About

Meet Saint

We are looking for a BETTER place for our 2 year old Miniature Aussie- Saint. His behavior can be “ sporadic”  with people, children and other dogs.He is very smart and loves to play fetch with his favorite blue ball! Especially at grandmas house where he has a big fenced in back yard to run around lots( grandma has three little doggies which he seems to do fine with most of the time, he also has other doggies cousins that are larger breeds and has played fine with them). We are heartbroken to even have to be considering rehoming him but we feel his sporadic reactivity that sometimes turns into aggression is happening because he is in the wrong environment (city/ apartment living- makes it hard to take on walks because he reacts to people and other doggies randomly , young kids and our long work hours). We got a mini dachshund thinking it would help if he had a playmate but he tends to play rough with his brother at times as well.  He does tend to mind better with my husband over myself. I feel he would flourish with an owner who is familiar with the breed and can train with him. Also in an environment where there are no babies or young children, possibly only dog in the home, and where he has a big fenced in yard to run and play till he gets worn out.  He is neutered and crate trained . He is a wonderful and smart dog that we feel can flourish in the right environment ❤️ if interested please our website at STFFAR.org for a online application
