About Ray

Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Tacoma, WA Meet Ray! He is a 7 year old Miniature American Shepherd and weighs 25 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, and on heartworm prevention. Ray is hostile with strangers, but is sweet once he has finally warmed up to you. He is good with cats! No kids or dogs, due to his reactivity! He needs seasonal allergy shots for his itchy paws. Ray nipped a neighbor around 1.5 years ago while on a leash. They were trying to do an introduction and the neighbor knew Ray was reactive, but was willing to meet him. The owner and her partner took him in after he nipped the partner's brother's baby. His fear reactivity causes him to lunge and snarl at strangers and dogs as they walk by. The owners have muzzled him and worked with a trainer, but it hasn't helped completely. They are surrendering him because he needs a better environment and further training. If you think you can provide a great home for Ray, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions. This fee will be donated to Australian Shepherds Furever for their assistance in placing Ray.
