Story
Sydney is a social dog who enjoys spending quality time with her people, but she's not the type of dog who's going to lay around on the couch all the time. She's a very active young girl, and with the right person and some positive reinforcement training she'll likely be a great candidate for some dog sports! While she hasn't shown much interest in toys during her time here, she does like to run-- and she already knows `sit` and `paw`. Someone who is home often and has a relationship with a positive reinforcement trainer or behaviorist would be ideal for Sydney, as she has been noted to have separation anxiety when left alone in a home. OTHER PETS: Sydney hasn't shown much interest in other dogs during her stay at TJO, but she has been playful and excited with other dogs in a foster home. She has been noted to `nip at the heels` of other dogs, so her cattle dog genetics should be taken into consideration. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] NO CATS OWNER EXPERIENCE: Sydney is a fairly happy and easy-going dog, but it's important for her to get exercise and mental enrichment daily! She would be a good fit for someone who is home often and lives an active lifestyle, as she has been noted to have separation anxiety in the home and has broken out of a crate repeatedly. [First Dog / Some Experience] KIDS: Sydney is uncomfortable with some types of handling, and so would do best with kids who are old enough to understand and respect her boundaries. [12+ (Must Meet First)] ACTiVITY LEVEL: Sydney is a dog who likes to be active! She's got a lot of energy and likes to run, and with continued positive training she would likely be a good hiking companion as well. And while daily walks will be important for her, she's also the kind of dog who will need various forms of mental enrichment and games -- to make sure both her body and brain are relaxed at the end of the day. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Sydney is a fairly social dog with people, but she's still young and has only just begun her positive training journey, so she would do best learning with someone who can offer patience and confidence while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Sydney to not only learn her basic cues, but also provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner. With further positive training, she could also be a candidate for other activities like flyball, agility, hiking, lure coursing, weight pulling or dock diving! [Moderate]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding within the home. [Minimal]October 6, 2024, 2:16 pm

Story
Meet Anari, a delightful Australian Cattle Dog in search of a loving forever home. At 6 years old, Anari has already experienced some of life's challenges, but with the right environment and patient care, he has the potential to be a devoted companion. Anari gets along well with other dogs, making him an excellent choice for families or individuals who already have furry friends at home. He understands the dynamics of canine socialization and is likely to thrive in a household where he can engage in play and companionship with other dogs. Due to his past experiences, Anari tends to be a bit shy and cautious when encountering new people or situations. It is important to provide him with a calm and secure environment, allowing him the time and space to adjust at his own pace. With patience and understanding, you will witness his true personality shine as he gradually comes out of his shell. When initially meeting new people, Anari may exhibit protective behavior by barking, almost like a guard dog. This is his way of expressing caution and fear, which can be mitigated through positive reinforcement and gentle handling. As he gains trust and becomes more familiar with his surroundings, his guard barking is likely to subside. Once Anari feels comfortable and secure, he settles into his new environment and demonstrates his true nature. His shyness transforms into a loyal and affectionate demeanor, creating a special bond between him and his adopter. The more he is handled and shown patience, the more he will flourish and become an integral part of the family. Anari would benefit from a calm and structured household, where his need for routine and stability can be met. Engaging him in regular exercise and mental stimulation, such as puzzle toys or obedience training, will not only keep him physically fit but also provide a sense of purpose and accomplishment. If you are an experienced dog owner who understands the needs of a shy and sensitive dog, Anari could be the perfect addition to your family. His journey to overcome his fears and blossom into a confident companion will be a rewarding experience for both of you. Open your heart and home to Anari, and you will witness the transformation of a timid dog into a loyal and loving lifelong friend. Link to apply: http://www.kcpetrescue.org/adoption-services.html
