4yo Red Merle Australian Shepherd, super sweet
Big Daddy is our superhero!
In early July of this year CARS was contacted about an Australian Shepherd and Australian Shepherd Mix that were abandoned in southern Missouri. CARS immediately took action to help. What we found were two very sweet, very well behaved and handsome boys.
The boys were dirty, covered in ticks and fleas and grossly matted. A trip to our Vet was our top priority. In less than 24 hours we received the blood results.
Big Daddy was positive for Heartworms.
Thankfully we have an amazing Vet and foster home who helped Big Daddy on the road to recovery. Big Daddy finished his heartworm treatments in October and is officially off medical hold! You did it Big Daddy...wooohoooo!
Big Daddy has every great trait in an Aussie you could ask for. He is handsome, smart, loyal, friendly, fun and velcro.
He is just learning to play fetch with his foster siblings and do the fun and silly things an Aussie should be allowed to do!
He loves his foster brothers and sister, meeting people, going on car rides, long walks, playing outside with his foster siblings and being loved. Big Daddy loves his time with his human. He needs to get in those snuggles and who can resist with those gorgeous amber eyes looking up at you. Bath time and brushing? Oh yes please......let me stretch out so you can brush my whole body :)
Big Daddy knows his basic commands: sit, stay, off and recall (comes when called). He does not need a crate but will use one. He is not destructive but has been caught a few times taking clean laundry and swinging it around for entertainment.
Big Daddy is a handsome 4 year old Red Merle (with a tail) weighing 60lbs. He is up to date on all his vaccinations: Rabies, Bordetella and Distemper. He has been receiving monthly preventatives of Heartgard and Nexgard. Big Daddy is neutered. A follow up blood test will be due in March 2016 that will be covered by CARS at our Rescue Vet in Creve Coeur, Missouri.
Big Daddy has a long beautiful life ahead of him. This superhero will make an amazing companion for some lucky family/person.
He has not been tested with small children or cats. Big Daddy is not a fan of motorcycles or diesel pick-up trucks.
Sorry but no Apartments, Condos or yards that are not fully fenced will be considered for Big Daddy.
*Did we mention the adorable blue eyed Aussie Mix found with Big Daddy is his son, Junior. * Junior is healthy and living the great life with his forever family!
