At 2 years and 3 months old, this 70-pound Australian Shepherd mix has already lived a lifetime of challenges—and come out the other side with a heart full of love. Reggie spent over a year neglected in a small outdoor pen before being rescued, arriving underweight, injured, and unsure of people. With kindness, patience, and time, he’s blossomed into one of our most stable and affectionate boys. While he appreciates slow introductions and gentle handling, once he chooses you, you’ve earned a loyal friend for life.
