Description:

Princeton 1 year old neutered mini AussieUp to date on shotsHeartworm and Lyme negativeCurrently on Interceptor Plus heartworm prevention Princeton is a curious and comical one year old pup in a small package. He is a miniAussie standing just 16 inches tall and weighing 24 lbs. Princeton had very little exposure during his puppy stage in life and spent 19 days in a shelter. We have no idea what his life was like before that except that we were told he was crated most of the time. Princeton came to ASF with a urinary tract infection and reactive to being put back in hiscrate. He would thrash around and try to bite the person holding the collar. This isunderstandable since he probably got out very little at the shelter was possibly handledwith some force. He is adapting quite well to his new surroundings and loves having astable environment. He can still be reactive when his collar is grabbed, so an adopterwill need to continue to work on making it a positive experience. He does this out offear, not aggression. He now willingly goes in his crate with a treat at night or when noone is home. He might bark for a short time but quickly settles down. Princeton’s energy is infectious, and he loves to play with his foster sisters who aretwice his size (although he can play rough and needs a tolerant playmate). He wouldexcel on a farm or with an active family with a fenced yard and some playmates. Although he is small, he still has a herd drive and has not been tested with smallchildren, cats, or other small animals. Princeton tends to jump and play nip whenexcited, but he is getting much better. He does not like men but will gradually warm up to them. He will growl and bark but has never tried to bite a new person. Princeton is mostly housebroken but still has the occasional accident. He gets soexcited playing with his friends; that he forgets to do his business. Usually, he is veryvocal and talks to you when he wants to go out. Princeton still needs some work on leash training and basic commands and would do well in obedience or agility classes. He requires ample playtime and socialization as he is still a puppy at heart. He does have some separation anxiety so having other canine companions will help. His new owner will need to have patience with him and willing to work through his few behavioral problems. Continued training will be essential. Princeton seems to get better every day. If you can open your heart to this little fellow,please fill out an application today. He is ready for his furever home.
