Story
Banks is fostered in Ottumwa, Iowa.
Say hello to this handsome and INCREDIBLY sweet boy named Banks. Banks is a male, standard aussie, weighing about 40 lbs and is estimated around 5 years old. Banks is being fostered with many other dogs and does wonderfully. Banks is a SWEET boy and would love nothing more than a home with plenty of love and another dog friend.
Banks has great house manners; is crate trained and house trained. Prior to coming into rescue, his coat was in rough shape with matting and had to be shaved. His coat is returning nicely and he looks remarkable compared to several months ago. Banks goes to doggie daycare and plays well with many other dogs. Banks will chill after a fair amount of play, and chew on antlers or bones.
Banks is from a breeder who was giving away a massive amount of dogs from his property and based on this, he was not well socialized,. Banks is a little timid and shy, but learning SO MUCH. He does seek out pets from his foster home and even gives a few kisses. He also sleeps in the bed with other dogs and does VERY well being left out in the house.
Banks will do best with another outgoing, social dog in the home to take cues from. Banks does require a physical fencing, preferred to be 6 foot. Banks is even good with cats. Little kids may scare Banks, so no children under 10 years of age is recommended for his adoptive home.
Banks is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccines (including Lyme) and is receiving monthly preventatives for fleas, ticks and heartworms. Proof of heartworm preventatives for all past and current pets is required to adopt from us.
