My story

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

Remy-Australian Cattle Dog mix-male-neutered-3 years. Meet Remy! Who loves Australian Cattle Dogs? If you do, consider Remy! Remy is a special boy who came to CCHS as a surrender. He was surrendered because he would herd kids and wasn't fond of them. He was also surrendered due to be reactive to other dogs when on leash and behind a barrier. We have seen this at the shelter but if you take charge with Remy, that behavior is diminished. He is a very smart dog and Australian Cattle Dogs will take charge if they can so if you know the breed and can handle their need to be in charge, Remy follows your lead. It does take Remy a little time to warm up to strangers but he's getting better with that at the shelter, because to him, we are all strangers at first! Remy is only around 40 pounds so he's a nice size. He would love a country home where he can be in his element! Remy will chase things outside that move, such as squirrels so training a good recall with him is essential! He is also housetrained but needs time to adjust to your routine. Remy will bond quickly and strongly with his new person. He will be loyal, fun to own and he will be a great best friend. We know it will take a special home to take Remy, further his education and be his leader but we know there is a home for him! He's pretty comfortable at the shelter but it took him some time to warm up, so we expect him to need some time to adjust in a new home. Here is the short list for his new home: No kids. He needs a human that is a good leader. Another dog in the home may be ok as long as the other dog will put up with a Cattle Dog taking the lead. His previous family said cat friendly, but we still need to test him with cats. We just need someone to take the time to give this boy an education because the sky is the limit with him! He has a lot of potential. Apply to meet him at www.cchswi.org DATCP License #266742-DS

Adoption Policy

Anyone wishing to adopt an animal must fill out an application and go through a screening process.
Applications are available either at the shelter or on-line.
Every effort is made to match the family and animal who are right for each other.
Same-day adoptions are allowed on already altered dogs and cats. Dog owners should bring their dogs to meet the adoptable dogs. You should have veterinary references available for your current pets. You should also have landlord information available, a leash/collar for dogs and a cat carrier for cats. If you pick an animal that has not yet been altered, you will have to wait for the surgery to be performed before taking it home.
CCHS has the right to deny any application for any reason.
