We’re looking for a loving home for our 5-year-old purebred Australian Shepherd (62 lbs). He’s a gentle, docile boy with a sweet personality who loves being around people. He’s currently living with a busy family, including young children and another dog, and he does wonderfully in that environment.
He’s affectionate, loyal, and eager to be part of family life—whether that’s relaxing by your side or joining in on outdoor adventures. He’s healthy, well cared for, and ready to bring lots of love to his new home.
If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a calm, loving nature, this Aussie could be the perfect fit.
