My 4 year old Australian Shepherd was playing fetch with my son and became toy aggressive over the ball. She bit him in the face and has since been staying at my moms house. We have been trying to find her a new home but have been unsuccessful so far. We met with only one person who showed interest but it did not work out.

April is a pure bred Aussie. She can be food and toy aggressive towards other dogs. She loves to go hiking and is a great companion that needs a lot of attention. April needs to go to a home with no other dogs or small children. Up to date on all shots, spayed, and she’s microchipped.

She is very loving and friendly towards people and will help the burglar with the door. She is also playful with other dogs at dog parks but is territorial at home. She has been stressed since we had our son and hasn’t adjusted.

If any of you know someone who would be interested please IM or email me. Any help is greatly appreciated.

How much does she weigh?

Is she house broken/potty trained?

Is she a heavy barker, normal, or quiet?

Does she get car sick?  Does she like long car rides?

She is 45-50 lbs

She will use a dog door or will either bark or scratch once and sit when she needs to go to the bathroom.

She barks when she wants to play or someone comes to the door.

Does not get car sick and will sit in the back seat quietly on the drive. Average drive to visit family is 1.5 hours and she has no issues.

That sucks.
I just don't have the space.

Bump for someone who needs exercise and a high energy dog to do it with.

3 dogs, 2 cats here…
We got ours through the Arizona border collie rescue. They might have a contact for you get your dog into a new home.  Good people

Sorry to hear about that!  We are already have 3 dogs or we might consider taking her.  I have gotten 4 Aussies from this rescue in Arizona:

Aussie and Friends Rescue

They have foster volunteer experts in Tucson, Phoenix, Payson and Flagstaff that will take your dog and if they can't train some of that aggressiveness out will find the right home for her.

@Rex_Allen  I just wanted to make sure you saw my post about Aussie and Friends. They will find a great home for your Aussie.  What is the status of her right now?

I did see. Thank you. If I can’t find someone soon I will reach out to them.

Currently have some interest from a good friend. He wouldn’t be able to take her till sometime in Jan due to not knowing if he will be getting a place locally or further south.
