Cayden

Cayden is a sweet 5-year-old, 42# miracle pup. Doctors once said he wouldn’t live past 6 months, and now he’s preparing for a balloon angioplasty that will help him live a normal, happy life. Here’s what he has to say:<br/><br/>Hi, I’m Cayden. I’m an Australian Shepherd with luxurious hair, soulful eyes, and a deep love for my people. When we meet, I’ll roll over and let you rub my belly. That’s how you know we are officially friends!<br/><br/>I’m a chill guy who likes to see new places with my people and spend time together. My "off switch” means I’m perfectly happy being home and hanging and do not need to train for a marathon. Walking around the neighborhood is my idea of a good time - all those smells! I also enjoy activities like car rides, pontoon adventures, and quality cuddle sessions.<br/><br/>I’m cuddly, calm, thoughtful, and just a tiny bit clutsy. Hardwood floors and I are currently in negotiations. (Sometimes my feet go one direction while the rest of me goes another!) I’m friendly with new people and dogs. I could live with another low-key pooch or be the only dog in my home. My foster family thinks cats would be ok for me.<br/><br/>Honesty is important in any relationship. You should know that I get distracted by things like fast moving bikes, rollerblades, or very energetic dogs. I may need help managing my big feelings about all that movement. If you’re observant, patient, and understand herding breeds, we’ll do great together.<br/><br/>My dream match? Quiet homebodies with kind hearts, no young kids, and lots of love to give. I don’t need a huge yard or nonstop entertainment. I just want my person. Maybe that’s you.<br/><br/>So… what do you think? Want to do this "life" thing together?<br/><br/>Cayden’s procedure is scheduled for June 16, paid by HOABCR. Recovery is 2 days. After recovery, he will lead a normal life with no restrictions. We would love him to find his forever home before surgery so he can get settled!<br/><br/>Cayden is being fostered in Minneapolis, MN.<br/><br/>His adoption fee is $250 + MN sales tax. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. Upon adoption, all of our dogs go to their new homes with a collar and harness, leash, starter food, blanket, favorite toys & treats. They are current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.<br/><br/>As a foster-based rescue, we do not have a central facility to visit. Meet and greets with specific dogs are arranged once your adoption application (not an inquiry through Petfinder) has been received, processed, and approved. We are located in Minnesota and adopt to an area 400 miles from Minneapolis/St. Paul.
