Ruben is a very beautiful 1 1/2 year old who looks like an Australian Shepherd/ maybe Border Collie blend. He’s full grown at about 45 pounds He’s definitely a super attractive dog in many ways. Everybody loves Aussie shepherds and for good reason. Aussies are smart, gentle, affectionate, good looking, and make wonderful family dogs. He’s athletic, attentive, fun, and funny. Ruben is housebroken and crate trained, and he’s wonderful with other dogs and has been around goats and horses and donkeys and even chickens. He’s not a barker and it’s not a big shedder, and he’s also doesn’t wander off or ever jump fences or dig in the garden. Ruben has a wonderful pure white shimmering silky soft coat with a few dark speckles and blackish silvery ears — he is really one handsome fellow! Although Ruben is playful and athletic, he is not at all hyper - he's just a lot of fun, and he's gentle and mellow - he'd never think of nipping or biting anyone. Of course, he’s neutered and up-to-date on all his shots, and I have his med records for his new forever family. I am a firm believer is having potential adopters take a pup home for a “sleepover” to see how your family, your other pets, and your new best buddy all get along. We always take our rascals back if it isn’t a good fit. To meet this beautiful pupper and the rest of my foster pups (and maybe even have a sleepover), pls email findabestbuddy@gmail.com or call 858-602-2061
