Whittier, CA

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Todd is a very friendly and very active 3 year old Australian Shepherd mix. He needs an active dog enthusiast who likes going on walks, or even runs. He also needs someone who either has some dog training experience or someone who doesn’t mind a little rough play. He likes other dogs, though they often take a little while to warm up to his playful nature. While he really likes children, he can get carried away and knock down smaller ones like ours. He came to us already potty trained and crate trained, though he has lived freely as an outdoor dog for his past two years with us.
