My story

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

Update: Whiskey has found his forever home! Yippeeee!

Whiskey is a gorgeous merle, retriever/herding mix, with soulful brown eyes that are just begging for an experienced owner to continue the confidence building and obedience training he has received. Whiskey is able to heal nicely and to maintain sit/stay as well as down stay.
He has a lot of energy, typical of his breed mix and loves to play fetch.
Because Whiskey has some herding breed qualities, he may be best as an only dog or with a dog friend that tolerates his style of play. A fenced in yard will help manage his energy level. Whiskey is almost 3 years old (DNA test: Australian Shepherd/Lab mix) and he weighs 65 lbs. Whiskey is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows all his commands. He is very smart and learns fast. With Whiskey's breed mix he will require daily exercise. He is looking for someone with Aussie mix experience. Whiskey has lived with children (over age of 10) and is loyal to his family members. He has also been in a foster home that had a cat.
Whiskey is neutered, completely vaccinated and microchipped. Whiskey is not a "plug and play" dog, he will need someone willing to continue working with him;-)
