Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Chancho!
A 4-year-old purebred Australian Shepherd from La Mirada, CA. Chancho is the epitome of sweetness wrapped in fur. Having transitioned from his lively puppy days, he retains a playful spirit that adds a spark of joy to any home! His favorite pastime includes engaging in rousing games of fetch or simply frolicking around the backyard, reveling in the freedom of open space. Indoors, he transforms into a serene presence, often curled up for peaceful naps.
Chancho's affectionate nature extends effortlessly to children, where his patience shines through. A natural guardian, his bark carries a hint of intensity, serving as a reassuring presence to those around him. Vocal when the occasion calls for it, he's not shy about expressing his needs or extending a friendly greeting to passersby.
Highly trainable, Chancho boasts an impressive repertoire of commands including sit, stay, lay down, stand, shake, touch, spin, and speak. His medium energy levels make him an ideal companion for active play and cozy cuddles. Welcoming newcomers, he effortlessly embraces the company of other dogs and children, thriving in a social environment!
For Chancho, a fenced-in yard is a must, providing him with the space to explore and roam freely. Accompanied by a gentle lead harness, he excels in his walks, showcasing his impeccable leash manners. While his next family would benefit from familiarity with the Australian Shepherd breed, Chancho's adaptability and loving nature make him a wonderful addition to any household!
With his vaccinations up to date, neutered, and house-trained, Chancho is primed and ready to embark on his next adventure with a loving family. For those interested in learning more about this charming pup, direct inquiries can be made via email at adopt@joyfulpets.com. Chancho eagerly awaits the opportunity to bring boundless joy and unwavering companionship into his forever home!
Please note that Chancho is still with his current family in La Mirada, CA. However, they are open to a long-distance adoption, allowing his profile to be visible in other regions as well.
