About Pinot | |
|
|
Pinot was abandoned by her family when they moved away without her. A week after they moved, she scratched on the door of a nearby neighbor. The lady at that house recognized the dog and knew the family had moved away more than a week ago. Pinot was hungry so she began feeding her, and in a matter of days this neighbor noticed she was looking like she was gaining a lot of weight and that she could be pregnant. So the kind neighbor took her to the vet where it was discovered that she was due to have pups in a week or two.
Fast forward 8 weeks and you have Pinot and her pups being surrendered to PRBJ in hopes to help them all find their forever homes. Pinot is a little shy but friendly so it just takes her a moment or two to come out of her shell.
GROOMING : In general, weekly brushing sessions will keep the Australian Shepherd's waterproof, double-layer coat looking best. During shedding season, though, more frequency is required.
EXERCISE : The high energy Aussie needs lots of exercise on a daily basis. At minimum, a large, fenced-in yard to run in for an hour or two daily. An Aussie needs a job to do or he/she may find a job themselves which an owner may not appreciate.
SOCIAL and TRAINING : Aussies bond closely with their owners and love to accompany them on long walks, hikes, running or other energetic adventures. Their loyalty combined with the breed's keen intelligence and high energy makes them very easy to train. Training helps to channel the breed's boundless energy.
