🌟 Meet the enchanting Raven! This magnificent 1.5-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd, weighing in at about 28 lbs, is a blend of beauty, brains, and boldness! Known for their remarkable intelligence, this breed requires an adopter who has experience and is committed to training. If you’re ready for an exciting journey with a pup who will keep you on your toes, Raven could be your perfect match! 💖 At first glance, you might find Raven to be a bit reserved. Don’t be fooled! Once she bonds with you, a world of love and loyalty opens up. As a thoughtful and observant girl, she takes her role as the household overseer quite seriously. Imagine a partner who’s not only smart but also thrives when given clear boundaries and the opportunity to think for herself — that’s our girl! Raven’s energy is the perfect balance of athleticism and cozy downtime. Whether it’s a brisk walk, an adventurous outing, or a focused training session, she’s up for it! And don’t worry — after a good romp, she enjoys her snuggle time just as much as anyone else. You’ll treasure the moments of peaceful coexistence when she’s happily lounging at home. 💤💪 Raven comes equipped with some fantastic skills: she’s house trained, crate trained, walks like a pro on a leash, and rides wonderfully in the car! 🚗 Plus, she’s quite social with other dogs and even cats — just a tad bossy at times, as she prefers her kingdom to run with structure! However, it’s important to remember that herding dogs like Raven do best in homes with older children who can engage with her energetic herding instincts under guidance. She’s protective and alert, and will really shine when paired with a human who understands the value of training and leadership. 🌈 In the early phase of adoption, keep in mind that Raven is a flight risk, so a secure, fenced yard or attentive leash management is essential for keeping her safe. 🏡 She’s already spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, eagerly awaiting the right human who appreciates intelligence and a partner who wants to be active and engaged in life together! So, if you’re looking for an exceptional companion who will reward you with deep bonds and a whole lot of joy, Raven could be just the pup you need in your life.
