Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Archie is looking for very particular home. He is a 2.5 year old, male, Australian Shepherd. He is a very active dog and needs a family that will give him adequate exercise. His ideal home would have a fully fenced in back yard and be experienced with the breed. His ideal family would not have other pets or children under 12. He is going to make a great companion for the right family.
