Harley

Breed: Australian Shepherd Mix
Sex: Male, neutered
Estimated Birth Date: 4/1/2021
Size: Currently 29 pounds but could be around 50 pounds when full grown (this is an estimate!)
Good With Kids: Unknown but most likely fine. He tends to be mouthy like a typical puppy but doesn’t bite.
Good With Cats: Unknown. Due to his age, he could learn to leave them alone. In the interim, his breed instincts may cause him to chase them
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: In progress
Crate Trained: Yes

Recommended Environment: Harley is reactive to tone of voice; he cowers at raised voices. Calm and quiet voices will keep him calm and responsive to you. Positive reinforcement is a must when training him. Aussies are very intelligent dogs and will require exercise and mental stimulation. He loves spending time with his people, taking a walk or snuggling on the couch. He will gaze at you adoringly when you’re making dinner, lay his head in your lap during quiet time, and expect hugs after a night in his crate.

Additional Information: Harley is learning to walk on a leash and is doing quite well. He does not appreciate the leash being attached to his collar; he requires a harness instead. He likes to steal clothes and shoes so be sure to keep these items picked up. Gently take the contraband and give him an acceptable toy instead.

*Currently in a foster home.*
