My story

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

Guiness is a 4 year old Australian Shepherd. He would thrive in a home with an owner that has herding breed experience. He can be a little nippy initially with new people, but with proper introductions to someone new he is your best friend in about 30 seconds - it is really just the intial approach of a stranger that is challenging for him, which is not uncommon for herding breeds and should be easily manageable for someone with experience with herding dogs. Once he loves you he is a needy, affectionate, eager to please boy. He is already housebroken and well behaved at home. He would not do well with small children. He has potential to do well with another dog if the dog is polite and calm and the owner is experienced with intros, but he has never lived with another dog and does need some support to get more comfortable with another dog. He is all around such an affectionate, eager to please, driven boy that would thrive in an experienced home.



Adoption fee: $150



He is neutered and current on vaccines.



*NOTE: Guiness is part of our rehoming program - a diversion program that helps keep pets out of shelters by assisting their owners in finding new homes that are a better fit so they don't need to be surrendered. This means Guiness is currently living with his original owners and all veterinary care and history and temperament history has been provided by them.
