Here's what the humans have to say about me:
***NEEDS FOSTER or FOREVER HOME***
Currently in Boise boarding kennels
WEST LEE is a ~2-year-old, 32-lb long-haired, medium-sized pup with gorgeous eyes that is a mix likely of red heeler, kelpie, and shepherd.
Thank you to dedicated volunteer Gail Hughes who is giving our adoptable boy WEST LEE a temporary foster home with other big dogs so that he can recover from neuter surgery. We’ve learned so much more about him!
WEST LEE walks well on leash in the yard and just ignores the friendly Shar Pei female when she is out with him. He knows ‘go potty’ when out in the yard. He does well in vehicles too.
WEST LEE has just about mastered the “sit” command. We are still working on “paw” command and recall. Of course, all of those commands are ineffective if a squirrel is spotted! We suspect high prey drive.
WEST LEE is learning to play—likes crinkle toys.
He is usually unaffected by TV noise when laying beside his people on the couch, but will turn away and hide his eyes and nose in the blanket when it is too loud. He is still cautious around people when they are walking around.
He seems to like cooler environments (pants to cool off if on cushy blanket). He loves scratches on his ears, chin and neck. He enjoys rub-downs with a towel to dry off.
He is quiet (no barking), but has shared a cute Dolphin squeek.
WEST LEE is not yet perfect…He sneaks balls of yarn out of project baskets. He has been caught counter surfing when there was some dog food left out.
WES LEE will be current on his health vaccines, and will be neutered and microchipped for his forever family.

Application is required before meeting the dog with a volunteer, but the public can visit the business anytime that they are open and ask if employees have time to show the dog. We bring the foster dogs to offsite events for promotion.
