About Joshua
Handsome and inquisitive Joshua is a perfect example of a young, purebred Australian Shepherd, bursting with all the traits that make the breed special. This lively one-year-old weighs about 38 pounds and is ready to be your sidekick. He’s friendly, energetic, and quickly learns new things—within hours of arriving at his foster home, he mastered the doggie door and hasn't had any accidents inside. Joshua loves toys and empties the dog toy box daily, eager to play with every single one. He enjoys being near people, often hopping onto laps without you noticing. If you pause your petting, he gently reminds you to continue! He’s a typical Australian Shepherd, always following you and trying to initiate play with other dogs. His beautiful chestnut and lighter red coat makes him stand out, too. He’s neutered, vaccinated, and does not bark much; he usually joins in when other dogs start. Joshua sleeps in a crate at night after some initial whimpering, but eventually settles down. It’s crucial for his future adopters to appreciate the energy and curiosity of Australian Shepherds. He's looking for active companions who can match his vibrant personality. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
