Introducing Doodle! 🌟 This delightful 10-year-old mini-Australian Shepherd is not just a pup, he’s truly a character! Imagine a dog who is as smart as a wizard 🧙‍♂️, filled with the kind of humor that can light up a room, and ready to shower his love on his forever human! But let's be real: Doodle is not for the first-time dog owner. 🌈 With his unique herding instinct, he takes his job seriously—protecting his home like a superhero 🦸‍♂️! Obedient and well-trained, he knows all his commands, is both potty-trained and crate-trained, and can’t get enough of the love and attention he deserves. ❤️ But hold onto your leashes—Doodle needs more than a casual stroll around the block! He’s an adventurer at heart who requires a lot of exercise. Think hiking, running, and agility courses—this dog is ready to take on the world with an active owner who shares his zest for life! 🎉 Now, let’s chat about Doodle’s social life! He’s great with small dogs and even shares a home with a few feline friends. 🐶🐱 Just a heads up, he tends to get a little excited, so he might try to herd them here and there! But larger dogs? Well, let’s say he prefers a peaceful vibe and would thrive best in a home with no resident dog over 20 lbs. 🏠 Doodle has an impressive way of thriving within established boundaries, understanding what’s expected of him. His foster home has been a place of learning and fun, complete with puzzles and interactive toys to keep this clever boy mentally stimulated! But he’s also a true guardian at heart—watching over his humans and protecting them has come naturally for him. 🚨 As selective as any fine wine, Doodle shows a particular fondness for women, and introductions to new people must be gentle and thoughtful. He weighs in at a solid 35 lbs., is neutered, and up-to-date on his vaccines. 🌼 A sweet twist in our tale: Doodle was recently diagnosed with Addison's Disease. While it may sound daunting, it’s under control with monthly injections and a daily pill. The good news? He's thriving! This charming guy just needs a quiet, loving home without kids and a special owner who has experience with herding breeds.
