Rehoming 1yr old miniature Australian Shepherd

Boston MA

Description

She is a great dog. We have had her since she was six weeks old. I have the breeder documents and all her vet records. My son has a brain injury and the dog's barking is impacting his recovery. The dog isn't crazy with the barking, but she barks to tell us what she wants, and really any barking is painful for my son. She is charming and wants to be with her family all the time. She could go off leash all over Boston and she'll never leave you. She goes into stores with us and has perfect manners. She has bad eyesight in one eye so she is not as fast a runner as her breed and she doesn't catch balls or frisbees as well as her breed. Otherwise, she's a genius and can learn a trick after two tries. She loves water. She gets along with all dogs immediately. She needs to warm up to strange people. She sits next to me for hours while I garden. She absolutely has to be walked twice a day. And she cannot be left alone for long periods of time. She's a herding dog. There is a $450 fee because if you can't afford the $450 you won't be able to deal with her. She needs to go to the vet regularly, she needs to be groomed periodically, and she has to have a consistent diet. She is not motivated by treats, she is motivated by praise from her special person. She is completely focused on making her special person happy.
