My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Hi I am Briggs Stratton, nice to meet you! I am a two year old neutered 35 lb red heeler mix.
 
I am such a happy boy!  My foster pawrents don’t know what happened to me in my past, but I am fearful of new people. My foster pawrents have had me working with a dog trainer daily for the last couple of months. I’m one of those dogs that will love his people so much , but will most likely be a dog that will always need time to warm up to new people, including my new family. I am so ready for my forever home! 
Training  will be required of my new family so I can continue to be the best dog I can be. My trainer tells me I am very smart, too smart, which means I pick up training quickly , but also that I pick up every bad habit quickly as well. 
 
I will do best in a dog experienced home with knowledge of the  herding breed. An adult only home or home with older kids would be best for me. I have never met a cat, but because of my breed, I would most likely want a cat free home. 
 
I am great on leash. I am crate and potty trained. I sleep in my crate, as well as stay in my crate for 8+ hours a day while my foster pawrents work. 
 
I do well with other dogs , but would also do fine as a solo dog in my new home .
 
Besides my fear issue, I am a pretty mellow guy. My mom would give me a 5 on the energy level scale, but I do occasionally  get the zoomies. 
 
A few things about me:
—I am e-collar trained/continuous training as a reminder for me would be  required
—Walk well on leash
—Potty trained
—Crate trained
—No food or toy aggression
—Loves dogs of all sizes
 
 
My favorite thing to do is roll around and lay on the grass. It feels so good!
 I love splashing around in water. Just in case you didn’t know, the water bowl is not just for drinking. 
I also love to sit by my foster mom so she can give me loves and hugs. It feels so nice to finally have someone to love me.
