Female Dog, Australian Shepherd
Australian Shepherd (Long Coat)
Description:
*Courtesy post, if interested please contact dog owner at [email protected] or (916) 599-9664 * My pet's name is Myla, she is a purebred Blue Merle Australian Shepherd, and she isalmost 4 years of age. She is the sweetest thing, and she will treat you, your family, andfriends with the same amount of love, attention, and care as you give her, if not more.One of the biggest things that I adore about her is the fact that she will literally come upto your bed when you tell her to, and cuddle with you for hours without end. Anotherthing she loves is head scratches, and she puts on her most derpy-est happy face whenyou do so (she often has her tongue out of the side when you're petting her). As with anyAussie, she is very intelligent and very active, so preferably, she is in the best care withsomeone who can provide her with adequate mental and physical stimulation. She is agreat in-door dog, and she doesn't often mess with any household items, furniture, etc.,except for things like food packages (which doesn't happen very often) and her soft toysusually. I have only had her for 10 weeks, so about 2 and a half months, and she was ableto behave and get attached to me and my housemates pretty well, despite being with herprevious owners for the majority of her young years. I got her from my friend’s friend’sfamily, and they were unable to keep her because of housing issues, and I believe therewas no official breeder of the dog, just accidental litter from a mutual.I am currently a 4th-year college student, attempting to graduate this year, with a lot onmy plate. I believe as a single dog parent living in a small apartment with 3 otherhousemates, I don’t think I can provide Myla with the happiness she deserves and theattention she needs as a working dog breed, given my mental and physical capacity. Itwas my first time owning an actual dog myself, and I believe I underestimated howmuch time and effort it takes to care for a pet. One of the biggest issues has been hersocialization behavior, with other animals, especially dogs. Whenever I take her out onwalks, and she sees another animal, she would react very aggressively (lashing, pulling,lunging, showing fangs, growling, barking, salivating). I don’t have the financial meansor the overall energy to get her into behavioral training or train her myself. So I amlooking for owners (preferably families) who are capable and are willing to go throughthat for her.She is also up to date with most of her shots, but will be needing them soon, and doeshave some flea scabs, but no fleas. She has been eating dry kibble (Blue Buffalo Brand),and I think she likes salmon the most, then chicken, then beef, from my own testingexperience. She will often sleep on the floor, I have carpet in my apartment, and I don’tknow how she reacts with a dog bed as I don’t own one for her. She also loves being inthe car.I will be able to provide her shot record from the previous owners as I have only had herfor a short time, and any more information as requested or required. Please let me know or contact me if you have any more questions! *Courtesy post, if interested please contact dog owner at [email protected] or (916) 599-9664 * All animals are up-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies if over 4 months old), microchipped, and spayed or neutered.
