Adam is a 2 yo aussie/cattle dog mix.  He is timid around men he doesn't know yet, but not aggressive, and smiles when he's excited or nervous. We have also learned that Adam loves the water. 

Adam comes from a loving home undergoing a difficult time. His family just had a baby that is very ill in a neonatal ward. His family is spending every waking moment with their new baby at the hospital so they have no time for Adam or his dog sister Dixie the GSD, They surrendered the dogs to BDR so they would have a second chance at a loving home. The dogs did nothing wrong; they are not bad dogs, just sad circumstances.
