My name is Alofo!

Alofo is a 6 year old miniature Aussie. He is in a foster home. This is what the foster had to say: Al is friendly with other dogs. Once settled in he likes his bath. Needs brushed a few times a week with his beautiful long hair. Doesn't mind grooming with clippers. Has not been to groomer but has no problem with foster mom and dad grooming him. He prefers to lay in his bed during the day. Plays with toys and his dog sister sometimes too. Starting to warm up to his people and will approach and take food/treats from their hand. Fast movements by people scare him and he sometimes barks when people enter the house. The barking may be due in part to his dog sister. During the day he goes out side to potty. Sometimes likes to mark new territory that is placed in his environment. No kennel accidents. Has used pee pad at night at times. He prefers to sleep in kennel at night with door closed though. Kennel is put up during the day so he lays in bed on floor. Does not get on furniture unless human puts him on chair or couch. Will set with humans on couch and relax. I always talk to him and approach him slowly before picking him up. Have no problem picking him up. He lets me love on him. Has done very well at his vet visits. Likes to eat food in kennel during the night. His sister is somewhat intrusive and gets in his kennel and eats his food. He lets her. He does not like the leash,refuses to walk on leash and try's to get away from it. He will follow you wherever you go outside or if you call him without the leash. Initially was Houdini and would remove his collar in seconds. Now leaves collar on and doesn't try to remove it. He makes sure everyone is ready to go back in before he goes into the house. He herds his people and dog sister back into the house after each trip outside and patiently waits if he is done but others are not ready.

Alofo has been neutered and is current on microchips. He is heartworm negative. He has been microchipped. Alofo's adoption fee is $325.00.
