Ohio recommendations
Hey all! I grew up with a mini aussie mix (she is currently the sassiest 15 year old living with my mom in Tennessee, see above) and really want to get one again. She has been my darling girl since I was like 14 and now that I have an apartment if my own, I miss having a gremlin wiggle butt running around. I wanted to see if anyone in Ohio or edges of surrounding states would have any recommendations of where I could find a mini. Every time I have found one on petfinder, she gets adopted before they view my application 🥲
For background, I don't particularly want a puppy, I just don't have the time to fully train a very young pup, I'd much rather a girl between 1 and 7 years old who knows the ropes and we just continue training, instead of a blank slate. I am partial to females, I just love how sassy and silly they are. My fianceé only stays over on weekends for the next year, and they have a 6 year old male boarder collie aussie mix. He absolutely adores having a sibling, and is great with other dogs as my partner used to foster (he was also raised with cats, which I am unfortunately very allergic to, so my partner's cats now live with their parents). He is very gentle when playing with smaller animals, until they give the green light, then it's goofy bouncy play until someone is tired. I live in an apartment, however there is a big open yard that we already play fetch and tug in.
Pictures of my sassy girl and our silly boy for tax. Don't mind her balding back, she goes to the vet regularly, and she gets sweaters in the winter. She's just old and grumpy lol
