My story

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

Morty is most likely a 2021 model. We were curious about his genetic makeup so we did an Embark DNA test on him and he is 50% Australian Cattle Dog, 13% Rottweiler, and some other mixes stirred in. As a Cattle Dog, he is athletic and wants to herd things, including dog buddies, which they don't tend to like. He does well with one other pet, preferably a female, his size and energy level, or older dogs that just ignore him wanting to play. He loves walks and does well on a leash. He could be a great jogging companion. He is very focused on his people and honestly gets jealous. He can be an attention hog. He will learn anything for a treat or a pat on the head. He loves toys and fetch. He still occasionally jumps up to say hi, so small children may not be for him. He is fully vetted, neutered and chipped. Are you his family?

More about this rescue

A New Leash on Life has a goal of saving all the adoptable pets about to die in the municipal shelters of Alabama until we become a NO KILL state. We rescue, provide veterinary care, provide a foster home or adoption center spot, and find adopters who are good matches for homeless dogs and cats...AND horses, pigs, rabbits, and any other animal who needs our help. All animals are fully vetted, including spay/neuter, microchip, vaccines, testing (HW for dogs, FIV/Felv for cats), and whatever else they need before adoption.
