Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi there, I’m Will – a very playful and handsome (or so I’m told) Australian Cattle Dog mix of about 45 pounds. I was born February 1, 2017. I’m crate and house trained, and lots of fun. I can relax on my own when I’m not playing, chilling with the other dogs in my foster home or in my crate (which is my home-within-my-home). I know basic commands like sit, stay, and come, and am working on leash manners because I just love walks and playing in the backyard. (I especially think I’d be a good walking or running buddy.) I am suuuuper food-motivated, which helps me learn quickly. If you have a backyard, take me on walks, and offer the occasional (or not so occasional) treat, we’ll be best friends forever! There’s one thing you need to know about me… I need a special home where my people understand how rewarding it is to earn the love of a doggo who finds the world a little scary. I get nervous and bark around strangers, and I was pretty scared of my foster family at first. But they have been working with me, and will tell you that I am super loyal and loving once you earn my trust. It also helps that my people give me little pills every day to help with my fears. (I take them like a champ; my humans pet me when I swallow them right down, and I love to please.) My medication costs about $15 a month. Overall, I would really like a home where my person or family will help me with my worried side, giving me love and guidance and bringing out my playful personality! I think I’ll feel most comfortable in a home with older or no kids – I have a 13-year-old human foster sister who thinks I’m awesome – and I’ll need a little time to get to know any dogs in the house. (Since I’m a herding breed, I like to herd other dogs, too.) I haven’t met any cats, but I might try to herd them and I don’t think either the cat or humans would like that. One other great thing about me: I eat in my crate and sometimes just chill out there when I need a break or strange humans come to the house. With a little treat or a couple of bites of food, I’ll zoom right in! Give me love, exercise, and a little space of my own, and I’ll be thrilled every time you walk in the door. My foster family says I’m a real lover who deserves a forever home; I’m so excited!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal?
