Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chance is a 4 year old, neutered male Aussie with a full tail. He is black and white and fuzzy all over. You will want to sink your hands into his soft coat and snuggle this friendly guy. He loves kids (he follows his foster family kids around) and is great with other dogs (he wrestles with his young housemates and is respectful of the older crabbier dogs in the house). Chance is calm in the house and quiet in his crate. He is deaf, so his new family must be willing to learn to communicate with him by hand signals. His foster family is teaching him new hand signals and is housetraining him. Chance came to Aussie Rescue of MN as an outside farm dog that was chasing cars and trains and was not good with poultry. At his foster home he isn’t allowed such activities but he definitely shows a lot of chase instinct toward birds flying overhead and vehicles in the driveway. Chance would need to be in a home with a fenced yard or where he is kept on leash. He walks well on a leash and would most likely be great at a dog park with other dogs. He will chase the cats in his foster home only if they run but does nothing but sniff them when he gets to them. Chance is a calm, adaptable and friendly dog.
