My name is Downstream!

Downstream is a very handsome breeder release boy. He is a bit timid when meeting new people but once he trusts you, he wants nothing more than to be by your side or in your lap.

He definitely loves his foster mom and has no problem clearing a 2.5-foot baby gate to follow her upstairs. He is more timid around men versus women - he can be very protective of his foster momma. Downstream would do best in a home with women only or one gentleman who understands he will need ample time to warm up and may never be fully comfortable around him.

Downstream cannot live with cats - he will chase them/has a prey drive.

ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS:

• Physically fenced in yard to keep him safe.
• Family with older, dog savvy kids only.

Downstream has been neutered and tested negative for heartworm and tick-borne illness. He is current on vaccinations (rabies, distemper/lepto, and bordetella) & monthly preventatives, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $500 plus tax.

*All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne disease, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped.

Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they may need extra time to adjust and settle in. Older children are often a great fit for our dogs, and family's with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may require a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly.
