Tex Australian Shepherd Los Alamitos, CA

Please read the dog's entire bio before you apply. Sadly, we are no longer able to respond to every application, but if your application appears to be a good match for the dog we will reach out within 3 days.
Tex is a male mini/toy australian shepherd, he is 14 lbs now but really should go down to closer to 12 lbs. Tex is 5-6 years old and so sweet and calm. Tex gets along with other dogs and is a very sweet boy. His original owner passed away a few years ago and left him and Dolly behind. Different family members have been passing them around but none were able to really take care of them full time. He has a dry thin coat due to fleas and poor nutrition but in no time at all his coat will be back to thick and beautiful. He has the best ears and such a pretty expression. He is good on the leash and appears to be housetrained. We would love to see him placed in a quieter home with someone home most of the time and/or other calm dogs.
Most of our dogs are not available to an out of the area adoption because of difficulty to follow up.
