DODGER is a 1 year old PB “small standard” red merle Australian shepherd, he’s around 35 lbs. 

 

Dodger is crate-trained and housebroken but is young and also needs patience during transition. He has a moderate energy level and definitely LOVES his daily outside time. Typical of the breed Dodger is eager to please and ready to learn more!

 

Dodger knows some basic commands like sit, down and paw.  He is neutered, microchipped & current on all shots and totally ready to belong to someone!

 

Dodger was brought into a local shelter as a stray; we work with this shelter a lot and have taken every Aussie or close mix they’ve contacted us about the past year. 2 Kennel Tech/Adoption Counselors there are EXCELLENT assessors who also volunteer for DASH.

 

Dodger has been given “office privileges” this whole week because he is so sweet and friendly! He is also a snuggle bug and not “hyper.” 

 

Dodger is very treat-motivated and praise-trained; he will warm up to people well after he gets to decompress.

 

Dodger needs fenced space to run and explore and to have owners that are able to spend a good amount of time outside with him; we would LOVE Dodger to have another dog to play with similar in size range and breed type.

General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city. Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities.

We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD.



 

Please READ ALL of our info below BEFORE SENDING APPLICATION.

Our goal is to help our puppies and dogs find FOREVER HOMES AND FAMILIES, NOT TO MAKE IT PROHIBITIVE FOR YOU TO ADOPT. However, once we review the application and contact you, we MEET TO ADOPT, so please let us know if you are ONLY APPLYING TO STAY ON FILE or THAT YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT, for the consideration of our puppies and dogs and families who know the time is right!

OUR VETS DO NOT RECOMMEND AND WILL NOT PERFORM SURGERY PRIOR TO 6 MONTHS.

COVID-19 UPDATE: Due to the prohibitive nature of COVID-19 we are conducting ALL home checks via virtual appointments. We are also NOT allowing meet & greet appointments with puppies or dogs who are not completely up to date on vaccinations due to risk or exposure to outside contaminants. We REQUIRE ALL adopters to wear a mask & gloves when picking up their pet, to insure that everyone is protected from unknowing exposure to COVID-19.

THERE WILL BE ZERO ACCEPT IONS MADE.

Go meet their pets

We do not have a shelter - we accept online applications and either have individuals meet at foster homes or we will bring dogs to a safe, fenced neutral area - depends on situation.

More about this rescue

I am the Executive Director - I started DASH with a select group of co-rescuing friends and neighbors because we saw a need to rescue very adoptable dogs from Death Rows at municipal shelters and believe through foster care we can work with and train these dogs to be ideal family pets.
