Mystery Pup Post!

Meet Frodo, a good boy who finds himself in our witness protection program. Frodo is a neutered 2 year old, 45 lb black tri Aussie with adorable copper freckles on his legs and fluffy chest and bootie, who is finds himself needing a new home (or foster home) due to not being happy in his current foster home that has multiple dogs. (Seriously, why should he have to share human affection; being the only dog means he gets ALLLL the treats and pets!)

Why the witness protection program for Frodo? Frodo came to ARM as result from a county sheriff case where it was deemed that his prior living situation wasn't safe for him and wasn’t cared for properly.

Bio pic is a clip art of an adorable black tri Aussie – full disclosure, we wholeheartedly believe that he is MUCH cuter than the clip art.

Frodo isn't overly hyper - he really enjoys walks or runs with his person and also likes to snuggle (he requests that he could live somewhere where he is allowed on furniture so he can be closer to you). He is crate-trained and house-broken. He's eager to learn new things, so a home that's able to provide mental stimulation & adventures would be a bonus. Frodo does also seem to have a soft spot for the ladies – while he does get along with men, he does take time to warm up to them and has shown signs of being wary (which is reminiscent from his previous home).

Homes with cats would not be a good fit for Frodo as he can be really annoying to cats and if they run, it's game on for him. In short, if you have two legs, can see over the steering wheel of a vehicle (you know, so you can buy him treat-o's), and can give pets; you are awesome and he wants to get to know you. If you have four legs, he's a total dinglehopper and not a great friend to other four-legged creatures.

Frodo is crate trained and house broken. He loves car rides and being with his person.

Frodo is truly a good boy. It has become clear that where he is living is not what is ideal for him and there's no faulting him for needing something that's better suited for his needs and interests.

The details:

Needs fence: likely not, but established recall before having him off lead is highly recommended

Good with dogs: Can be dog selective, ideally best as the only dog

Good with cats: No

Good with kids: Teenage years and older

All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers. We need an approved application on file to set up a meeting with a dog you might be interested in. You can find our application at www.aussierescuemn.com. All dogs have an adoption fee of $400 plus MN sales tax. We pride ourselves on matches that are awesome for both the dog and your family. Aussie Rescue of MN is here for support, advice and as a safety net for our dogs for the rest of their lives.
