My story

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

Willie is an Australian Cattle Dog with possibly some Collie mixed in. He is only approximately 1 year old but with a background of boys teasing and tormenting him, Willie has decided that males aren't such a good thing right now. He has been very sweet with our female staff, and has made some progress with males, but at this point, we recommend he have a female owner. We're not sure about kids as the boys were teenagers and teasing him in any way would not be pleasant for Willie. He has been around other dogs at the shelter and does not even bark at them. We have not tested with cats yet. But regardless, this sweet handsome guy deserves a home where he can have some activity and lots of love without feeling threatened. A high fenced yard would be best for his size and age, he is about 35 pounds and a bit of a jumper, neutered and vaccinations are up to date. Please consider him if your home is a female home with understanding ladies who can help him learn to like boys again. His adoption fee is donation of choice to the right situation.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fees do vary depending on the animal and all pets go to new owners already spayed and neutered, vaccinated and wormed. All adopters are given a two week adoption trial with an exchange guarantee if the animal does not work out. We require a completed adoption application, which is on line on our website, and a signed care contract. All pets go out with a copy of their signed agreement and a copy of their medical record. Fees for adult cats are $60-75 and kittens are $75. Fees for dogs are $125 to $200 for adult mixed breed up to $300 for purebred, small dog puppies.
