Gentry is an Australian Shepherd. We think he may be around 6 years of age and weighs almost 50 pounds (he needs to lose weight). Gentry is a good boy and well-behaved in the house. He is crate trained but does not need to be crated and we do not crate him. He will sleep in a crate with the door open. He walks well on a leash and comes when called. He loves treats and is treat-motivated. He rides well in a vehicle without restraint but does need to be lifted inside. He uses the potty pads in the house if he cannot get out when he needs to go. Gentry is a low-energy dog and spends most of the day inside lying on one of the dog beds. He goes outside to potty and explore the yard. He barks when he gets excited. Gentry will do best in a home with another adult Aussie to encourage him to play. Gentry took refuge at a home out in the country. He had multiple bites and bruises around his neck and stomach, suggesting he had probably been attacked by one or more dogs or coyotes. It has been two years and his wounds have healed, yet he still runs into the house whenever a few of the other dogs get too rowdy. Gentry is also scared of strangers and people we see on our walks. He is terrified of thunderstorms. Gentry needs a home with gentle and loving people who will help him overcome his fears and gain confidence. He is a wonderful dog that deserves a fabulous forever home. Gentry must be in the house as a loved member of the family. He must be walked on a leash and must have a secure fenced yard where he feels safe to explore and play. Gentry is neutered, fully vaccinated (DAPPvL2, Lyme, Bordatella, rabies), and microchipped. He receives monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Gentry was treated for heartworms using the slow-kill method (we are happy to explain) and he is now heartworm-free. Gentry will require periodic grooming because 1.) his tail has been completely cut off so feces collects back there and 2. he gets extremely hot in the summer and shaving helps him cool down. Gentry needs a wonderful home with people that will help him overcome his fears. We will consider both in-state and out-of-state applications. Gentry's in-state adoption fee is $200 and his $450 out-of-state adoption fee includes the cost of ground transport by a reputable and trusted company to the NE or Pacific NW. He can be transported after he is adopted. Please email [email protected] if you are interested in adopting this very sweet boy.
