Here's what the humans have to say about me:
APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/
We must have an application to move forward.
STRAWBERRY is an Australian Cattle Dog...aka Red Heeler. This breed is a mixture of about 8 different breeds... primarily the Border Collie and the Australian Dingo. Australia bred for 50 yrs to get the right balance of Border Collie (for brains and loyalty) and the Dingo (for a healthy, sturdy body). Heelers are known for their "herding" talents of which they need a purpose in life...must give the brain something to do. Strawberry is 1 1/2 yrs old (gave Birthday of 3/28/21.) She is alert, affectionate, house trained but not to the point of getting your attention and asking to go out. That will come with bonding. She is not good with cats... We are working on it but I have my doubts that I could get to the point of totally trusting her. She is somewhat leaving my inside cats alone...but she still has the look in her eye. That may change with time.
STRAWBERRY is not very tall...she is a bit stout and weighs 31#s. She already has the cropped tail which is a process done in the US...Australians like to leave the tail normal. I do believe she is a purebred. In order to do well with Strawberry, you need to be a "Heeler" lover. This dog is not for the "first time owner." She is very sweet, affectionate, and has great potential. She came from the Laredo ACS of which they do have lots of Heelers down there...many of the people are farmers and lots of "country" living. They have come to know me as the Heeler lover and they call me anytime they get one in.

Adoption Fees
The adoption fee includes transportation to WA/OR. All pups and dogs are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, have a negative heart worm test for all dogs over 6 months at time of transport, have a health certificate, and have all age-appropriate vaccinations. Some dogs/pups have additional medical, including but not limited to FHO, ACL, hernias, dental, and other vetting.
All medical records will be provided to the adopter at the time they pick up their dog.
HOW ABOUT FOSTERING! If you are not in the position to afford a puppy/dog but still want to be an important factor in dog rescue, we recommend fostering. Fostering ensures you incur no vet bills and no boarding fees while saving a life and enjoying the love of a canine companion. We are always in need of good fosters. You can sign up to foster at this link: https://shaynesrescue.com/foster-application/
This is a post on behalf of Pet Central SATX Rescue, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where there are over 350,000 homeless pets. We have hundreds of puppies/dogs available so there really is no need to apply anywhere else. Also, one application is good even if you are interested in several different dogs...one application no matter which one you choose.
Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue pup/dog. We firmly believe there is NO breed other than "rescue" for all species. Thank you for being part of the village it takes to save these precious lives.
