My story

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

Meet Dodger - he's a beautiful 1 yr old red tri weighing approximately 40 lbs who came to rescue as a live trap stray. He is incredibly athletic, able to clear a 6' ft chain link fence (we tell him that using the links to boost himself over really shouldn't count, but there's no diminishing his attitude!). He's one that will jump in the air next to you to show off his ability to do high jump; let's be real, he'd win the gold medal! If he's not competing in an event, that's fine - he's an excellent cheerleader with his exuberant barking when he's excited or needs to tell you that you're about to step out of bounds. Watch those lines!

He is the type who loves his people, plays well with other dogs, and would benefit greatly from an active household and if there's an active doggy friend already residing there, even better - team events are always more fun! If you have ever wanted to try any type of agility, flyball, or skjording (seriously, the sky is the limit for this guy), Dodger is game - he is a really special boy and deserves his forever home where he can live out his days as an Olympic champ. Ever the well disciplined athlete, he does have an "off" switch, enjoys his naps on the couch, and is quiet in his crate all night long. (Gold covered doggy treats are very welcomed.)

The details:

Needs fence: Yes - solid 6' fence is highly recommended
Good with dogs: Yes
Good with cats: Unknown - no exposure
Good with kids: Teens or older

All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers. We need an approved application on file to set up a meeting with a dog you might be interested in. You can find our application at www.aussierescuemn.com. All dogs have an adoption fee of $400 plus MN sales tax. We pride ourselves on matches that are awesome for both the dog and your family. Aussie Rescue of MN is here for support, advice and as a safety net for our dogs for the rest of their lives.
