Funny Frisky Free-Spirited FRED is in the market for a Forever home and family; he was saved from a large city shelter but has been fostering for almost 2 months and is READY for “forever to begin.” Fred is only 15 months old but full-grown. He’s still got potential puppy energy of 8 but can also acclimate to the environment and chill-out with the fam. Fred loves getting attention! Petting, belly-scratches hunkering down to snuggle he’s a definite cuddle bug!He has been sleeping in the room with his humans but only because he’s behaved well enough to do so. Fred has a lab-mix buddy he LOVES loves to play with. They race around the yard or park jumping, playing and having a blast then settle down and collapse next to each other for hours. We are looking for an Aussie-Savvy home because Fred came into the shelter as a rural dog; he’s had terrific transitional training but we still want to ensure an environment where Fred keeps getting new “challenges” to master. Fred already knows several commands; he is crate-trained so “crate,” but basics like “sit, down, give paw” as well. He is very food-motivated (his favorite treat is cheese) He’s extremely motivated, loves to learn new commands and tricks. Typical of the breed Fred is a people-pleaser and a quick-study! At home Fred is a calm and goofy dog who always likes to be involved with his people; in typical Aussie fashion he wants to be part of the action and may follow a human from room to room. Out and about Fred is still mastering leash-walking. He has not been working on it for long so sometimes barks at other dogs or people and needs a correction. This is to be expected since he was never leash-walked until he got to his foster home. We are seeking a home with experienced Aussie owners, owners that will use train with positive reinforcement training while working with him. He loves running around and playing so a similar size, age or type canine companion would be ideal. Fred has been most responsive following another dog’s lead like for “loading up” in the car, using a doggie door and other dog-specific activities. Finally, we really want Fred in a home where it’s not empty all day; he doesn’t need 24-7 humans and especially if he has a dog buddy, but we also want people with the time to give him lots of affection, exercise and skill-building. Who has a fun, young dog who needs Fun Freddie as a playmate? If he may be the one for you please COMPLETE OUR APPLICATION on the website below! Then TEXT SARA: 214-549-9905&.
