Gus is year and a half old blue merle mini aussie. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all his vaccines. He is a very smart, sweet, playful and loyal boy. I got him when he was 8 weeks old and went through 2 rounds of training with him. He loves getting affection from people and playing with other dogs. He does well traveling and boarding. He can get a little anxious attached to me and want to be in the same room as me. He can get a little excited around kids but mostly wants to lick their face. He does not get along with cats. I have been too busy to spend the time with him that he needs. I am seeking a home for him where he can have plenty of activity and attention.
