Bongo is a very sweet Australian shepherd mix who is only about 9 months old, but he is already house trained and has great manners.

He loves to play with other dogs, and is very friendly with people. Bongo is ready to go to training classes to learn about walking on a leash instead of running, and would do best in a household where he would get lots of exercise.

Bongo is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes.
