My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Zipper is a 4 year old Aussie/Lab/poodle mix. We got him from a breeder in St. Augustine, FL. I can provide contact info if needed. He has been a great companion for us, however, due to new work schedules and city living; he has been unable to receive the attention or exercise he deserves. He has the typical velcro Aussie personality, very loyal and loves to spend time with his owners. With that, we have had some issues with him being protective and nervous around strangers. He has never bite or hurt anyone, but he will sometimes show his teeth. In addition, he was hurt by another dog a year ago and has been very nervous around other animals. I attribute some of these habits to my inability to provide him with the resources he deserves. Nevertheless, he is a great dog and loving companion for those that take care of him. Ideally, I believe he would do best in a situation with a yard and experienced dog owners. This was a tough decision for us and just want a good home for our boy.
