ADOPTABLE! Gus is looking for a new home, due to a health related of his current owner. He’s an 18-month-old Aussie, gorgeous and full of energy. Very well behaved for the most part, but he is still very young. His owner has loved him since he was 6 weeks old, and will miss him tremendously. A serious medical issue is preventing them from providing the exercise and mental stimulation that he needs. Gus has never had a problem with other dogs, has lived with a cat his entire life. Introductions need to be done correctly, as with any dog.
Gus is neutered, Microchiped, and fully Vaccinated (including Bordetella & Rattlesnake). The Animal Clinic in Baker City has taken care of his every need and are familiar with him. Gus has the following training:
Get back – He will scoot back a little at a time
Lay down
Sit down
Get out of the Kitchen – Will sit / lay in the doorway
Go – Point and he will head that direction, usually at a run
Where’s your toy / Bone? - He will find it
No
Stop
Wait / Stay are the same thing
Walk – Same thing as heel
Gus is completely house broken – Never has accidents, he will wake you up to go out if there is a problem at night. He’s no a barker, unless there are deer in the yard or someone around the house that is a stranger. Ties up without barking or fighting his tether. Stays quietly in a dog run, no barking or fighting with anything. Will not use the bathroom in a dog run, can not be left there for long. Walks on a leash, will sit and wait if asked before getting into a vehicle, then asked to load up. He rides well in a car, no carsickness. Like to have a bone.
His one major issue is chewing. He chews all the time. It’s hard on plants in the yard, he needs supervision wherever valued items can be accessed and chewed. He’s only 18 months old, so this should improve with patient, consistent training. Gus has eaten Science Diet dog food his entire life.
If you’re interested in Gus, please email your phone number to [email protected]. Gus’s owner will contact you directly. If she thinks it’s a good fit, we will perform the home visit/final screening.
