Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Carver is a 45 pound, black tri neutered male, who came to Aussie Rescue as a stray at less than a year old. He is now about 8 years old and is looking for a new home due to his owners having their three year old grandson as a regular visitor in their home. Carver is not comfortable with the unpredictable behavior of small children and nipped the grandson when the kid hugged him. He is great with other dogs, friendly, playful, well behaved in the house, very thoroughly housebroken and never been destructive in any way. He does not bark at the door to come in or go out, he simply "knocks" with a light paw, looks to his person, and waits patiently. He has used a bell to signal. He is not very trusting of strangers and it takes him a while to completely accept someone new. He does well if allowed to approach on his terms. He is also anxious about fireworks and gun shots. Carver is still very quick and agile and likes to play Frisbee. He is smart, loyal, polite, beautiful, and beloved. He will make a wonderful companion dog for someone.
