Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie and Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Canfield, Ohio

Vinnie is a 7 year old male Sheltie/Miniature Australian Shepherd. He currently weighs in at approximately 34 pounds, but he could absolutely stand to lose several pounds (lets say around 30 might be perfect for him). Nope, that definitely isn't just fluff, its substance! Vinny is an amazingly good boy - everything anyone could want plus stunning good looks. He is good with kids, cats (indoors) and most other dogs (we should say, POLITE dogs!). A meet and greet would be required with any resident canines in the home prior to placement. He can be particular about who is coveting his dinner, so feeding in a crate where he can have some privacy would be ideal if there are other canines about. Vinny is an active boy who is always up for adventure, but has a definite off switch and is content to cuddle up when the time comes. He loves to walk, is great on a leash, and is looking for a home with people who are active and ready to help him shed a couple pounds and stay happy and healthy. Please keep in mind that he is comprised of two very athletic and active breeds - if you want a total couch potato, this isn't the one. If you want active but not hyper - he's your dude. Vinny is crate trained, house trained, and knows how to sit, shake hands, and lay down. He has been left loose in the home during the work day and has shown no destructive behaviors whatsoever. He loves to play, loves toys, but most dearly loves a good game of tug! Nothing really scares him much - maybe an EXTRA violent thunderstorm, but run of the mill storms? He doesn't even notice. He is used to sleeping the night away on his very own dog bed, and isn't terribly vocal despite his breed mix!
