Description

Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd / Rat Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). ARGOS HAS NOT COMPLETED HIS VETTING AND WILL NOT BE NEUTERED UNTIL EARLY DECEMBER 2025. APPLICATIONS ARE ONLY BEING ACCEPTED FROM WITHIN A 30 MINUTE RADIUS OF DES MOINES UNTIL AFTER HE HAS BEEN NEUTERED. Argos is 5 pounds of soft, fuzzy sweetness! He and his siblings were surrendered to Hope as an "Oops!" litter recently. His father is a Mini Aussie Shepherd and mom is a Rat Terrier mix. Argos definitely takes after his father in looks and temperament. He lets you know with just a few, short yips or barks that he is feeling: 1) Very hungry and right now! 2) Very neglected as you left the room and didn't ask for his approval. 3) Very put out when you let someone else lay in his designated spot on the bed, or 4) that you didn't pick him up immediately when it was time to go outside. Aside from these minor issues, he is working diligently on potty training and learning his proper place in his foster home. He is in a home with his sister, Juniper and four foster siblings of various ages and sizes. He is untested with cats in his foster home, although the owner advised the puppies were good around cats. Siblings Juniper (F) Stella Luna (F) Argos (M) Batty Koda (M) Fang (M) If you are interested in meeting Argos, 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.
