LOYAL LIVELY LOVING
LUKE is a 3 year old PB Small Standard Tricolor Australian shepherd, he’s about 42 lbs.
Luke is crate-trained, has
a moderate energy level but definitely LOVES his daily outside time. Typical of the breed he is eager to please.
Luke knows basic commands like sit, stay, roll over, and paw. He is neutered, microchipped & current on all shots.
Luke was said to exhibit anxiety in new situations but DASH has had him in two different foster homes all summer so we could say with confidence he settled into both homes easily.
Luke is very treat-motivated and praise-trained; he warms up to people who show him affection and praise him a lot
DASH is looking for a moderately active home for Luke; he originally came to DASH from a home with small children and they were the cause of his anxiety so we want a mature owner / home for him now. Like all new dogs Luke needs to decompress awhile in his new environment but he definitely enjoys being outdoors.
Luke has been living with multiple dogs at both DASH homes. He’s interacted well with our own dogs and other fosters; he may not show it immediately but he does love playing with other dogs and will get the zoomies, race around, tackle and mix it up well.
Luke is house-trained and does not need a crate. He is not destructive and can be left free in the home especially with another dog. One of his quirks is he does Not like to be behind a closed door if he knows his humans are home.
Luke is extremely smart, eager to please and was very well-trained on commands: sit, stay, shake. He needs to brush up on commands like: sit pretty, give me 10, right, left, jump, Target and find it.
Luke was very well leash-trained however while in our homes at DASH we don’t do a lot of leash walking; when you have multiple dogs to care for they play together outside and especially in the summer we keep them indoors.
Luke does really enjoys his walks and will love exploring parks and hiking trails once he’s secure with his new people.
We would love to see Luke go to an Aussie-Experienced family who has another dog of similar age and size as a companion. He was an only-dog before coming to DASH and he wasn’t socialized outside of the home. It was no one’s fault but he was bought during COVID so his first 2 years didn’t allow for many opportunities.
If you’ve been looking for a sweet, loyal medium-sized Aussie as a companion for a person or couple with a female or submissive male dog Luke could be perfect for you!

We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD.
