Description

Animal Information: Brinnon is a 5.5-year-old Aussie/Border Collie mix being surrendered due to his owner’s personal health and mobility challenges. He’s a sweet, intelligent dog whose needs simply are not being fully met in his current home. True to his herding breed roots, Brinnon has created his own “job” when he hasn’t been given enough structure or outlet, which currently shows up as barking at strangers coming and going in the home. Despite this behavior, he is friendly and capable of doing well with confident handling. He currently works with a dog walker and has been successful on outings with experienced guidance. Brinnon is able to make friends with other dogs and has previously lived with cats. He is currently obese, so part of his rehabilitation and future training will focus on helping him safely reach a healthier weight through proper exercise and routine. Anyone with a soft spot for herding breeds will quickly fall in love with this sweet, deserving boy. Foster Profile: Coming Soon! Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166). Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: This dog was surrendered to our rescue when her owners could no longer care for her. He joined the rescue and will be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.
