Highland
Australian Shepherd / Australian Kelpie / Mixed (medium coat) · Young (2 years 7 months) · Male · Medium · Jackson, MS
Notes from Animal Rescue Fund of MS
Highland is basically the golden retriever of baseball players trapped in a shepherd mix body. This boy is HIGH on life and may honestly be the happiest dog ever. Nothing makes him happier than busting out of his kennel, chasing a ball like it’s Game 7 of the World Series, and proudly bringing it back for another throw. Catch and retrieve? That’s his sport. His talent. His calling. Highland has energy to burn at first, but after some zoomies and fetch time, he settles into the sweetest, easygoing boy. He’d make an amazing walking, hiking, or running buddy—and his goofy smile is contagious in the best way. If joy had four legs and a tail, it’d probably look a lot like Highland.
