Chancho

Chancho is the sweetest Australian Shepherd. He just turned 4 years old and has calmed down a bit from his puppy nature. Though he’s still very playful. He loves to play fetch or just run around in the backyard. When he is inside he’s very calm and naps a lot. Chancho is extremely loving and patient with our two toddlers. He’s a great guard dog too with an intense bark. He’s generally a very vocal dog when he needs something or is outside greeting neighbors/dogs walking by. We are very sad to be finding him a new home but we pray for the right family to come along. He’s a wonderful dog.
