Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I am a 4yr old Australian Shepard mix and I am sweet, gentle, soft, fluffy pup and I'm ready for an adventure! I get a little nervous meeting new people, but once I trust you, I expect butt scratches right away- and if you stop scratching me, I'll remind you to please continue. I like my personal space, but I equally love hugs and kisses at the right time too. I love my kennel, I use it for naps and sometimes to sleep at night, or just to feel safe. I have a very silly personality and sometimes when I shake my head my tongue flops out since I'm missing a tooth- it's a cool trick of mine. I love sleeping and playing with my two other dog siblings all day. I also have super cool eyes, but they just need some eyedrops everyday so that I can see better, but I'll just lay here while you put them in for me! I love being outside, especially with a few inches of snow on my back in a little dirt bed I made myself. Hiking, camping, rock climbing- lets go! I'm always looking for a reason to get on my harness and get out of the house to explore and I love a car ride! Dog parks are some of my favorite places to be and I love swimming in creeks too.
I am kennel/potty trained and know all my basic commands. I'm still working on my leash manners and reactivity. I'm not very food motivated with training but I'll do just about anything for some butt scratches! (and maybe I'll do my butt scratch tap dance for you if I REALLY like you)
I love living with other dogs but I'd do best in a home without cats.
I haven't warmed up to small children/babies just yet. Sometimes when our baby wants to play with me, but I don't want to play with her, I get a little upset and leave. It would be ideal that any children in the home would be old enough to understand my boundaries. Children 13 years old and older might be best.
My mom gets me super durable bones and toys to play with and LOTS of bouncy balls for fetch- my favorite!
My ideal home could have dogs or could not- I am happy either way. It would also be a place where I got a lot of love and pets, lots and lots of adventures and outdoor time, and a mom and/or dad who just want to spoil me. I'd do best without cats in the home and with children 13 years of age or older.
My adoption fee includes a personalized training program.
