GUNNER (tri-colored Australian Kelpie) - WE NEED A SPONSOR (OR ADOPTER)!!! We'd like to pull this sweetheart off the euthanasia list. Can anyone help and sponsor? (Pledges help too!!!) With either one, you would set your own amount. Pledge is a one time donation. Sponsors send in a monthly amount to go towards that pets care (until adopted). Sponsors also get extra perks. To donate: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=6DRAYJN5XEDZ2 Available for E-list Adoption? Yes, Only $35! There is not a meet and greet with an E-list adoption. You would be adopting online, then going to pick the pet up after they are fixed. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application: http://www.adoptapet.com/Safe-Haven/adoption-application/ NOTES FROM SAFE HAVEN: The shelter has him listed wrong. He is a purebred Kelpie. I read his owner surrender form. He is very playful once he gets to know you. He likes balls, frisbees, squeaky toys, & plush toys. And he likes to play fetch, tug of war, & chase. He knows sit & shake. He's crate trained & house trained (using a doggy door). His only hurdles are that he is afraid of new things and new people. So he will need a patient person who is willing to desensitize & socialize him. This breed is smart & needs an active home. He would be a great jogging partner once he gets used to you! This breed also needs someone who takes takes the leadership role with a calm but firm & consistent leadership with positive reinforcement. BREED INFO: https://www.dogbreedinfo.com/australiankelpie.htm NOTES FROM THE SHELTER: Germ Shepherd; Black and White; Neutered; 1 YR/1 MO 38.72 Lbs I came to the shelter as an owner surrender. Surrender reason: OWNER PROB MEDICAL: Appears Healthy BEHAVIOR EVALUATION:This sweet boy was in a home for about two months. Owner states that it took Gunner a month in her home to become comfortable with her. Very scared of all strangers, & will normally run and hide if a stranger comes in to the home. In exam room was very still and would attempt to hide when first approaching. With use of treats warmed up and would approach and allow petting and examination. Would walk on leash but very easily startled. Eventually had to carry to get in to a kennel. He is really scared of the outdoors and the shelter is not helping him over come his fears. The good news is he does love the company of other dogs and squeeky toys. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: There is a real dog in there we know it- so we are hoping a rescue can take him into their hearts and homes where he can feel secure enough to be that dog!
