Description
Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (medium coat). ***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application on our website at .emmetcountyanimalshelter*** Trips is a purebred mini Aussie with some added flare. Due to no fault of his own, his front leg needed to be amputated at 3 months old. Fortunately, Trips does not care and has not missed out on anything. He is full of energy, personality, and cuddles. He is still ALL puppy as he chases and chews his way through life. Trips currently is in a home with a senior dog, a German shepherd, a 5 year old mix and 2 year old mix. He is by the far the smallest in this pack, but is not affected is often found cuddling with whoever he wants. He is also in a home with a 11, 9 and 7 year old human. He does great with kids, elderly, dogs, and cats. Due to prior living conditions he gets a bit anxious when left alone for extended periods of time 4+ hours. His foster family has decided he does best when he has a companion during those long human absences. He does great in the car and on a leash. Trip was born 12/22/25 he is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and his adoption fee is $350.00

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).
