Silas is being fostered in Beloit WI
Silas is a red tri male standard Australian Shepherd. He is an 8-year-old boy with an incredibly expressive face. His coloring looks like a rich espresso with creamy, caramel bits, and he wears his heart in is eyes. Silas has a very sweet and kind nature. He came to rescue because his family had their 4th child and the baby had allergies to him. He grew up with small children, ages 5, 3, 1 and newborn.
He isn't a high-energy boy, and would love nothing more than to lay next to you with his head on your lap. He's always up for a ride and loves to sit shotgun if you let him. He would make an excellent sidekick. He has wonderful house manners being fully potty trained, and not a marker. He is also treat motivated and will sit or give a paw if you ask him. He is currently sharing a home with another Aussie and has a tendency to herd his housemate which can lead to frustration. A very submissive friend as a roomie may work, but it may be best if he were an only dog. It seems Silas grew up with a yard to run in, or was trained to walk unleashed as he could use some leash manners. At 50 pounds, he could pull harder than he does which speaks to his gentle nature.
He does not show any prey drive and prefers to stay close to his family whether leashed or unleashed. Silas is soft outside and in, and wants nothing more than to love and be loved. Does he sound like your new sidekick?
Silas is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, negative for all tick borne disease and on monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworm.
