About Columbo

Columbo here! I'm a handsome 2-3 year old Australian Shepherd/Heeler mix, weighing about 50 lbs. I'm a GREAT boy if I do say so myself! I get along with other dogs as long as we are slowly introduced and I'm gentle but prefer to keep my distance with kids less than 8 years old. I prefer larger dogs to small and I'd be OK with another dog in the home, but I enjoy all the attention, too, so I'd be fine as an only dog. I've never investigated a cat though so I'm not sure what I would think of them. I will do best with a woman in the home to help get me comfortable because I can take a little time to warm to men, but I'm never aggressive; in any situation, when I'm uncomfortable, I just want to keep my distance. Sometimes my curiosity can get the best of me, so please be patient and keep the lid on the trash can. But, I'm a fast learner and I'm VERY eager to please! My trainer says I'm one of the smartest dogs she's worked with and my recall is flawless! I walk really well on a leash now, though I was once really afraid of it! I'm neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and heartworm negative. If you want a loyal, smart, and very affectionate companion, who's an all-around good boy, fill out an application for me at WAALrescue.org/adoptions If you'd like to help us fulfill our mission of rescuing animals in crisis, apply at WAALrescue.org/volunteer
