My story

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

Austin and his sister, Abilene, were pulled from the Clay City, KY shelter, where they had been surrendered by their owner. They are purebred Aussies, with all the energy and intelligence of the breed.
*****************************************************
BREED CHARACTERISTICS: According to the AKC breed description, the Australian Shepherd is an intelligent working dog of strong herding and guarding instincts. He is a loyal companion and has the stamina to work all day. He is well balanced, slightly longer than tall of medium size and bone, with coloring that offers variety and individuality. He is attentive and animated, lithe and agile, solid and muscular without cloddiness. He has a coat of moderate length and coarseness. He has a docked or natural bobbed tail. The Aussie is an intelligent active dog with an even disposition, he is good natured, seldom quarrelsome. They may be somewhat reserved in initial meetings, but never shy, fearful, or aggressive.
*********************************************************
Aussies are not the breed for everyone. Their intelligence and energy must be directed positively with proper training and exercise.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Abilene and Austin are both very affectionate pups. They're adapting to their new surroundings and will be fully vetted and spayed/neutered before adoption. Austin's adoption donation is $350, 100% of which is used to offset the expenses we incur in rehabilitating dogs, which includes spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, worming, any other vet services required. temperament testing, crate-training, and the cost of high-quality grain-free food.

Please contact us for an application if you'd like to be considered as an adoptive home for Austin. We normally require at least one visit prior to adoption to insure that there is a good match between the dog and the adoptive family.
