My personality

My story

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

Meet Sauvignon … a special needs girl!

LOOKING FOR IMMEDIATE FOSTER OR ADOPTER.

Introducing Sauvignon the adorable Mini Australian Shepherd with hearts as big as her playful spirit. Abandoned at a cemetery alongside her sister and a Mini Pyrenees friend, Chardonnay, this resilient pup is now looking for her forever home, but there's a catch she’s hearing impaired.
Unique Challenges and Needs

Sauvignon is a victim of irresponsible breeding practices, specifically the breeding of double merles, which often results in health issues. While her vision is intact, she is hearing impaired. However, she n’t completely deaf; responds well to squeaky toys but but doesn’t hear everything. This means she requires an adopter who is not only loving but also conscientious about her safety.

Ideal Home Environment
She is about two years old and weighs approximately 28 pounds. She is extremely friendly, active, and absolutely love playtime. Here’s what you need to know about her ideal living situation:

Adopter Requirements: They need someone who understands her unique needs and can provide a safe environment.

Playfulness: Sauvignon is energetic and at this time would be better as an only dog. While she was friendly with other dogs here at the rescue, when placed in a foster situation she became extremely jealous of the foster’s pets. Keep in mind that she was abandoned and this is probably her very first home and first chance at having her own human. She became very jealous, very fast. So we do not wish to set her up for failure. The foster is continuing to work with her on hand signals and will be happy to talk to you about her.
Training: They are fair on a leash and quick learners.
Safety: They stay well within a secure fence, ensuring they can play safely.
Health and Adoption Details
She is in excellent health. Up-to-date on all vaccinations, spayed, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Additionally, she has received a ProHeart 12 injection, offering heartworm protection for 12 months.
How to Adopt
Sauvignon is available for adoption through Barking Mad Animal Rescue. If you’re interested in bringing these delightful pups into your home, please fill out an application for foster or adoption. The link to the application can be found in the rescue's post.
She is more than just a pet—she is a loving companion ready to fill your home with joy and laughter. Will you be the one to give Sauvignon the loving home she deserves?
Adoption fees to the Maritimes are $625 per dog. because she is special needs, I can ask for sponsors to help pay her fees. Payment plans are available. And fosters pay zero fees.
