Mason is the perfect combination of old-soul laid back and toddler mischief!

 

In early November Mason was saved from a dog attack by good Samaritans who kept him safe until the rescue could pick him up. His wounds are now healed, his skin and hair healthy, and after a month if eating like a Rottweiler,  he's back up to his fighting weight of about 40 pounds.

 

According to Google, Mason is a "Border Aussie" - a Border Collie/ Australian Shepherd mix. At about 8 years of age, Mason still has many years of life and love left to give.

 

Mason loves nothing more than to be with his people. Despite an unknown length if time on the street, he exhibits zero aggression toward people or other dogs. We are unsure how he would respond to cats inside the home, and because of his "pushy" love, a home without very young children would be best.

 

Mason quickly mastered the doggie door and loves the freedom to come and go as he pleases.

 

Though fully crate-trained,  it isn't his favorite place because it separates him from his people. Because of his desire to be with his humans, Mason is quite an escape artist, therefore, a secure yard and a Mason-proof crate are non-negotiables. 

 

As far as we can guess, Mason spent years on the street. He is missing several teeth and the rest are broken or worn to the gums. Despite this, he is a MASTER chewer - of everything! He destroys most chew toys and will eat blankets, clothes, dog beds, wire crates, etc. For his own safety, he MUST be securely crated at night or anytime he cannot be supervised.

 

Because of his loving and adaptable nature, Mason would thrive in almost any home. His optimal home would involve as little day-time crating as possible with a lot of human companionship.

 

With a lot of love and a bit of patience and training, Mason will offer years of love and loyalty in return.
