I work with girls that help in rescue. They found out that there is this wonderful Assie that needs help. The owners still have it. The issue is---it has bitten the children twice when they demand his ball from him. He has been a backyard dog and not socilized into the FAMILY. He will play with the children but don't take my ball. That is probably all he has that is his. He is a registered in-tack male. His markings are black, white and gray. He is 4yrs. old. They will put him down Friday if they can not work things out. They are not even trying to work things out. They refuse these rescue girls access to even see him. He may be a basket full but, give the dog a chance. You do not get a dog and put it in the back yard. They are pack animals and need to learn the order. Besides, you do not have bratty kids that torment the dog. Assies need to work. Can anyone help??
