Gobi

Meet Gobi - named after the Gobi dessert! This is going to be someone's dream Aussie! <br/><br/>Notes from Gobi's prior family:<br/><br/>Gobi is a nearly one year old Australian Shepherd, who was born on a farm in northern Missouri. He is an extremely excitable puppy with the absolute love for people and other dogs. Gobi doesn't have a bad bone in his body, and if it were up to him he would play all the time! You can always tell how happy Gobi is by his staple tongue-outside-the-mouth smile. Like any Australian Shepherd, he has an extremely high energy threshold, and he would do great with a lot of space to keep him occupied. <br/><br/>Gobi is also extremely smart. He knows how to communicate what he wants, whether its food, water, to play with his favorite toys, or even to go to bed. He has learned a number of commands, including: sit, lay down, place, off, crate, and here. Gobi learns new things very fast and is extremely food motivated, so training him to learn new concepts has been extremely easy.<br/><br/>He is very curious, and loves to explore new things and sniff at whatever he hasn't already seen before. In our building, he has become well known by everyone because he has such a love for meeting new people (and they rightfully want to say hello just as badly). If our household had the space to fulfill his needs, Gobi would absolutely stay with us. However, <br/>as a herding dog, we're excited to see him in a happy home with the space that would allow him to thrive! <br/><br/>Things About Gobi <br/> <br/>Crate-Trained: Yes! <br/>Microchipped: Yes! <br/>Been around other dogs and cats: Yes!<br/>Good around strangers: Yes!<br/>Housetrained: Yes!<br/>Overly Friendly: Yes!<br/>Someone's Dream Dog: Yes!!<br/><br/>Fine Print: All dogs of NWMNAR are screened at the headquarters in Ada, Mn until they are vetted. They are then transferred to foster homes throughout MN and some into ND so they can get used to lifestyles with a family in a home. Adoption fee for an adult dog is $300 + Mn tax. Adoption fee for a dog over 3 years of age is $300 + Mn tax., pup/dog1 year to 3 years is $400 + Mn tax. Under 1 year of age $500 + Mn tax.<br/><br/>Free adoption applications can be found on our website at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/NMA/Dog. <br/><br/>Because NWMNAR is not a public shelter, meet and greets do not take place until an application has been approved and a home visit has been completed in person or virtually. Meet and greets will take place in a public setting along with the adoption if compatible. Dogs can be met in Ada, MN weekday and weekends, or in our alternate office location in Maple Grove, MN on weekends only.<br/><br/>Once we receive your submission, our application review team will be in touch with you. Please have patience while they look over your application.
