Australian Shepard Dog for Adoption

My wife and I are currently fostering a very sweet Australian Shepherd named Butters who's looking for his forever home! If you or anyone you know may be interested in adopting Butters, please reach out! Please see below for a review of our first week with Butters:

Butters has settled into our home almost right away, and aside from 2 accidents on the first day, he's got into a great routine and only goes to potty outside. If he does need to go outside of the routine, he will indicate by going to the door and giving a soft paw. We've bathed him at the local pet shop, trimmed his nails and matted patches and he did very well with both. He loves all the pampering and melts at our feet whenever he sees the brush. He plays great with our resident dog and although getting a little excited and pulling towards other dogs on leash, he has done well at politely greeting dogs on walks so far. He settles very well in the crate and can be left for around 6h during the day or longer overnight without any accidents. He has also come to work with my wife a couple of days a week and settles in his crate or by her feet after exploring the new space.

Right now, we're working on slow introductions to new people as past trauma has made him wary of fast approaches over the head, but with plenty of treats (did we mention he's very treat motivated?!), he's learning to trust new people very quickly, after just a couple of interactions. We're also working on leash training, sit, stay, down, wait, leave it, paw, touch and stay after just a week at our place. He's smart and he learns quickly, and he's eager to please with positive and neutral reinforcement. He's a medium-energy dog who needs one good walk and some mental stimulation, but also settles in the house very well and absolutely loves snuggles and belly rubs, so will cosy up on the couch in the evenings!
