Story
Hello, my name is Ginger-snap. You have never met a more gorgeous, sweet fellow. I am all Australian Shepherd. I have never had a family of my own. When I was born my human mom decided I would become part of her breeding stock. My human mom was a backyard breeder. So as time moved on, all my littermates got homes. I was left to grow up with minimal human touch. One day my human mom became sick and she realized she couldn't take care of all she had. So, here I am. I am being neutered on March 3, 2026. I will be ready to travel the following week. Please find a place in your heart for a sweet boy like me. Please send an email requesting an application for adopting me, alittlelonger2home@gmail.com. when you receive the application, please fill out in full including your three references email addresses. Your references cannot be related to you. Ginger-snap Male Neutered 03/03/2026 Breed Australian Shepherd Color Tri-color with white Age 7months (as of 02/23/2026) Weight 27lbs Great with people, older children, dogs/puppies, and cats/ kittens.
