Shadow is a loving, calm while energetic young and Super Smart Aussie! Shadow was pulled from a local shelter. He was found running (with another Aussie) in a ranchers field and the rancher helped secure Shadow and his Aussie friend. The Rancher brought the Aussies into Animal Control. The Red Tri was happy and easily adopted, Shadow feared a leash and rope around his neck so the Animal Control surrendered Shadow to ASF to ensure that his next furever home understood his needs.
Shadow is super gentle, silly, pure Aussie traits! Paws crossed, learns daily, climbs on your lap and gives hugs and kisses. Recall is great, chases a frisbee and loves to have toys. Very social and an overall perfect Aussie!
What are his issues you may ask, well none, just a young loving pup that needs stimulation and a person that is devoted to spending unconditional time with him. Goofing off, running, playing and loving.
Commands known are: wait, leash, walk, outside, go potty, house, come, inside. Sit is 75% of the time a success, Down is still in progress , recall by name is great!
If Shadow sounds like a great addition to your family, please apply to ASF and
please note Shadow’s name on your application.
