My story

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

Amos is 4. He is sweet, smart and amazingly agile. We got him as a puppy. We love Aussies and he is our 3rd (one has passed) I was a very active runner/hiker and took my dogs regularly until I had a stroke when Amos was a year old. I lost all mobility in my left side. I have gradually recovered to the point where I am fairly functional, but I walk with a cane. My older dog is far less energetic and more docile. Rambunctious, playful Amos is getting to be too much for him, and I can't give Amos the exercise he needs. Our older dog doesn't put him in his place very well, so he has always thought of himself as top boy. He needs a one dog home and someone who can give him lots of exercise. We love him, and this is very hard. We are praying to find the right placement for him.
