BARACK - TERRIER / AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Terrier / Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed. Meet Barack! Mr. President, to some. Barack is one of the squishiest, cuddliest, and handsomest puppies around. He's a curious and clever guy with a hint of mischief. For example, you'll notice a picture of squishy puppy Barack in a small sink. Well, you see, Barack wanted to get a closer look at the mirror-puppy, because he looked so handsome. This resulted in two handsome puppies in a too-small sink. No worries, though--Barack (and his mirror-puppy twin) were assisted out of the sink, and neither seems worse for the wear. Like other puppies his age, Barack is working on potty-training (he uses the puppy pads in the house) but also goes outside; and he is learning about all of the sights and sounds that happen outside in the world while improving his leash-walking skills. He's a sensitive guy--sometimes during walks he climbs the stairs of an apartment complex to sit for a minute while he watches things happen around him. So far he likes other animals, especially birds and dogs, and people too--sometimes he thinks it's a little scary when people walk in groups, or come close to him while he is investigating something. Barack does well in his cozy crate. He naps hard (puppy snores). LOVES: playing inside and out; with toys or without; frozen blueberries but not thawed ones (it's a texture thing); and watching nature documentaries narrated by human Barack. [sigh] Barack is the American dream dog. I can't wait for you to meet him. This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (Please note: Puppies under 3 months old may not be sterilized prior to adoption. If this is the case, your adoption coordinator will provide guidance on the process.) To adopt or learn more about this dog, you must complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website: .sandypawsrescue. PLEASE READ: • If a dog or puppy is listed, they are currently available for adoption. However, they may already be pending an adoption, and their profile may not yet reflect this. • All information is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the posting date. • Unless explicitly stated, Sandy Paws Rescue does not guarantee the breed of any dog. Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments. Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well. Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation. For information on adoption fees, procedures, or FAQs, visit our website: .sandypawsrescue. The FIRST step in adopting from Sandy Paws Rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.
