currently fostered with other dogs and does well in a group setting. Hughie can get annoyed with dominant personalities from other dogs, and gets a bit grumpy about sharing cuddles in his home. Absolutely no cats, small/jumpy dogs, or young children. Our Pack Animal Rescue, Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue. License #487823.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Australian Mountain Dog, a captivating hybrid of the Australian Shepherd and Bernese Mountain Dog, combines the best traits of its esteemed parents. Originating from designer breed efforts to create a well-rounded companion, these dogs are renowned for their striking appearance, often featuring a medium-to-long coat in various colors, a sturdy build, and an intelligent expression. Temperament-wise, they are generally described as loyal, intelligent, and affectionate, making them excellent family pets. While they possess a playful energy from their Aussie lineage, the Bernese influence often imbues them with a calm and gentle demeanor. They thrive in homes with a fenced yard and consistent exercise, making them less suitable for apartment living without significant commitment to daily walks and mental stimulation. Owners should be aware of potential health considerations common to their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, certain cancers, and eye conditions, necessitating regular veterinary check-ups to ensure a long and healthy life.
