Neo's Story

**THIS DOG IS NOT IN THE DIRECT CARE OF HAPPY TAILS HAPPY HOMES RESCUE - We are assisting his owner in rehoming him. If you are interested in this dog, please fill out an application at https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform**<br/><br/> Meet Neo - Your Next Adventure Partner! <br/><br/>Neo is a striking 3-year-old, 70-pound Australian Shepherd/Labrador mix - with the brains, loyalty, and heart of both breeds rolled into one. His head, mind, and bobbed tail are all Aussie; his sleek black coat and strong build are Lab. (He's not too fond of cold water, but if you need to cross a creek, he'll power through right beside you!)<br/><br/>Neo is a one-person dog through and through - devoted, intelligent, and happiest when he's with his person. He'll do best as a single dog in a calm, consistent home with an owner who understands the Aussie mindset: smart, sensitive, high-energy, and always ready to work or play.<br/><br/>He thrives with structure, clear verbal cues, and steady energy. Neo knows his hand signals for sit, down, and stay/wait, and he's eager to keep learning. He's superb on off-leash trails, focused and responsive on hikes, and would likely excel in agility, herding, or other active pursuits.<br/><br/>Neo loves being outdoors - hiking, running, or helping with chores - and needs an owner who enjoys daily adventures as much as he does. He's affectionate, "scary-smart," and has a touch of FOMO (he just doesn't want to miss out on any fun or cuddles).<br/><br/>Because he's cautious around children and selective with other animals, Neo should be the only pet in an adult household. He doesn't enjoy loud noises or highly animated environments - he's happiest with a calm, steady human who appreciates his loyalty and sharp mind.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a bright, athletic, and deeply devoted companion who will be your shadow and sidekick on every trail, Neo could be your perfect match.<br/><br/> DOB: 10/03/2022<br/> Ideal Home: Active, outdoorsy, one-dog household<br/> Exercise Needs: Daily hikes/walks (2+ miles)<br/> Personality: Loyal, sensitive, affectionate, "Aussie-smart"
