My story

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

RIO is a 1 and a half year old aussie mix that weighs 60 lbs. He came into a local shelter as a stray and proved to be too much energy for not one, but two homes. He is a wonderful dog without any aggression tendencies. All he needs is direction, boundaries and a basic foundation in obedience and he'll be not a good dog, but a great dog! So we're going to give him what he needs - an inmate all his own for a couple of months. In our Paws Behind Bars prison dog training program, he'll receive obedience training. He'll also know what it's like to be properly exercised - physically and mentally (aussie's are smart and respond well if they have a task)

When he graduates, his perfect home will be an active one with owners who are home more often than not. Another young dog in the home would be fine as would older children. A fenced in yard is also desired as leash walking is not sufficient for his energy level.

If interested in adopting, our process begins with submission of our online application which can be found at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com. Additional adoption FAQ's can be found on our website also. Meets will be set with approved applicants. Thank you!
