My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Available in Kennesaw - Nakoa is a beautiful 2-year-old red merle Aussie who was found wandering the streets with a chewed rope hanging from his neck.

Nakoa is on the slimmer side and has a higher level of energy as well as anxiety. Nakoa would do best in a quieter home with less chaotic activity, so older children are preferred. Nakoa is great with other dogs, even though his "talk" makes him sound scary.

Nakoa would do great in a home with another friendly dog or as an only child. Nakoa is loving, sweet, gentle, eager to please, and could be great for agility and other sport dog activities.

Due to his past, Nakoa will need someone that can continue to train with him because, while fine being left in his crate, he does not like being left alone outside and will jump, bark and whine. Nakoa does not react well to strangers inside the home and will continue to pace and guard long after they have left, especially if the guest was male. He will need ongoing training and someone with experience is a must. Nakoa will need a home with a securely fenced yard.

He walks okay on a leash, but again, will need someone that can work with him. He has not been tested around cats.

Nakoa is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on heartworm, flea and tick prevention, and is house/crate trained.
