About Custer

Australian Cattle Dog mix
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO ON THIS DOG BEFORE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. MANY OF OUR DOGS HAVE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADOPTION. SPECIFICS FOR CUSTER'S ADOPTION: 1. 6 FOOT FENCE REQUIRED 2. NO SMALL CHILDREN 3. HE CANNOT LIVE IN AN APARTMENT, TOWNHOME, OR ATTACHED LIVING. 6 month old male herding breed mix puppy, about 15 pounds. Custer is an active, bouncy, driven herding dog type that needs a savvy adopter to rein him in! This guy loves to run and play chase with other dogs but tends to be a bit dominant with other dogs. He is submissive to people, however, and will 'smile' at you in submission. This is not at all aggression. He would love to have another dog to play with. He loves to nip you from behind and bounce off your butt when you are walking. This is typical for the breed and needs consistent correction until he understands that there is a time and a place. He would love to do agility or go sheep herding to burn off some of his energy while you are building a solid relationship. He will guard his food from other dogs (not humans), so separate feeding is recommended. He can easily go over baby gates and shorter fences. 6' fenced yard required. NO small kids as his teeth are sharp and he doesn't understand that kiddos are not play toys. Once he has grown and matured with some training, he will be ok with 10 and up. He is just a puppy so he needs all the things a puppy needs including manners, training, socialization and house training. Adoption contract and fee applies. All adoptable dogs can be met at adoption events hosted every weekend. For a list of scheduled events go to: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/events . Smidget Rescue is not a shelter, and dogs cannot be seen at the Rescue location. All dogs are fostered throughout the Puget Sound area and are brought to the events where they can be met by prospective adopters. Additional pictures of adoptable dogs can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums. All adoptable dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older, and always before being placed in their new homes. APPLICATIONS CAN BE OBTAINED BY EMAIL ONLY. Adoption process includes application, meet & greet, home visit and reference check. Email Jamie at [email protected] or click on the CONTACT link on this page. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BEFORE SENDING. We get a fair number of incorrect emails and Jamie is not able to contact potential adopters. Notice: We do not ship dogs out of state. If you live within a five-hour radius of Seattle, WA, (such as Portland, Vancouver B.C., etc.), we can arrange for a home visit. If your home seems like a great fit for the dog you would like to adopt, you must then drive to meet the dog at one of our weekend events or at the fosters home.
