Looking for a good home

for my dog, Casey.

Hi guys. I'm sending this to all my friends, family and acquaintances that might want or know someone who would want a great dog. He's a 2 yr. old Australian Shepherd/Chocolate Lab mix. He's very sweet, gentle, intelligent and eager to please. He doesn't have any bad doggy habits like chewing, digging, barking, or jumping up, and he is absolutely non-agressive.

The reason I'm having to find another home for him is because I got him from a rescue organization about a year ago to be a dog for my preschool age kids, but it turns out that he'd really rather be anywhere else than with the crashing, banging, yelling chaos that reigns in my house. He has a very sensitive temperament and retreats as soon as my kids come near. He would be a great companion dog for a single person, an older couple or perhaps a family with much older children. He enjoys being with other dogs and is non-aggressive toward other household pets. His greatest joy in life is going for rides in the car and he loves going for walks.

We think he might have been abused in one of his first homes because he is so very sensitive natured. He doesn't know how to play but obviously would like to. He is truly a great dog and deserves a place to live where he could be happy and be best friends with his owner. Do you know anyone who might fit this description that might be interested?

I appreciate any time or thought you could give to this.
