Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Gulliver is a 1.5-2.0 year old intact male double-merle Australian Shepherd who we strongly suspect to be deaf. He did not respond to whistles or claps during his evaluation but did track people/items. He is very friendly and in desperate need of a grooming as it appears that he's been "on the road" as a stray for a while. He will be a gorgeous dog once he undergoes a grooming. Some may be intimidated by Gulliver's deafness but rest assured that deaf dogs are easy to train with simple modification of common Clicker Training/Positive Reinforcement methods. You can read more at www.deafdogs.org. In fact, it is a deaf Australian Shepherd adopted from Ashe County Animal Control in 2010 who sparked the formation of Friends of Ashe County Animals, the group that handles are the pet-listings/rescue networking for the shelter so we're happy to answer questions you may have. You can reach us at fabulousmcg@gmail.com.
The shelter does not have the ability to perform heartworm testing on-site. Deworming and/or vaccinations can be done on occasion when medication is available (we rely on donations for this). For reputable rescues, however, local volunteer assistance is available for transport to a local Vet clinic for such testing and to obtain appropriate vaccines and Health Certificate at the rescue's expense. In order to pull animals from Ashe County Animal Control, rescues must be approved. The approval process involves submitting an application, available by emailing a Friends of Ashe County Animals (FACA) volunteer at fabulousmcg@gmail.com. As part of the application, rescues will need to submit copies of their adoption application, adoption contract and 501c3. Rescues will also need to provide a Vet Reference. The Animal Control Officers prefer that all rescue-related inquiries be directed to the volunteer email (fabulousmcg@gmail.com) so please do not contact the shelter with rescue-related inquiries. An FACA volunteer will be checking this email daily so please allow 24 hours for a response. Shelter information: Ashe County Animal Control 767 Fred Pugh Road Crumpler, NC 28617 Shelter Hours: 10:00AM-2PM, MON/WED/FRI. They are closed to public on TU/TH/SAT/SUN.
