Meet Tokyo!
A devoted four-year-old Australian Shepherd currently in Monrovia, MD, whose blue merle coat shimmers like a watercolor masterpiece and whose loyalty runs deep as a river.
Tokyo is the kind of girl who forms powerful bonds with her people. Obedient and incredibly smart, she responds to a wide array of commands from “go to your bed” to “turn around” and loves nothing more than staying close to her trusted human companions. Walks? She’s a dream! On or off leash, she moves with grace and attentiveness, though her true joy blossoms when she’s leash-free, trotting happily beside her person with frisbee in tow.
Frisbee is, in fact, her greatest joy! She could play fetch for hours, leaping and sprinting with enthusiasm, her eyes bright with excitement. This playful spirit is paired with a gentle desire to be near her favorite humans, always keeping a watchful eye from the window when they’re away, patiently awaiting their return.
While Tokyo shines in adult company and with older children who respect her space, she becomes anxious around toddlers and small children. She also prefers to be the only pet, as she doesn’t feel comfortable around other dogs. In her current home, there was a conflict with another resident dog that resulted in a bite, an important sign that Tokyo is happiest when she has her space and undivided attention from her people. Her ideal family is calm, adult-centered, or includes thoughtful teens who understand boundaries and are ready to build a close, trusting bond with a loyal companion.
Tokyo is house-trained, crate-trained, and up to date on vaccinations. She’s slightly over her normal weight, but with some daily walks, games of fetch, and a balanced diet, she’ll be back to her fit and fabulous self in no time!
She’s not just a pet, she’s a steadfast companion, a bright mind, and a warm heart who needs a home where she can be the star of the show. Imagine having a walking partner who never strays, a playmate who never tires, and a friend who always wants to be by your side!
Are you ready to open your heart and home to this frisbee-loving girl?
