Meet Lilly, a beautiful seven-month-old Australian Shepherd from Santa Rosa Beach, FL, whose striking blue eyes and intelligence make her an incredible companion for the right person. This young pup is already house-trained, fully vaccinated, and has completed two weeks of behavioral training, knowing commands like sit, place, and down! She’s eager to learn and looking for a home where she can continue to receive dedicated one-on-one attention and continued positive reinforcement training.
Lilly has the classic Aussie personality—playful, alert, and deeply loyal to her people. She loves chew toys and going on walks, making her an ideal companion for an active individual who enjoys outdoor adventures! However, like many herding breeds, she can be wary of strangers and children, sometimes attempting to "herd" people by nipping at their heels. While this is not aggressive behavior, it does mean she needs a structured home without small children where she can focus on building confidence and trust.
She gets along well with the two dogs in her current home, but she would do best as the only pet in her new home to ensure she receives the one-on-one time and training she needs to reach her full potential. She’s a devoted companion who bonds closely with her person, so a pet parent who is home often and willing to continue her training will set her up for success.
Lilly does well when left alone for short periods, but she thrives best with routine and structure. New environments, strangers, and unfamiliar dogs can be stressful for her, so slow introductions and patient guidance will be important. With continued training, she is well on her way to becoming the incredibly loyal, well-mannered, and affectionate companion she's meant to be.
This sweet, intelligent girl is looking for her next loving home where she can feel safe and continue to grow. If you have the time, patience, and experience with herding breeds, Lilly could be the perfect match for you!
