Hamish's Story

Meet Hamish <br/>Hamish is a 4-month-old black tri Australian Shepherd with charm for days and a personality as big as his puppy paws. He truly believes the world is his stage-and that everyone he meets was put here to adore him. Spoiler alert: they usually do.<br/>This happy, social boy loves to play and would thrive in an active home, ideally with a dog sibling who can keep up with his enthusiasm. Chasing a ball is one of his favorite things, and he could happily do that all day. After long walks and playtime, he's perfectly content curling up for naps.<br/>Hamish is cat-friendly. He knows better than to chase them, though he occasionally gets a little carried away with sniffing and earns a gentle reminder from his feline friends.<br/>Hamish is very intelligent (named after Constable Hamish Macbeth from the beloved Scottish series). He already knows sit, lay down, and shake. Like most puppies, his follow-through still needs polishing, but he is eager to learn, highly food-motivated, and doing an amazing job so far. As a puppy, he will need continued training, structure, and socialization to help him grow into the incredible dog he's meant to be.<br/>Because he is young and people-oriented, Hamish cannot be left alone for long hours. He is looking for an engaged, committed human who has the time and energy to invest in a bright, affectionate puppy-and who's ready for a lifetime of love, laughter, and adventure.<br/>Hamish's good qualities are endless, and wherever he lands, he is sure to bring immeasurable joy to his forever family.<br/>To apply to adopt Hamish, please apply through Aussie Rescue of the Mid-Atlantic (ARMA) at<br/>https://www.aussierescuemidatlantic.org
