Looking to Keep Busy? Dog of the Week

I want to run, jump, play, fetch and do whatever else will wear you -- and your kids -- out.

Do you often wonder, 'where do my kids get all this energy?' Have you found yourself sending your kids outside frequently to run off all their extra energy? Have you day dreamed about hiring a nanny to take them off your hands for a bit when they are bouncing off the walls?  

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then I may be the dog for you! 

My name is Kelly and I’m an Australian cattle dog.  Not only does that mean I’m smart, but I have lots of energy. My instincts make me great at herding cattle, so I would also be great at rounding up active kids outside. Unlike Sammy,  who is looking for an adult companion, I want a family. 

I guess you could say my biological clock is ticking. 

I would love to be in a home with active kids that I can play with every day.  I would love to run around outside with them, play fetch, and whatever else it takes to tire us all out. So if I sound like the right match for your kids, stop by today to meet me!

What an adorable boy! Please note that ACDs (Kelly looks to be an ACD mix) are wonderful dogs, but usually not the best dog for a first-time owner. They need a lot of exercise and mental stimulation, and most would do best in a "dog savvy" home. But they are amazingly smart and eager to please (they are working dogs, and they want a "job" to do), so they really make fantastic pets, as long as the owner knows what they are getting into!
