Jimmy - Australian Shepherd Dog Available for Adoption in Fries, Virginia

Jimmy is an adorable 2–3 year old Australian Shepherd weighing around 25–30 pounds with an incredibly sweet and loving personality. He absolutely adores people and wants nothing more than to be close to his humans. If you give him the chance, he’ll happily try to crawl right into your lap for cuddles.

Jimmy gets along well with other dogs, cats, and livestock, making him a great fit for a variety of homes. He rides wonderfully in the car and settles quietly for travel. He is kennel trained and does well in his kennel, though at this time we are still unsure if he is fully house trained.

Before coming to us, Jimmy had never been on a leash, but he has been slowly learning and gaining confidence every day. He is eager to please, affectionate, and has such a gentle soul. Jimmy is the kind of dog that forms strong bonds with his people and will make a loyal, loving companion for a very lucky family.
