Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi my name is Sven, I am 5 years old and looking for my furever family. I love working from home with my foster, enjoy going to sniff spots and love taking naps.
I am the typical Aussie as I follow my foster everywhere, protect my house, and love to play. I am very smart and love to snuggle.
I need a special type of home and a new family that will continue to help me get past my past training. I was trained inappropriately with a shock collar and I am so nervous when I see another dog as I was shocked for barking to have them back off. I have gotten so much better with my fosters but it has taken a while and a lot of snacks. I need a family that will only use positive training, has a 6 foot privacy fence, and will snuggle with me.
I currently love playing with my foster brothers and tolerate the cat that lives in my foster house but I may not want to live with another dog. In my previous life I lived with a toddler and that did not go well , but do well with older kids. I love to be active and look forward to finding my furever family.
Sven is being fostered in Colorado for Australian Shepherds Furever, we are a 501c3 and are PACFA licensed. Please email asfmtnrep@gmail.com or PM Melissa Taylor for more information.
All pups in our care are up to date on vaccines, microchipped,m spayed/neutered and loved. We do home inspection and reference checks. Sven is very obedient and smart, needs someone to call his furever.
There is an additional $20 microchip fee which covers the registration and transfer to Sven's new family. All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.
