Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This handsome devil is Baxter. He is 4 years old and 30 lbs. Baxter came to rescue after his owner had tried different medications to handle his very young sheltiness. The medications have been stopped under vet care and his true self is shining through! We're keeping a watchful eye on him and so far have seen nothing to indicate he needs to be medicated.
Baxter is an active boy, he loves to play fetch, run around the fenced yard barking and chasing whatever he sees. He loves playing with toys as well. He is good with other dogs and enjoys running with them. He would enjoy long walks/hikes and likely would do well with dog sports.
Baxter is shy at first but will come around with love and patience. He is partial to women but responds to a kind and gentle man. Obedience classes or an owner with training experience would benefit him by giving him a bonding tool with his adopter and helping him build confidence.
Baxter is neutered, UTD on all vaccines, microchipped, house trained, crate trained, walks pretty good on a leash and knows some basic commands.
He requires a fully fenced yard and no children under 12. We feel he would do best in a quieter home without a lot of people coming and going.
Baxter will be placed in an age and energy level appropriate home. He is being fostered in Kearneysville, WV. An application and home visit are required before a meet and greet

More about this rescue
NCSR is a non profit breed rescue group. We take in shelties of all ages from shelters and owner turn-ins. We are not a shelter, all our rescues live in foster homes and are evaluated for temperament. Shelties loose their homes for many reasons; moving, new baby, owner can no longer care for it are among the most common. Our goal is to place the dog in a new home where it will be loved, cared for and will live out the rest of it's life.
