Story
This boy is so so sweet but he needs owners with way more energy than my parents can provide. He is good with kids but he likes to run and chase after them play wise but it can sometimes scare the kids and I dont think he realizes that hes a lot bigger lol. He needs someone with training and time for him to release his energy. They have an older aussie as well who he wants to play and rough house with but the older one is 12 and does not want to play. He just need a home with people who will have time for him. He loves to cuddle and be brushed just poor guy is bored and we do not want him to miss out on so much!
