My story

_______________________________________________________________



Rowdy is a 6 yr old, Heeler also known as an Australian Cattle Dog.



He is a perfect smallish-medium size, roughly 40lbs with the cutest little bobtail (half tail)



He is neutered, vaccinated (core DHPP & Rabies), he is microchipped and has had deworming treatment.



What I can say about Rowdy ‘Riffic is that he has been in foster for a few months while we got to know him and he is AWESOME. He is very engaged with training, is super smart, & VERY food motivated. He is very much a heeler but is also soooo sweet and a total cuddle buddy.



He is great with other dogs in a small group (chaos and over stimulation is kryptonite for a heelers instincts to herd and nip) and is great with my cat Mack too.



He is crate trained and when he is in the house he wears a belly band for two reasons #1 he occasionally will attempt to lift his leg but #2 somewhere along the line he developed a coping behavior (likely from stress) where he mouths/chews his upper thigh area causing the beginning of granulomas and a belly band helps him to not have access to it.



He is doing it less and less every day now that he has a stable environment where he getting his mental, physical, and emotional needs met.



If you are interested in Rowdy:



** You MUST be active and live an active lifestyle.



**You MUST be committed to crate training and setting clear boundaries and expectations to ensure his mental & physical needs are met daily. 



**You MUST enroll in and complete the @methodk9 Basic Foundation program (we are able to offer a 50% discount for our approved adopters)

More about this rescue

Rescue4All is a grass roots 501c3 non-profit, non-breed discriminatory animal rescue made up of volunteers & foster homes. Help us keep the living ALIVE!

Rescue for All Pledge of Animal Allegiance:

'We pledge Allegiance to the animals, suffering from cruelty and neglect. We are a refuge that exists to help you, to save you. One caring safe haven, enduring, with love and Rescue 4 All!'

ABOUT US
First and foremost; I am an animal advocate. Animals are not property or a commodity they are living, feeling beings that deserve the best. I believe in educating people about what is available to help them do the best for their animals and the importance of spaying and neutering. I am a fighter against animal cruelty, neglect and abuse. I do believe that a No-Kill nation is possible and one day it will be a reality. Animals are a life time commitment for their ENTIRE life. There are always exceptions to every rule but those are very rare.

I decided to start Rescue 4 All because there are so many animals that are in need and so many people that simply do not know better. I will stand up and champion for ALL animals and that is why Rescue 4 All exists: to help the voiceless, the innocent.

Our focus for Rescue 4 All is to save those animals that are in the shelter system with no other options. I believe animals deserve a second chance, and they are in shelters because people have let them down.

Rescue 4 All is a non-discriminatory rescue which means that all breeds are welcome! Our number one mission is to save the animals that are in the shelter system in danger of euthanasia!

R4A is here to help those animals that need a second chance, whether they simply need training, life skills, socialization or if they are injured, ill, have serious medical issues, genetic defects (like Megaesophagus or Epilepsy) from young to old we will lend a hand if we are able and a safe place.

Our Animals and Volunteers thank you for all your support!
