My family and I are looking to rehome our 1 year 2 month old Aussie mix. She is a sweet girl that needs and deserves a lot of attention that we cannot unfortunately keep up with. I am a stay at home mom of 2 , part time student and expecting my third baby any time now. We did not think we would need to rehome Coconut but with our schedules changing we have made the decision that it’s what’s best for her. She is a very sweet girl that loves human interaction. She is a little fearful at first when it comes to other dogs as she had an incident where a loose dog ran up to her while she was going potty, with proper introduction she will adapt well. She has never been around cats so unsure on how she’ll do. She is vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, potty and crate trained. We are just looking for a loving home where she can receive the amount of attention and exercise she needs.
