Neptune merges classic Aussie intelligence with energetic good looks. This 2.5-year-old, 50 lb Australian Shepherd/Heeler mix is eager for an experienced handler who knows how to set boundaries and provide structure. He’s high-energy, athletic, and has that distinctive blue merle coat that makes heads turn. Needing both physical activity and mental engagement, Neptune wants a job to do and gravitates toward the main caretaker in the home, sometimes becoming protective. He’d do well in a home with a single person who has the confidence and know-how to guide him. He plays well with other dogs after a proper introduction and spends his days romping in the rescue’s play yard. Despite his playful and social nature, Neptune’s adopter should have strong leadership skills to help him thrive. He is affectionate, eager to please, vaccinated, microchipped, house trained, and neutered. Click apply to start the adoption process.
