Story
Steel is fostered in St Louis MO
Steel is your next adventure dude! He was a stray that showed up to a home and never left. Given their children were allergic, he is now in foster care with us. Steel is estimated to be 7-8 months of age and is approximatley 35 - 40 lbs. He has a gorgeous blue merle coat with piercing blue eyes. He is ready to trade his street past for a purpose. Left behind in the freezing cold with snow on the ground, a kind woman and her daughter found him abd kept him safe and warm while they searched for an owner, with no luck.
Steel is a young, working-dog boy with puppy energy and a big heart. He is affectionate, intelligent and bonds deeply with his people. He wants to be involved and longs for a purpose and a family to show him what belonging feels like.
Given his stray background, Steel will need an adopter who is committed to some basic obedience, along with structure and direction. As with any young aussie, he desires a consistent routine, supervision, plus some patience during the transition into your adoptive home. Steel is super smart and eager to please.
Given his lack of an previous training, he is still learning potty training, basic manners and house manners. Steel will require a physically fenced yard and some additional work on leash walking. Steel is in a foster home with other dogs of all ages. He has done fabulous with them, even wanting to engage in play. We are unsure about cats or small children. While Steel didn't have the best start, he has proved himself very eager to please and would make a wonderful addition to the active home. He might even be good at a dog sport: agility, herding work, scent work, hiking/running, farm or acreage life.
Steel is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.

NOTE: All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers so we need an approved application on file to set up a meet with a dog you might have an interest in. Please visit our website for more information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application. We pride ourselves on matches that work for both the dog and your family. MASR is here for your support, advice and safety net for our dogs for the remainder of their lives.
