My story

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

Remember that handsome juvenile delinquent from high school that eventually grew up to be a solid citizen? Meet Billy. Billy spent the first year of his life in a kennel in a small town shelter with very little interaction with people and no doggy playmates. He has now been in an ARM foster home since August while he has learned about the world. He is currently peacefully living with 5 other dogs and 2 dog savvy cats. He loves to wrestle wildly with the other young dogs in the home and would absolutely chase those cats if they would just run. He loves to tear up dishtowels and dirty socks. Billy has the most awesome playbow of any dog we have seen. He can be mouthy when excited and needs to be reminded to be careful. He pulls hard on leash (would be a good candidate for a head halter and more training) but can be walked in a rural area off leash and has a reliable recall. Billy is crate trained and food and tug motivated for training. He is still scared of strangers and shows that with deep, loud barks that can be intimidating. He is increasing his circle of friends and once you win his trust you can do anything with him.

Fence:no
Kids: maybe older ones
Cats: maybe
Dogs: yes

All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers. We need an approved application on file to set up a meeting with a dog you might be interested in. You can find our application at www.aussierescuemn.com. All dogs have an adoption fee of $400 plus MN sales tax. We pride ourselves on matches that are awesome for both the dog and your family. Aussie Rescue of MN is here for support, advice and as a safety net for our dogs for the rest of their lives.
