CHICKADEE - BEARDED COLLIE / TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Bearded Collie / Terrier / Mixed (short coat). CHICKADEE HAS NOT COMPLETED HER VETTING AND WILL NOT BE SPAYED UNTIL SEPTEMPER 24. APPLICATIONS ARE ONLY BEING ACCEPTED FROM WITHIN A 30 MINUTE RADIUS OF DES MOINES UNTIL AFTER SHE HAS BEEN SPAYED. Chickadee is a female, approximate 8 lbs., Bearded Collie mix puppy born in our rescue on June 2, 2025. She is 10 weeks old on August 11. Chickadee is a sweet little girl that loves playing with other dogs and toys. She is still young so needs to work on house training and kennel training. Her momma is 35 lbs., and we don't know who daddy is, but we expect Chickadee to be a medium sized dog full grown, likely under 45 lbs. Chickadee will do well with dogs, cats, and kids with supervised introductions, training, and experience. She is a gentle, beautiful, scruffy brindle girl who loves to run in the grass and play outside. Her favorite game is tug of war. She enjoys neck scratches, while being right next to her people. She enjoys cuddle time and will be a fantastic family companion. She enjoys the company of the canine fur siblings in her foster home but is a bit shy around the largest dog. Chickadee would likely do well with another dog who is gentle and respectful and gives her time to make friends. Chickadee's gentle, playful nature will make her an amazing member of any family. Siblings: Starling (F), Robin (F), Chickadee (F), Sparrow (F), Dove (F), Finch (M), Crow (M), Wren (M), and Hawk (M) If you are interested in meeting this puppy, please complete an online application at hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.
