Buddy and Nemo Australian Shepherd Newborn, GA

Hi! I am Buddy and my son is Nemo.
I am 9 yrs old and am a special needs guy. My son is 7 yrs old and has no disabilities other than being very shy.

We have been together Nemo's whole life, and he is my best friend and we love each other very much. We never want to be in separate homes but to remain together forever.

We lived in a small outdoor kennel together for many, many years until a nice lady picked us up and took us to her house to foster.

I am deaf, but my foster mom as taught me sign language and she says that I am super smart. I also have no vision in one eye.

I love to be with people and love other animals. Nothing phases me. I love everything that I come into contact with.

I may be special needs, but my heart is 100% full of love. People say I am as sweet as they come.

My son, Nemo was never properly socialized and learned that not all people are kind, so he has me as his security blanket. Nemo likes his foster family and has learned that it is ok to wag his tail and show affection.

I am constantly telling him that he is now safe and to enjoy life, and he is learning that I am correct. Aren't parents always?

We now get to come inside our fosters home, and we enjoy being a part of their family. We are allowed to lie on couches, which I love to do, but Nemo is still afraid of the couch and prefers to lie on the floor.

We both know how to potty outside and love playing with the other dogs inside the fosters home.

They say that I am always smiling, which is true, because I've never been more happier in my life.

We both have had all our shots and have been neutered and now need to find our own home so our foster can have hers back. She says she has too many living inside, and we don't want to go back outside where it is cold. We love it so much inside.

I am a double Merle Aussie and Nemo is all me, but I can't remember who his mama was, so we call him a mix.

We have both been told that we are very handsome and that is all that matters.
If you have a patient home, that will allow us to acclimate inside your family, AND a fenced in yard to keep both of us safe, please fill out the paperwork to meet us...Nemo and I are desperately needing a safe and a family willing to overlook my handicaps but instead concentrate on the love that I want to share with my family.
