Male Dog, Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie
Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie (Medium Coat)
Description:
HONEYDEW IS BEING WITHDRAWN FROM ADOPTABLE DOGS WHILE HE IS HAVING SOME ADJUSTMENT ISSUES. HE IS IN THE LOVING ARMS OF HIS FOSTER MOM FOR NOW. THIS SHELTIE IS A PUPPY MILL SURVIVOR. IT WILL TAKE TIME AND PATIENCE FOR HIM TO BEHAVE LIKE A "REAL DOG." IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR THE PATIENCE, PLEASE LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR A DOG. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MOPRE ABOUT UNDERSOCIALIZED DOGS AND HOW TO HELP THEM REHAB, YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE. A COMPLETED APPLICATION OS OUR FIRST STEP TOWARD FOSTERING OR ADOPTING. YOU WILL FIND IT ON OUR WEBSITE AT www.colliesheltierescue.org. If you are happy and you know it...you must be Honeydew! Honeydew is a 3-year-old intact male sable and white Sheltie. (HE WILL BE NEUTERED VERY SOON. WE PAY FOR IT AND IT IS NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION.) In spite of him coming from a puppy mill, he is a cheerful little fellow. He is light-boned and dances when he walks. He does not walk far on a leash and needs slow encouragement not to be frightened. He eats like a champ and will even take a treat from my hand. He especially likes one of our volunteers and when Susan pulled into the driveway today, he got as brave as he could and walked right up to her. (If you heard celebrating, that is what that was about.) Honeydew is UTD on all his vaccines and is microchipped with a Home Again chip that will be activated when he finds his forever family. His bloodwork is fine and he is Heartworm negative. All of that is well and good, as they say. But you are looking at a long process of loving kindness to help this little dude be all he can be. Agility perhaps???? If you really understand all of this and are still on board....let's talk.
