My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please contact Nikky (saveadog@wildblue.net) for more information about this pet.

Located in Redding CA area

approved applicant will meet us there

to apply read the adoption process at

www.sadt.info

 

Archer is 16 months old 

about 120 pounds

25 inches tall

a big and handsome boy 

 

Archer has blossomed into a wonderful young man still has some bouts of teenager in him but has come a long ways since in foster with his training and behavior 

From a teenage 'do what I want' attitude he now knows to do what his owner wants him to do

sometimes not willingly but with the right breed experience strong but gentle leader he will do what he does here with us

We know Archers past since he was a pup and will have that info for the right approved applicant

This is what we are looking for for Archer to match him into his forever home

You must had the breed or one of the 2 breeds prior and since you moved out on your own not a childhood dog your parents owned

You must be home all day 24/7 and looking for a only pet at home companion

We prefer only one person but a couple is fine in adult home

You must be a stable home owner that can afford to properly care for such a dog as well as we do if not better

You must have a minimum of an acre fenced with 6 foot secure fencing

If you only have a large yard and live in a forest etc and have many walking trails where you do not have off leash dogs that run into you that will be ok too

If you are a runner he would be great for protection and fun running along once trained to do so

we are looking for someone over the age of 28 years no druggy nor drunk but someone that has a brain as sharp or more so than Archer and is physically fit to keep up with a 100 pound dog like Archer

We are looking for a home in the outskirts of town, country, mountains etc

We would prefer 3 hour circumference from where he is located now in the Redding area

no out of state unless is close to the border in OR

we feel he would be a great dog for someone that lives in Tahoe but won't exclude someone for just the location

We are only looking for someone that is dedicated to work with any and all issues that may or may not arise

Someone that is far from lazy and eager to teach Archer many new things maybe even a search and rescue dog since he LOVES to track

foster would keep him and train him for that but has plenty of her own dogs to care for and no time for that much extra

We want someone that has time for him not just for a year but for his entire life someone not planning on having kids and girlfriends etc that would take the needed time away from his best buddy

We are looking to match Archer with his human sidekick that he will love and protect

Someone that knows what leadership really means

Someone willing to listen and take our advise in settling a dog in they don't know but we do and willing to come here to Redding area at least once for a visit before taking him home

Someone that does not rough house to hype him up

that's not something for Archer

Someone that knows how to respect to get respect and not too lazy to enforce rules and boundaries

Someone down to earth that has raised a few dogs before and had them for their entire lives

Archer is a young dog so expect lots of energy and lots more learning

We have a lot of info to give you if you are what we are looking for

Someone that is calm but active, a person that is truly looking for a close companionship and not just a dog

If you are a guy or a women does not make a difference as long as you are sharp as a tac and always a step infront of him mentally and physically

Most of the above we expect from all our adopters but with Archer we want to ensure you know before hand what we are looking for and what you are getting

What you get

A beautiful big handsome 100 plus pound dog

A fully housetrained dog

leash /halti trained

car ride trained (great in car)

knows all basic commands as well as

hand signals (will show and write down all for approved adopter)

A dog that plays fetch with more then one toy

a dog that will alert you to strangers

a dog that loves his belly screeched

A dog not scared of rain or snow actually he's a fearless dog and will if need be take on anything

A dog that loves water and loves huge chunks of ice, wood sticks boxes everything that's big for a big dog

A dog that will come to a whistle or car horn honking

a dog that if he gets out will return (but we want to avoid the getting out)

A dog that does listen well most of the time

A dog that does not jump up on you

A dog that has a strong will but for the right leader will ease up a lot (unless the teenager comes out a bit:)

A dog that is crate trained for the first few months till settled and once bonded can easily be left there for 3 hours or so (after he's fully settled in

A dog that will snatch your food if you leave it sitting there so don't tempt him

A vocal dog that tells you when he wants something

A young dog that still needs his daily naps so he won't be a brat

A dog that does not chew things up (as long as he gets plenty of daily exercise and one on one with you

he does not even chew up his plush toys

a dog that loves all toys but plays mainly with large kong type rubber toys or large balls that are tough and have tough squeezers in them

a dog that entertains himself by throwing his plushtoys around

a dog that rolls around on his back making funny noises when he's happy

A dog that is not used to having strangers over the home so the fewer the better or be somewhat of a hermit

A dog that is happy just being at home as long as there's stuff to do a places to go around the property

A dog that is learning to leave the wild Turkeys alone (still on leash training)

A dog that likes real food and meat, cheese, eggs etc mixed in with his kibble daily

A dog that easily gets distracted when too much is going on around him

A dog that easily gets hyped up if you are hyper (don't want that)

A dog that can often feel what you think (by the energy you put out)

A dog that truly is unique

A dog that still talks back at times but doesn't really mean anything

A large dog that easily can scare the weak or uneducated folks by his bark and being vocal when he encounters new dogs or people but has never been aggressive to either

A dog that wants a deep bond for life and equal respect a quiet but stern voice, clear commands and love that's more than skin deep that will last until the end of his life

this bio will surely scare away the week and we know there's just a handful of such people out there and that's fine we are not rushing him out but want that right match

You can apply or you can look elsewhere where everything is hidden and noone tells you what the dog is really about

we do and will so you can be prepared

Archer is work in progress and always will be as all dogs are

and yes he does shed just like we all shed hair and skin daily and no he's not used to baths and dogs really don't need them, only if skunked

His nails are staying short so we did nor have to clip them nor would he want you to do that

He loves to be brushed with a fulminator in a gentle way

he loves to roll onto his back trying to be cute to wrap you around his paw forever

He will need tick prevention as he does not like to have any ticks removed, foster knows how and still does it and does not let him get away with anything

Looking for an outdoorsy type of person that also like the comfy once indoor for a nice warm place in the winter and a cool place in the summer

Archer is a indoor dog with playtime and fun outside

he has a comfy bed large water dishes along with a few baby pools that he wades in daily no matter what season

So if you feel this is what you have been looking for for months not days apply at our site so we can see if you can be a super match for our loved boy Archer

Archer will come with his large wire crate, his bed and large blanket, any of his toys, some food and goodies

a 6 month supply of HW prevention, our lifelong help with our 18 years of rescue knowledge

 

There will be an adoption fee, a homecheck, vet references or 3 non related refs we will need.
