My name is Myla!

My pet's name is Myla, she is a purebred Blue Merle Australian Shepherd, and she is
almost 4 years of age. She is the sweetest thing, and she will treat you, your family, and
friends with the same amount of love, attention, and care as you give her, if not more.
One of the biggest things that I adore about her is the fact that she will literally come up
to your bed when you tell her to, and cuddle with you for hours without end. Another
thing she loves is head scratches, and she puts on her most derpy-est happy face when
you do so (she often has her tongue out of the side when you're petting her). As with any
Aussie, she is very intelligent and very active, so preferably, she is in the best care with
someone who can provide her with adequate mental and physical stimulation. She is a
great in-door dog, and she doesn't often mess with any household items, furniture, etc.,
except for things like food packages (which doesn't happen very often) and her soft toys
usually. I have only had her for 10 weeks, so about 2 and a half months, and she was able
to behave and get attached to me and my housemates pretty well, despite being with her
previous owners for the majority of her young years. I got her from my friend’s friend’s
family, and they were unable to keep her because of housing issues, and I believe there
was no official breeder of the dog, just accidental litter from a mutual.
I am currently a 4th-year college student, attempting to graduate this year, with a lot on
my plate. I believe as a single dog parent living in a small apartment with 3 other
housemates, I don’t think I can provide Myla with the happiness she deserves and the
attention she needs as a working dog breed, given my mental and physical capacity. It
was my first time owning an actual dog myself, and I believe I underestimated how
much time and effort it takes to care for a pet. One of the biggest issues has been her
socialization behavior, with other animals, especially dogs. Whenever I take her out on
walks, and she sees another animal, she would react very aggressively (lashing, pulling,
lunging, showing fangs, growling, barking, salivating). I don’t have the financial means
or the overall energy to get her into behavioral training or train her myself. So I am
looking for owners (preferably families) who are capable and are willing to go through
that for her.
She is also up to date with most of her shots, but will be needing them soon, and does
have some flea scabs, but no fleas. She has been eating dry kibble (Blue Buffalo Brand),
and I think she likes salmon the most, then chicken, then beef, from my own testing
experience. She will often sleep on the floor, I have carpet in my apartment, and I don’t
know how she reacts with a dog bed as I don’t own one for her. She also loves being in
the car.
I will be able to provide her shot record from the previous owners as I have only had her
for a short time, and any more information as requested or required. 

Please let me know or contact me if you have any more questions!
