Rescued from a high-kill Animal Control facility in Rutherfordton, NC. Sheldon was picked up running loose for the 2nd time by AC officers in late October with his running buddy, Autumn.
dob: 05/01/2015...Sheldon is an absolute LOVE. He's friendly & playful, gentle & EZ-going. Crate-trained(though not a big fan of it) and walks well on-leash, gets along great with other dogs and LOVES to run and play....did I mention that he LOVES to run and play? Smart little man of only 16 lightweight pounds and full of life and smiles. Would make an excellent companion for an active early retiree or older couple. He is only 3.5yo so we are seeking a home where his person can keep up with him(no, he's NOT a 'wild child' but will require a safe play area or that his person is devoted to a daily walking regime of 1>2 mi 2X day). Please, no applicants over 65yo.
Apartment OK, but REQUIRES a safe environment where he can get the exercise that will keep him happy and contented. NO exceptions!
