Story
YOUNG AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!
Meet Anakin, a sensitive, intelligent young Australian Shepherd with a heart as soft as his fluffy coat. Anakin is looking for a calm, predictable home where he can feel safe, understood, and loved at his own pace.
Born in March 2024 and weighing about 37 pounds, Anakin is bright, eager to learn, and deeply loyal, but he’s also an anxious guy who can become overwhelmed by loud noises, fast movements, and chaotic environments. Because of this, he’ll thrive best in a home without children. Anakin absolutely loves being with other dogs, though, and this has shown to be a positive influence on him—and he’s also amazing with cats! Shy when meeting new people, especially men, Anakin needs adults who understand his need for gentle handling, patience, and positive reinforcement.
Once he feels comfortable, Anakin’s personality truly shines—he’s playful, affectionate, and loves bonding through training games, lots of walks (he LOVES his walks!), and one-on-one time. He would be a wonderful match for someone who appreciates the Aussie Shepherd’s active mind but also wants a companion who enjoys peaceful moments just as much.
Anakin’s ideal home would provide a calm, structured environment in an adults-only household with another dog. He will thrive with daily mental enrichment and steady routines. Someone experienced with herding breeds and a secure yard or safe space for exploring would be an asset.
If you’re ready to earn the trust of a gentle soul and help him blossom, Anakin is waiting for his forever person. If you think you could be the one, please complete an adoption questionnaire on our website at www.kikodogrescue.ca. We are active in the Greater Montreal and Eastern Ontario areas, and are also open to applicants from elsewhere willing to drive to us.
