Schwartzy is being fostered in Waukesha WI

Meet Schwartzy.  This stunning all black Australian Shepherd mix boy is a super sensitive soul, with his gold eyes that just melt your heart.  He came to us from a shelter where he was returned twice in his short little life. This boy wouldn't mind another canine companion in his home to play with but he could also be an only dog. This boy could be your lapdog or your backyard play buddy.  Schwartzy is potty trained and crate trained and likes his crate.  

He is a small, young and insecure boy, just over a year old and is still working through some of his fears. He weighs in at just 40 lbs.  He will need a patient adopter that is willing to help him through some of these fears with calm, positive, clear leadership and dog handling skills. Once a bond is formed, he loves his person with all of his being.  We believe he was previously on a shock collar because he has some sensitivities with his neck being "grabbed" or any leash pressure on his neck.  His foster mom has been working with him to desensitize this specifically, but it is a work in progress for him.  In his foster home, he lives with many other dogs, cats, a bird and horses.  He does just fine with all those animals. 

NEEDS FOR HIS FOREVER HOME: He would prefer a quieter country style or rural setting where there isn't a ton of commotion.  We also believe he needs children over the age of 14 in his home or no children at all. We recommend a physically fenced yard would also be important for him.  

Do you have what it takes to give this boy a home and help him overcome his fears?  He is looking for a special human to be his forever.  Is that you?

Schwartzy is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped and receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms.  Proof of heartworm prevention for any current or previous pets is required to adopt from our organization.  For more information on our adoption process or to complete an adoption application, please visit our website at www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org.

NOTE:  All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers so we need an approved application on file to set up a meet with a dog you might have an interest in.  Please visit our website for more information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application.  We pride ourselves on matches that work for both the dog and your family.  MASR is here for your support, advice and safety net for our dogs for the remainder of their lives.  www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org
