Charli - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Syracuse, New York

Meet Charli, the epitome of an Aussie with her stunning, beautiful soft Red Merle coat with the brightest blue eyes. She is a 4y/o retired Australian Shepherd from an Ohio Puppy Mill. This girl shines bright when she sees her person, little shy meeting new people, then her Aussie "wiggle butt" shakes which adds to her charm. She absolutely thrives on human attention and prefers to be with her person 24/7 giving them 100% loving. Charli has adjusted very well to house living and is house trained with regular potty breaks. She is learning what toys and chew bones are. She sleeps very quietly at night in her kennel if she can see her person. She is not a fan of her kennel during the day or being alone. She rides great in the car lying down and prefers this to being left home. This girl is not a jumper so she needs a lift to get in and out of the car. Charli loves walking on wooded trails that are quieter walking right beside you, she is learning walking past people/dogs are ok. She does not like tension on her collar so she will stay by you or stop if you pull on the leash. She just needs encouragement to keep walking once she stops. She has met a 4 year old child and does well as long as children respect her space and boundaries going slower and quieter. If you would like to adopt Charli please fill out an adoption application. Her $475 application fee covers medical up to adoption to include vaccines, spay, microchip, transportation to NY and foster care.
