Here's what the humans have to say about me:
READY FOR ADOPTION!!
Meet Australian Shepherds Furever a 501c3 non profit, MAX 💙 Located in Lincoln, Maine
He has been with me for 2 weeks, today, and is doing fabulous.
MAX is a neutered 1 year old, Australian Shepherd with A LOT to give his person. MAX came into the rescue at 8 weeks from a backyard breeder with his littermates and has had a great start with a loving Foster. However, MAX needed some help with his impulse control and confidence, so we were happy to help this beautiful dog.
