Description

Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd (medium coat). APPLICATION REQUIRED from .dashdog Adoption Fee $350 ***We don't know how to make this more clear: OUR APPLICATION IS NOT THE PETFINDER APP; OUR APPLICATION IS ON .dashdog. PLEASE complete OUR application if you are interested in meeting our dogs or puppies! Without OUR application being completed, you WILL NOT be considered or receive any communication from us. Thank You! ***AND our listed dogs ARE READY IMMEDIATELY; we only meet with families WHO ARE READY TO ADOPT! IF YOU APPLY and WE APPROVE YOU it means we are assuming when you meet any of our dogs and fall in love you're ready to ADOPT AND TAKE HIM OR HER HOME! Finn is the beautiful, friendly, prototypical velcro-Aussie who cannot get enough petting and cuddling. His current owner is gone for regular work hours and though he loves Finn he wants a more attentive lifestyle for him. He also lives in an apartment and feels a home and yard to sniff and roam around would be Finn’s dream home. Although Finn is leash-trained and enjoys walks he’s not a running-partner. He likes to stop and sniff around so if you want a dog for exercise he may not be the best, but if you like to enjoy leisurely walks where you stop to smell the roses then Finn would love to take those walks with you! As previously stated Finn is a Velcro-dog; he is currently glued to his owner from the minute he comes home to the time he leaves; his owner acknowledges that if he was home more Finn would become more secure and less clingy - which is why we are helping to find him a new home. Finn loves his bone, tug of war ropes toys and his ball to play fetch. He also loves the herding ball outside. Finn is eager to please and knows several commands. He likes pets or treats as rewards for training and is always responsive when learning new commands. Finn isn’t a regular barker but in apartment life there are always other dogs, bikes, scooters, strollers and other overstimulating distractions. scooters, skateboards, and bikes. His only real anxiety is about storms and thunder which is very common for Aussies. He is not destructive just prefers his human to be with him or to be in his crate IF it’s left open as a safe-space. Finn is also very friendly. If a new person makes a noise in his direction he will place himself in front of them expecting to be petted. His owner says “the vets office loves having him when I have left him there for boarding during travel.” We are really looking for Finn to have a home where his humans are around most of the time; whether working from home or younger retirees he craves and deserves the attention. His personality is typical of most Aussies he’s just not yet had the kind of home that fits him. APPLICATION REQUIRED from .dashdog Adoption Fee $450 - the fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE and is not specific for any dog or puppy; it goes to the expenses of the organization as a whole* OUR APPLICATION IS ON .dashdog and must be completed in order to set up a meeting. Our listed dogs ARE READY IMMEDIATELY; we only meet with families WHO ARE READY TO ADOPT! IF YOU APPLY and if WE APPROVE YOU it means we are assuming when you meet any of our dogs and fall in love you're ready to ADOPT AND HIM OR HER HOME! General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city. Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities. We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD. Please READ ALL of our info below BEFORE SENDING APPLICATION. Our goal is to help our puppies and dogs find FOREVER HOMES AND FAMILIES, NOT TO MAKE IT PROHIBITIVE FOR YOU TO ADOPT. However, once we review the application and contact you, we MEET TO ADOPT, so please let us know if you are ONLY APPLYING TO STAY ON FILE or THAT YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT, for the consideration of our puppies and dogs and families who know the time is right!
