Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Chehalis, Washington

Take me home today!
I was brought in as an owner surrender. I am a very sweet but shy girl, estimated to be around 5 years old. I am a Mini Aussie and should weigh close to 35lbs, instead, I am closer to 45lbs. I am a bit larger than I should be and will need to find a home that will help me get back into shape! I am extremely loving, but I do NOT like kids! I have been nippy with them in the past and would only do well with ages 10 and up. I know all basic commands, but I can be stubborn and hardheaded at times. I walk well on a leash and am both crate trained and housebroken. I do well with pretty much any other animal! I have been around dogs, cats and all kinds of farm animals in my lifetime and did great! I am already spayed, vaccinated and microchipped, now ready to meet my new forever family!
