Story
This sweet guy came to us because he was having issues with too many other dogs and children in his last home. He should be the only dog in the house, and it should be a home with no young children. He can be a bit grumpy when overwhelmed with too much. A quiet home where he is the only one getting attention would be ideal. Jack is crate trained, playful, high drive and energy, but extremely out of shape at the moment. We will assess him better and provide an updated behavioral description. For more up to date information on this dog please go to our website @ https://www.playk9rescue.org/adopt-a-dog The adoption fee for this pet covers the cost of care and training which may have been for several weeks or several months depending on the health and training needs. The fee also covers all vet bills during this time to ensure his/her health is improved or maintained and provides you with assurance that this dog has been well cared for while in our possession and evaluated to meet your home's needs. Included in this fee is also life- long training support provided by PLAY! K9 Academy located in Bradenton, FL as well as Life time microchip registration. When you adopt from a local shelter, you may not receive any medical history for this dog nor will you receive any behavioral history. We hope you understand that the minimal adoption fee we are asking is to continue our mission to rescue unwanted herding and working breeds from shelters/owners and get them adopted to their forever home.

Story
I adopted Bodie from a rescue in my area, he loves people and loves to run and play outdoors. He sleeps with me or in his bed and is house broken, he will go to the door when he needs to go out. The rescue staff stated he did not like to be crated, however I have been working with him and amazed at well he is learning to sleep in the crate. He walks on a leash but pulls. He is a very high energy pet and gets excited, jumping and barking. I am currently living with my parents who are in their 70s, this behavior is not easy for them. I feel it will be better for Bodie to live in a home where he can be happy and playful.
