Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Wilmington, DE Meet Marley! He is an 2 year old Australian Shepherd and weighs 62 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, and on heartworm prevention. Marley is good with kids! He hasn’t been tested around cats. No dogs, due to his reactivity! He is housebroken and crate-trained. The owner is surrendering him because he doesn’t get along with the other dog in the home. He needs to find a new furever home as soon as possible! If you think you can provide a great home for Marley, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions. This fee will be donated to Australian Shepherds Furever for their assistance in placing Marley. Owner’s Contact Information: Stephen at stephen.vucetic@yahoo.com.

Story
We bought rocky in 2019 from Zimmers pets in Boyertown, PA. Recently, his behavior has changed and although he's 99% happy silly dog that just wants to play, occasionally he shows his teeth at my children and we feel like it's a threatening situation. He hasn't broken their skin with nips or bites, but we still feel like he should be rehomed to someone without little ones and without other animals that can work with him. The perfect adopter in my mind would be a single male that can play ball and take him swimming and have fun with him and know not when to push boundaries (kids don't have that ability). We do not take Rocky on walks anymore or leave him outside because he's jumped through the electric fence and bit a neighbor before (1.5 years ago), and shortly after that incident he was on a walk and someone came up to greet him and he tried to bite her as well. Additionally, a nice lab in the neighborhood ran out of her yard and attacked Rocky while we were walking him.
