Story
Meet Icarus — The Sweetest Little Cuddle Bug Icarus is a houseâtrained, gentleâhearted boy who is discovering how wonderful it feels to be loved. He is a 5 year old Australian Shepherd Mix who weighs 57 lbs. He willingly goes to his crate for meals—just be sure to have a treat handy, because he prefers choosing it himself rather than being led. He spends his days playing with his brother, Osiris, soaking up affection, and curling up beside his people whenever he gets the chance. Inside, Icarus will occasionally burst into joyful zoomies, but outside he’s a calm observer who likes to sit quietly and take in the world. He’s a true lover at heart—soft, sweet, and happiest when he’s close. He’ll gently paw at you for pets and will happily snuggle up any time of day. Icarus enjoys walks, toys, and a good bone to chew on. His playful moments with his brother are adorable, but his favorite thing in the world is simply being loved on. Because he’s easily spooked by loud noises and sudden movements, Icarus will do best in an adultsâonly home or with a family familiar with herdingâbreed tendencies who has respectful, calm kids around 12+. Life with humans who care for him is still new, so an experienced dog owner will be the best match to help him continue building confidence and becoming the best version of himself. His foster mom describes him perfectly: Icarus is a very sweet boy who loves love. He’s a cuddler through and through, always ready to curl up beside you and soak in every bit of affection. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who wants nothing more than to be close to his person, Icarus may be your perfect match. His minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
