Age: 2 years Size: 70 lbs (ideal weight is 50 lbs, needs diet & exercise) Good with: kids, cats, dogs Ashbury was surrendered to a shelter when his family lost their home. They loved him, but proper care wasn't something they were able to provide, and he's carrying the evidence — about 20 to 25 pounds overweight, moving through the world in a waddle when he should be trotting around like the beautiful Australian Shepherd he is. The good news is that he's otherwise healthy, and the fix is straightforward: a proper diet, regular exercise, and a little consistency. Underneath the extra weight is a sweet, happy dog who gets along with everyone — kids, cats, and other dogs included. Ashbury is fostered in Stamford, CT, and is available for local or out-of-state adoption as long as the adopter can travel to meet him.
