Species: Dog
Breed: Australian Shepherd / Shiba Inu / Mixed (long coat)
Description: This is Aussie, she is a 55 pound Australian shepherd mix who looks a bit like a fox, doesn't she? She IS clever that's for sure. But not too many foxes love to play fetch! Aussie sure does! A tennis ball is her FAVORITE toy. Aussie also loves to go for rides in the car!!! She is great with animals that are smaller or less dominant than her.
She loves cats, in fact she plays tag with her cat pal Jack all the time. (Jack is also up for adoption & these two are available as a pair if you want a cat/dog combo that is a sure fit.) Aussie can get along with some dogs but needs to be the dominant one in the group so she could be paired up with a dog that loves to be bossed around. Aussie is an older adult but still has plenty of energy. She loves to get her hair cut, especially in the summer when it gets hot. With her full winter coat, she looks like a Chow-Chow in her body which she may also have in her, or it may20be some other version of Spitz (Chows/Shiba Inus are both members of the Spitz family.) She doesn't have the black tongue.
Aussie is spayed and up to date on all her shots as of May of 2009. She is housetrained. she has lived both indoors and outdoors. and currently outdoors. she is not microchipped.
