My story

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

Hi! My name is Nedder (Ned) and I am a male Aussie x German Shepherd mix pup. I was rescued by Herding Haven with my sisters (Dusty and Lucky). I am the most laid back of my siblings (well, relatively speaking...I am after all a puppy!). Unlike my sister Dusty who is always "game on", I like to take in a situation before I "jump in". I'm smart and really love to learn (especially if I get yummy rewards). I already know how to "sit" and come to my name. I am crate-trained, 75% house-trained, and learning to walk on a leash. I'm a cuddly boy and will jump into your lap whenever you sit down. I respect the older dogs in my foster home and love to play with the younger ones. I am still a bit of a mouthy puppy, so a home without toddlers would be best. Older (> 8 yr) kids would be OK. I have never met a cat, so I'm not sure how I would do with one of those. I am up-to-date on my vaccinations and will come with a discount for my neuter. If you are interested in meeting me, please contact kathie@herdinghaven.org

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.
