A Little Bit About Me

 

Dewey is looking for a home that's ready to revolve their world around him. He looooooves training and is a super fun dog to work with. Dewey is also a great hiking companion and wants to be a part of your everyday activities. If you're looking for a dog to do dog sports with--like agility, lure racing, flyball, or scenting--Dewey is a great candidate! He's an incredibly smart and motivated dog. Dewey is not the kind of dog who has a walk a day, then chills on the couch. If he doesn't receive enough physical and mental stimulation, he makes bad choices. Being that he's some kind of Min Pin/terrier/Chihuahua mix, he loves to chase. A home with young, fast-moving kids will not be a good fit for Dewey. With time and training, he could become a good dog for a couple who doesn't currently have children but may in the future. He's just not ready for kids right now.

 

Dewey has spent the past month in board and train and has gained some great foundational training. He's also housetrained, crate trained, and good with most dogs, especially dogs under ~35lbs. His adopters will get a free session with Dewey's trainer, in addition to the free post-adoption behavior assistance that comes with all Marin Humane adoptions.

More about this rescue

We are a group of people dedicated to rescuing dogs from crisis situations, some of which include euthanasia by animal shelters, neglect and other forms of abuse, or "free to a good home" ads, which result in dogs being bounced from one home to another, or being acquired by animal brokers ("bunchers") and sold to research laboratories where they are used for testing then discarded ("cruelty industries").

NBCR&P works primarily with 5 herding breeds, and herding breed mixes. On occasion, NBCR&P also rescues and places other breeds. We foster our dogs in a home environment, rather than a kennel, if at all possible. We take pride in our promise that at any time and for any reason in the dog's life, if the need arises, he or she has a safe place with us ("return to rescue" policy).
