My personality

Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

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

River a 12 year old Aussie whose mom just passed away and he needs a new home:(. He is neutered, in good health, and an incredibly sweet guy. He has lived with both cats and dogs peacefully and done great with visitors (both dog and human) that come to the house. He's used to living with one elderly person and though he's been around little kids without incident, the ideal home would not have small children. He has the typical herding dog instinct where he will chase/nip if there's a lot of running/yelling/play fighting etc inside the house, though he's never bitten anyone. He walks well on leash and is happy with one mellow 30 min walk each day, otherwise he just loafs. He's very tolerant, loves car rides, eats well, does well in public/gatherings, is house trained, and just wants to be someones sweet companion.
