Meet Daniel!
Daniel is a stunning 2-year-old, 46-pound black tri Australian Shepherd with a tail and the most soulful brown eyes you've ever seen. He came to us as a stray and has blossomed into an absolute gem. Daniel is sweet, gentle, intelligent, and calm, with not a single mean bone in his body. His tail is almost always wagging, and his favorite place is wherever his people are. This handsome boy is happiest simply being part of everyday life. He'll happily follow you around the yard, enjoy spending time with his humans, and is learning that walks can be fun. Daniel is housebroken, crate trained, and remarkably quiet, though he'll politely remind you when dinner time has arrived. He loves stuffed Kongs, chew bones, lick mats, treats, and never says no to a bedtime snack. Daniel gets along well with other dogs, although he doesn't currently engage in play. As his confidence grows, that may change. In true Daniel fashion, stuffed toys are less for playing with and more for use as pillows.
Ideal Home
Daniel is looking for a home without small children where he can feel safe, comfortable, and thrive in a calmer environment with a consistent routine. He can occasionally be startled by sudden loud noises or unexpected overhead movements, and when that happens, he seeks comfort in his crate, his safe space. With calm reassurance, he recovers quickly.
Ongoing Health
Daniel is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, and receives heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives.
Training & Support
Daniel knows some basic commands, including sit, stay, and come. Continued training will help improve his leash manners while also building his confidence and strengthening the bond with his future family. He has made remarkable progress since arriving in foster care, and we believe his confidence will continue to blossom with patience, understanding, and love.
