My story

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

River is a four year old Aussie we rescued at 9 months old. He is very loyal, always putting his family first. He has tremendous recall and loves to be at your side. He requires frequent walks or runs and companionship. He takes his time warming up to strangers and does not respond well to harsh tones or aggressive correction. Given his intelligence, he prefers a gentle conversation and positive reinforcement. He is keenly aware of family hierarchy and you should anticipate some adjustment time as he settles in to a new environment. He is crate trained. All medical is up to date. We are moving to a location unsuitable for him otherwise we would keep him forever!
