Brian's Story

Brian is a lovely red bi Aussie 4 years old and weighs 38 pounds. He rides well in the car, allow you to handle and groom him and seems lovely with kids, but he is pretty much wishing he could live outdoors. That was what he was used to his whole life, living in a pen with not much human contact. Brian is very submissive but he will avoid human contact if he can. Once caught he is fine though. But he will need a home with a secure fence and preferably not too much undergrowth where he can hide. A leash and collar panics him unless you go very slowly and gently. We're working on that, and an EZ Walk harness where you attached the leash to a ring on the chest section works much better. With kindness and gentle handling he has made some progress walking on leash but it may take a while till he can really walk along without dropping anchor.<br/><br/>?He crates fine, and sleeps through the night with no fuss. Left loose in the house he goes to doors or windows seeking to get outdoors so that will hopefully pass as he gets accustomed to life indoors and being loved on.<br/><br/>Brian is fostered in Collegeville PA. <br/><br/>To apply for him please visit www.ns4ar.org
