Australian Shepherd and Cattle Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Fort Collins, Colorado

Howdy y’all! My name is Fozzy and I came to Colorado from Texas with my brothers and sisters. So far, I think I like it here at my Colorado foster home with my sister and two big dog foster brothers. One of the most fun things I like to do is roll around in the yard...my coat is so fluffy that it makes all the dead grass in the yard stick to me! I look like a puppy scarecrow LOL. My legs are so fluffy that from the back I kind of look like a little bear cub, so I’m told. I like to play and roughhouse with my sister so much my foster mom says she should have named us Rough and Tumble (haha). Having lots of chew toys around is also one of my favorite things. But when I get tired, I like to snuggle so I’m hoping my forever family likes to do that too. I’m getting better at sleeping longer overnight in the crate with my sister, but sometimes I let my foster mom know I need to go outside for a bathroom break, then I go back to sleep. If I play in the evening before bed, that helps me sleep longer. I hope my forever family finds me soon! I’m ready to get settled in and be a fun Colorado dog.
