Australian Shepherd and Cattle Dog Dogs Available for Adoption

Jester is a handsome pup with a fantastic personality. Just about a year old, he's a great mix of Australian shepherd and heeler which means he's incredibly smart and so very silly. Jester loves to go exploring, hiking, and walking. He has so much fun in water or playing with toys, but he doesn't have over-the-top energy.

Jester is fantastic in his crate, good on a leash, and is doing great with potty training. He is good with dogs, kids, and cats and is impressively quiet, even when there's a lot going on.

Because Jester is hearing impaired, he's learning hand signals and is doing great with responding to facial expressions. He already knows sit, down, and come and is a very quick learner.
Jester would prefer an active home with a physical, fenced yard. This friendly boy loves meeting new dogs and new people. He's being fostered in the St. Louis area.
