Adopt a Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (medium coat)
Snickers the Dog needs a home
New to OCDRT on 2/5/2018 from NE Ohio
Snickers is being fostered in Columbus, Ohio
Snickers is just under a year old & around 40#. He was found as a stray and the owners came forward, but were unable to keep him, so the good Samaritan that found him, contacted us to bring Snickers into our program. Snickers introduced well to the dogs he has met in both homes, and wants to play. He crates well & is very people oriented. Snickers met the resident cat and shows interest, but not intensity, so training will brush him up on manners with cats. He is scheduled for his neuter, micro-chip, vaccines, and heartworm test today. While under evaluation, Snickers will learn foundation skills, obedience, social skills, crate training, travel in a vehicle & leash manners. Check back for updates as we get to know Snickers better and he settles in and shows us what he needs in a forever home.
UPDATE 2/12/2018: Snickers has settled in very nicely in his foster home. He's very respectful of the resident senior ACDs & the wild young cat. He is now neutered, heartworm and tick disease tested negative, current on rabies vaccine, de-wormed & micro-chipped. He will receive his 2nd round of vaccines, and fecal test in the next two weeks. Snickers is learning men are good and his foster Dad is making sure all interactions are positive. He's been a very compliant happy young male, you just don't find ones like this often.

Our fosters are adopted on first come, first serve basis, with applications being processed in the order received. If approved for adoption, a deposit is required to hold the dog until a meeting can be arranged. We do require prospective adopters to travel to the home of the foster dog along with all family members, including any resident dog(s). This is the only way to see the known temperament of our fosters dogs, while they are in the home they feel is 'their's'. Any behavior concerns with meeting new people/dog(s) on their home 'turf' will be visible at the meeting.
