🐾 Breed Spotlight: Australian Shepherd (Mini/Normal) 🐾

This week, we're shining a light on the brilliant and energetic Australian Shepherd! 🇦🇺 Known for their striking coats, boundless energy, and sharp intelligence, Aussies are a favorite among active families and working dog enthusiasts. 🐕

✨ Coat Care:
Their thick, medium-length double coat requires regular grooming, especially during shedding seasons (spring and fall). Brush 2-3 times a week to keep their fur smooth and free of tangles, and don’t forget to trim their nails and clean their ears to maintain their overall health.

🐶 Temperament:
Aussies are loyal, affectionate, and protective with their families. They're naturally alert and can be wary of strangers, but with early socialization, they make excellent companions. They're known for their affectionate nature, often forming close bonds with their human pack. 💕

⚡ Activity Level:
This breed is high-energy—they need daily exercise, mental stimulation, and a job to do. Whether it’s agility training, hiking, or herding (true to their roots), Aussies thrive when given a purpose. Without enough activity, they can get bored and resort to mischievous behaviors. 🏃‍♂️💨

🧠 Intelligence:
Aussies are highly intelligent, making them quick learners, but they also require consistency and positive reinforcement in training. They excel in obedience, tricks, and dog sports, often becoming top competitors in agility and obedience trials. 🏅

🐾 Fun Fact:
These pups are natural-born herders! With their instinctual drive, they often "herd" other pets, kids, or even adults if they're not kept busy.

Whether you're looking for an adventure buddy or a clever companion, the Australian Shepherd’s intelligence, energy, and loyalty make them an outstanding choice! 🌟

Due to the events of the F3 tornado that hit the Valley View & Sanger, TX area, the Animal Hospital on Milam Road's wonderful staff has gone out into the community & rescued many fur babies and brought them back into the clinic for shelter and care.

There are many pups that they have under their care as well as that have needed treatment. One of their lovely guests is named Willow & was found on the side of the road by a wonderful human & she has a broken leg & pelvis that needs an important extensive surgery! Funds will go towards Willow's surgery, vaccinations, medications, & other treated injuries! They also have some pups that have found their owners but will be staying at the clinic at no cost due to their homes being destroyed or them being hospitalized themselves that funds will go towards.

We would love your help in raising money! These sweet babies have been through so much trauma already & we appreciate absolutely everything that this community has already done to help them! If you feel led to donate to the cause, please use this link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/aid-for-tornadoaffected-dogs-in-sanger
