Danny Boy

Description

AS WITH ALL OF THE DOGS IN OUR PROGRAM, A COMPLETED APPLICATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT ADOPTING FROM OUR ORGANIZATION.  PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE AT www.colliesheltierescue.org AND READ ABOUT THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS (GOOD PHONE INTERVIEW, SECURELY FENCED YARD, FABULOUS REFERENCE FROM YOUR VETERINARIAN AND A HOME VISIT.)  I KNOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT BUT WE SCREEN CAREFULLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE DOGS.  THEY DESERVE IT! Danny Boy is the chosen name for this fun-loving, adolescent, blue merle neutered male rough Collie.  He loves to play and just about anything or anyone is a toy to him.  He snags a toy and waves it around to get the other dogs' attention and then.....it is off to the races! Danny's health care is all completed.  Neutered, all vaccines, HW tested, baseline bloodwork and microchipped with a Home Again chip.  His foster mom in Wichita, Kansas made sure he was housebroken and had some basic manners like leash walking.  A martingale collar helps when it comes to learning this kind of skill.  He knows his given name and comes when called.  He is learning about a squirt bottle to curb some barking.  (Not his fault.  My stable pack of pooches have taught him to do that when he is excited.)  He hops in and out of the van when we are headed out somewhere for fun and games.  All of our dogs love to go to Hilltop Pet Clinic where we are greeted like extended family. In order to be considered to adopt Dany Boy, you must have Collie experience and be able to promise him your loving care for the next 10-12 years.  He would adore some kids or grandkids to play and cuddle with.  He plays like mad with Bandit who is also looking for a forever home.  And when he is playing with Peanut, my little Sheltie friend. he runs so fast he will jump over her and circle back.  My morning coffee, watching all my kiddos enjoying their lives, is a wonderful way to start the day. We do have a lovely couple coming to meet Danny on Sunday.  But we want to make sure that he has the right exposure to the universe, just in case he is not the right match.
