May cry/whine for a few minutes.<br/><br/>Potty Trained: Not fully potty trained, working on it<br/><br/>Ideal Home/Adopter: Astro's ideal adopters live in a quieter neighborhood. Outdoor noises are new and scary for him. He is currently comfortable going outside to potty in his foster homes backyard but gets nervous when he hears traffic and other loud sudden noises. Astro needs a family who is patient and willing to continue to work with him on his fear of noises and fear of being abandoned. In return he will give you all the love! Astro is a herding breed so his family must understand that he will try to herd you and small kids. He is a typical 9 month old, does jump and still learning what he is allowed to chew and what he is not. He is mostly potty trained but has the occasional accident when their are loud noises outside and he is afraid to go out. Astro is a quick learner and knows the commands "sit" and "no." Astro would benefit from another confident playful dog in his home to help him feel safe and get some energy out.<br/><br/>Likes: Astro loves to give kisses, get belly rubs, play with toys and dogs, chew bones and shadow his humans. He is extremely loyal.<br/><br/>Dislikes: Astro dislikes loud sudden noises outside (traffic, thunder, nail guns, sirens...). He is currently working on these fears with his foster family. As a former country dog, he has not heard many of these noises before. Astro currently does not like walks because of all the noises outside but with training and patience we know he can be successful!<br/><br/>What makes this dog special: Astro is the sweetest boy and biggest love bug! He loves people and dogs. He is always happy and smiling. Australian Shepherds are called "wiggle butts" for a reason and Astro is no exception. He wiggles so much his entire body shakes! If he is resting and you look at him, his tail will start wagging. He is always smiling and is such an all around happy boy!<br/><br/>Adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, deworming, and the dog will be current on flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative.
