My story

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

I do daycare and boarding in our home. I first got Ray as a client but the owners died and Ray was passed to a family member who couldn't care for him so he was left with us. I am not a good fit for pups who need a forever home. Too much stimulation and too many dogs coming and going. I did find a terrific home for him but as it turns out he nips strangers coming into the home. This is NOT agrressive! Aussies naturally nip when herding cattle. He was never trained not to. I wasn't aware of the extent of this behavior. I have had him in extensive training for this and will train you. I will also put you intouch with his trainer. He needs to be in a home where he can begin to relax into a normal routine. He is a wonderful smart dog full of energy and love. I’ve had him now for several months and he's beginning to act out. He doesn’t get to relax or really rest here. I'm praying someone has the patience and the love Ray needs as he deserves no less. Thank you for reading.
