A Little Bit About Me

Are you looking for an agility or flyball dog? Or maybe a dog to do scent work with? Diesel (formerly Rigs) is a 4 month old Sheltie/Australian Shepherd mix (best guess) who is searching for a family who is willing to help him reach his full potential. We expect Diesel to mature to around 30lbs based on his current size. He is food/toy/treat motivated and is eager to learn. He has a relatively high drive when it comes to play, and could play fetch for hours if he could, and always has a toy in his mouth. He is always on the go, and always looking for his next adventure. Diesel needs a home who is specifically looking for an active dog to train and someone who understands and has previous experience with everything a high energy herding breed comes with (mental and physical stimulation are very important). Diesel is housebroken and crate trained on a schedule, and is fostered with other dogs, cats, and kids and loves everyone. He is a little nervous meeting new people when in new situations, but once he feels comfortable, he is ready to rock. Diesel does need a home with a physically fenced in yard, as he is a runner if he gets out, and he is fast. Another young, energetic dog in the home would be best for him, as he spends a majority of his time actively playing and wrestling with the other dogs in his foster home. His adoption fee includes neuter through our rescue vet, puppy shots, worming and chip. We have a 2 week trial on all adoptions.
