Meet gonzaga (zags)
Suddenly moving this April into a senior living apartment – downsizing by 70% from house/garden in greenbelt environment!
Unsuited to the new environment: Zags (Gonzaga) our beloved Heeler aka Aussie Cattle Dog
Zags got rescued at age 4 by a BC/ Aussie/ACD volunteer who later could no longer foster. Residual PTSD from pre-rescue dog/woman-abuse: Zags is still “stranger-danger” wary and fear-aggressive encountering neighborhood-dog aggression. But cuddly / affectionate in his 5 years with us. Dog Ranch staff have commented on his affectionate personality when boarding during trips flying to New England family.
Spouse can’t remember to avoid triggering Zags’ startle reflex: approaches while he’s gobbling supper, or “threatens” by waving phone or TV remote. But they still hang out contentedly together watching TV in the family room.
We’ll bring Zags mid-March to Ashland OR, and could bring his stuff if hand-off gets set up: his crates+cushions (hard-side + collapsible), new toys etc
