Saint Barts is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet of The Week

He's a herder.

Saint Barts is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He’s a 1-1/2 year old, 71 pound, male, Australian Shepherd mix.

Aussies will herd anything from birds to dogs to kids. Because of his strong work drive, Saint Barts is not a good match for a couch potato owner. He’s super smart and capable of tricking an inexperienced owner into doing anything he wants them to do.

If you’re looking for a brainy, tireless dog who wants to work out his energy then cuddle, you might want to meet Saint Barts.
