Fable - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Ada, Minnesota

Another tissue needed please.... Meet beautiful Fable! Another Aussie that was dumped at the same time as Pickles and Scout. This beautiful blue merle girl was left to fend for herself at a wildlife refuge (View her pictures from the day she was found to current) and found wondering several miles away. Fable appeared at the same time as Scout and Pickles. She looked like she had struggled for several days prior to a wonderful family picking her up when they saw here. Fable is estimated to be between 5-8 years old. She is protective of her people, best as an only dog, as she does not get along with other dogs, and there will be no exceptions to this rule. Fable is energetic, quite athletic, and we suspect that she may be hearing impaired if not partially deaf. However, this does not hold her back. As frustrating as it that these dogs were dumped, she has definitely come out of her shell and is now looking for her new home. Fable will be spayed soon and ready to go.
