About Gomer

Gomer is a 5-and-a-half-year-old, large Australian Shepherd and Collie mix who looks quite different depending on his haircut. Shaved, he keeps his ears perked most of the time—a real departure from his usual fluffy look, and even his former owner had to double-check it was him after the groom. Whatever his hairstyle, Gomer’s temperament shines through. He’s social and relaxed around people, dogs, kids, and even cats. If you want a big, loyal lap companion, he’s game (yes, he actually considers himself a lap dog). Gomer prefers human company but is pretty easygoing in new environments. He’s house trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. If you’re looking for a good-natured, adaptable big dog who slots in easily with other pets or kids, Gomer might be the one.
