Dog Name: Cheeto Breed: Australian Shepherd Sex: M Age: 4 Weight: 50lbs Medical Needs: NA Housebroken: Yes Crate trained: Yes Good in the car: Yes Good on a leash: Yes Energy level: Low/medium Need a fenced in yard: Would benefit, but with regular walks and alternative stimulation isn’t necessary Dog Friendly: Yes If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No Cat Friendly? Yes, but attempts to herd Kid Friendly: Yes, but fearful of young children If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? 10 and up. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Incredibly smart and loves having a job or purpose. Very routine-oriented and thrives on structure. Playful and energetic; loves puzzles, games, and obstacle courses. Extremely loyal and people-oriented; wants to be included in everything. Very affectionate once he trusts you. Great with other dogs and generally submissive/playful. Can be food/resource (high value toys and treats) protective. Will need to be monitored with toys initially and given space at feedings. Doesn’t like being picked up or physically moved; responds best to calm redirection. Does best with people who respect his boundaries and keep him mentally engaged. Overall, he’s a sweet, quirky, devoted dog who wants to feel like part of the family.

Story
Ashur has social and separation anxiety and allergies. He needs and deserves attention that I am not able to provide him. He has a lot of energy and loves to play. He needs a human that has a lot of patience and will love him unconditionally. He will surely return the favor. He loves to cuddle. While Ashur may not do well with strangers, once he is familiar with you (doesn't take long) he is a very loving, attached, cuddly 6 year old dog. 🥰I cannot give him what he needs and can't do this anymore. He is bored and lonely majority of the day being home alone for a minimum of 12 hours daily. I also learned the hard way that I am allergic to dogs. I will have to put him to sleep soon if I am unable to find Ashur a new home because I cannot find a shelter that will take him. Please help. He needs a new home as soon as possible.
