Hi!  My name is Cotton Eye Joe!

Cotton Eye Joe

Breed:  Australian Shepherd

Age/Sex:  1 yr/Male

Cotton Eye Joe ARPH #10952 was born in Nov/08 and has been is rescue since he was 9 weeks old.

Cotton has so many things going for him it's hard to believe that nobody has adopted him yet.

Cotton has got to be the most happy dog I have ever met. Cotton loves life and is just happy to be alive. Cotton's tail never stops wagging. When he meets people he knows he shows so much joy that it brings a smile to the person's face. Cotton also loves to meet new people.. there are no strangers in his life. He will walk up to anyone and greet them like he's known them all of his life.

Cotton loves going for walks, loves playing in the sprinkler, loves swimming and he loves to run. Watching how Cotton walks is a sight in itself. He has such a spring to his step you would almost think Cotton is skipping. This boy loves to play with other dogs. He will play bow with his cute little butt in the air, trying to entice the other dog to play with him.. but most dogs get confused with Cotton. You're wondering why all of this is a big deal! It's because Cotton is the result of a merle to merle breeding. Why is this a big deal? When this kind of breeding occurs 25% of the pups can end up deaf, blind or both... Cotton is both. You see Cotton is deaf and has very little sight. But please do not feel sorry for Cotton because it has never stopped him from being a dog - a happy dog that loves life. A dog that smiles when he gets the scent of someone he knows. A dog that will fly up the stairs and then jump into the air to try and open the door to go outside. A dog that will jump out of bed every morning and run to the front door to wait to go out. A dog that loves to play tug. A dog that has learned to "sit" "come" and "give kiss". A dog that loves to hug. A dog that loves to talk when he needs to go out.... in other words Cotton is happy with what life gave him.

Cotton is crate trained, house broken and UTD on vetting.

Cotton is living in the
Ottawa area.
