Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Newton is an energetic, 8 yo dog who loves people. He has been nothing but a joy but unfortunately I have been diagnosed with a debilitating illness and we are no longer a good fit for him and he would need a home with someone experienced in the Aussie/Herding breeds. I adopted him 7 years ago from a local rescue and have had a wonderful companionship thus far. He loves hiking, swimming, playing fetch and keeping close to his owners. Ideally his new home would have room for a larger dog and access to plenty of exercise. Since moving to a city- he has been a bit more anxious and would benefit from more suburban or rural locales. He takes after his breed and has a lot of behaviors seen within herding dogs and would be best fit in a home without small/young children. He is crate trained and takes anxiety medication to help with some behavioral issues (like nipping). He is very food motivated and intelligent. He has a clean bill of health and recently had a full dental workup and cleaning.
