Meet Wave 🌊, a sweet soul who's experienced more than his share of challenges. Rescued from a rural shelter as a stray, he faced the hardship of heartworm but has since made a full recovery. His past includes signs of abuse, leaving him sensitive and cautious. Now, with gentle care, Wave is learning to trust again, understanding that he is safe and loved. This affectionate Australian Shepherd enjoys belly rubs, cuddles, and long, leisurely walks—especially by the beach. He's well-mannered and excels on the leash, plus he's house and crate trained. He even has a charming way of saying hello by “waving” for attention. At around 3-4 years old and medium-sized, Wave is dog friendly. However, young children under 12 might be overwhelming for him as he continues to work through his apprehensions about loud noises and sudden movements. This handsome boy is a fantastic companion, deserving of all the love in the world. Can you be the one to give him that?
