Some day all pets will come from adoption fairies...........

Kitties and Big dogs need love too !!!!!! 

Bailey is a Mini Australian Shepherd born September 6, 2013.  He gets along great with other dogs and is crate trained.  He is playful and loving with people of all sizes. He does not have a nippy temperament at all even with strangers. He does have the usual shyness about strangers, but warmed up to everyone here quickly. This is a loving breed that forms very close bonds with their owner.  As we have volunteers, we are working with him on a leash but, he will probably still need a little work in his new home.  This handsome boy will make a great, active companion.  Bailey is neutered, heartworm negative and current on shots, heartworm and flea prevention.

The preferred height of this breed ranges from 14 to 18 inches (35 to 46 cm) at the withers and the weight is typically between 17 and 30 pounds (9 to 14 kg). Mini Aussies are easily trained, but their intelligence and drive require obedience training and plenty of interesting activity. They are easily trainable because they crave approval. Once given proper socialization they will thrive in a variety of environments, provided they have an adequate outlet for both physical and mental energy. If they are not allowed adequate stimuli they may become destructive. Because of their herding background, they also may have the tendency to try to herd people, especially small children, nipping at their heels. As long as this behavior is put in check when they are young, they will generally be fine. They are social dogs and form close attachments to their owner. As a result, some may suffer separation anxiety. Minis function well as a family dog, but their excessive energy may need to be checked around small children. They are generally great house dogs but do require a large amount of exercise. They are particularly apprehensive with strangers.
