Spirit is a beautiful mini aussie who came to SFCR as a breeder release. She is a very timid girl and is not a fan of being picked up. We are working hard to help her build confidence and bring her out of her shell. Spirit will require a very special family with ample time and patience to help her become the dog she was always meant to be.
ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS:
More about SpiritGood with Dogs, Good with Cats, Good with Older/Considerate Kids Only, Timid, Skittish *All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne disease, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped. Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received minimal socialization, so they may need extra time to adjust and settle in. Older children are often a great fit for our dogs, and family's with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may require a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. |
