09/02/09 UPDATE!!: Quaker continues to make amazing progress. He is loving the agility ring, learning that it's fun and might end up with a treat at the end. He is fast, knows some cute tricks, and is a love-bug of a dog! He recently attended a fundraiser for a wildlife rehab group and walked calmly up to people, enjoying being petted & oohed/aahed over. He is coming along nicely. :-) ============================ Quake is a young boy who was pulled from a local shelter and placed into foster, after showing signs of kennel stress. Initially he would crawl through a doorway and showed no knowledge of the outside world. He refused to eat in front of anyone, waiting until it was nighttime when there weren't any people around.
Now, he is a new man! He greets people after a small bit of hesitation, but he's making bounds & leaps in his re-education into this world. He lives happily with four other dogs in his foster home. He is house-trained, crate-trained and has the potential to be an AMAZING companion for someone. Quake's future shows some agility, maybe fly-ball and of course continuing obedience and/or rally. He is a clean slate with very few issues.
He has a gorgeous merle & black coat, which after being extensively groomed, is now easy to keep nice looking. He prefers not to accompany you into the bathroom for a bath but once shown the way, he sits nicely for his bathing.
Quake will require a positive environment, adopters who are willing to continue his obedience training. He is current on all vaccinations including rabies and will be neutered & microchiopped prior to adoption.
If you are interested in learning more about this promising canine, please complete an online application and then contact Shawna Clausen at zairisfrog@aol.com. Adoption fee is $150. Thanks for thinking rescue! |
