Story
Eli is a 6.5 year old Aussie who his people made the hard decision to surrender after he began nipping their toddler. They worked with trainers and don’t believe the behavior was intended to harm their child, but herding instead. Despite their best efforts, nothing was able to change his behavior. They reached out to us over a month ago and drove all the way from Georgia to find a rescue they believed would do right by him and keep him in a low-stress environment. We haven’t known Eli long but from what we have seen and have been told about him, he’s a super sweet and loving boy and should have no trouble finding a new forever home! As long as there are no small children, he’s the perfect dog! He’s crate trained, house trained, and has basic obedience. He’s very food motivated but due to his weight we recommend keeping extra snacks to a minimum. He’s friendly to all humans and good with smaller dogs. He’s good with bigger dogs too after a proper introduction, but he’s a bit fearful of them at first. Cats and other small animals a no-no though. He does need to lose some weight, but aside from that Eli is totally healthy and ready to be adopted! He’s microchipped, neutered, UTD on his vaccines, prevention, heartworm tested negative, and has a negative fecal test.

Story
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.  ##1975487##
