Age: 3 months

Breed: Australian Shepherd

Sex: Male (not altered)

Location: Northwest NJ

Vet Info: Both puppies are up to date on vaccines per their owner but this has not yet been confirmed.  Each pup weighs about 16 pounds.

Owner Info: DOB 10/22/14. These two adorable puppies are in need of rescue!  They were bred by their owners but their owners cannot keep them.  They are also very worried for the pups' safety as they live on a large farm with ponds, woods, and farm equipment and all of the dogs have free range of the farm when out.  Their owners write, "We bred two Aussies and these two dogs ended up with the double Merle trait resulting in dog 1 (with the tail) being completely blind and deaf and dog 2 (with the one eye) in being completely deaf and partially blind. These puppies were born October 22nd and since then have been getting all necessary vet care including shots. They are very playful and enjoyable to be around but our farm is over 100 acres with many ponds, woods, farm equipment and some mountains with rough terrain. Currently at the farm we have other dogs that move as a pack and have free range of the farm when out. My family and I feel these dogs would need care and constant supervision that we simply cannot provide due to the surroundings. We want a happy life for these dogs and would hate to see something happen because of the layout of our property." The puppies are indoor dogs who are crated.  They are not yet housebroken, but are leash trained.  Their owners describe them as outgoing, and they are good with people of all ages!  They live with many other animals including horses, other dogs, goats, chickens and cats, and are good with all.  Their owner also writes that they have a two-year old, and the puppies "play and jump a bit, they have never gotten aggressive or bitten her. They are very well tempered."  The puppies are not possessive of toys, treats, or food and have never bitten or snapped.  Other than their vision and hearing, their owner says they are healthy!  "They eat and play and love people and animals. We're just worried about their well being here. The sooner they can be rehomed the better for their overall safety."
