My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! My name is Tommy and I am a herding mix puppy (cattle dog x Aussie x kelpie and maybe a few other things thrown in). I was rescued from a rural shelter with my brother Jerry when we were just tiny babies. We are growing like weeds! I am an active and playful little pup. I love to cuddle with my foster mama and act like a big shot with all the adult dogs in my foster home. I would love an active family that will take me on lots of outdoor adventures. A fenced yard is a must in my new home. I am still a bit mouthy and have a pretty strong herding drive, so a home without small/young children would be best. Kids over the age of 13 yr would be "OK". I am crate-trained, 95% housebroken (I still have an accident every once in awhile) and up-to-date on my vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting me, please contact kathie@herdinghaven.org. (Please note; adopters must be over 21 yr of age).

More about this rescue

Herding Haven is a non-profit (501c3) organization that rescues and rehabilitates dogs with special needs so that they may become more adoptable. The dogs in our rescue come largely from shelters where they have been deemed "unadoptable" to the general public due to physical disabilities, medical problems and/or behavioral issues. Herding Haven provides medical care, physical and behavioral rehabilitation and then works to very hard to find the dogs the perfect forever home.
