Here's what the humans have to say about me:
URGENT !!! Only has until SUNDAY 7/2 to find a new home or owners will PTS !!!
Hi my name is Benji. I am a nine-year-old Australian Shepherd with a ton of life, energy and love to give. I was rescued eight years ago. When my family brought me home they began to see I had issues socializing and had clearly been through something that they were not aware of. They hired trainers and even a dog psychologist for me and all of them told my parents that I was a lost cause. Then came my favorite person, Michelle from Trail Dogs. She saw the real me and knew that with the right encouragement I would blossom to be the beautiful dog that I am today. It wasn't the easiest road but now, 2 1/2 years later, I have worked my butt off to become the best dog I can be. I went from not being able to walk by a fence with dogs behind it, to being able to enjoy hikes with a pack of dogs! I have so much potential and I am SO smart; you can teach me anything!! Unfortunately my family doesn't want me anymore and I only have until Sunday to find a place to go. Please somebody save me. I am a really great guy with a ton of potential. I would be best in a home as an only dog (though I have lived with a female shepherd my whole life) and with no, or older, kids. I need to be with someone that understands my needs and can provide me with structure and boundaries. I am so sweet and love going on hikes and adventures. I am crate trained (car & home), e-collar trained, house broken, neutered and up to date on my vaccines. I am ready to go!
PLEASE CALL MICHELLE ASAP 424.625.8067
