Introducing the delightful Ashphalt, affectionately known as Aussie! 🌟 This charming 4-year-old Border Aussie mix is sure to steal hearts with his affectionate personality and playful spirit. Those little giggles from the 4-year-old who calls him 'Ass'—short for Asphalt—just add to his charm! 😊 Aussie is the epitome of friendship, getting along fabulously with other dogs, especially those larger than 30lbs. He’s already crate and potty trained, making him the perfect addition to any loving home. Just imagine the joyful barks and playful romps! 🐶 But, a gentle reminder: he prefers to be around bigger buddies, as his enthusiastic play style might be a tad too rough for the tiny tots. When it comes to family life, Aussie takes his role very seriously. He's protective of children, keeping a watchful eye on strangers who come too close to his beloved little humans. A low to medium-traffic home is ideal for this loyal guardian. He can be a bit cautious with newcomers but warms up quickly to those welcomed inside his domain. It’s lovely to see how he's progressing in this area with a little patience and love. ❤️ Aussie's intelligence shines through, making him not just a companion, but a fantastic friend who will truly thrive in the right environment. He’s playful and loves going on walks, and he’s well-behaved in the car—perfect for those spontaneous joyrides! 🚗 Just know that he prefers the company of another dog in the home for extra fun and companionship. The adoption fee is $375, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, microchipping, and being spayed/neutered.
