Sheldon's Story
Meet Sheldon! Sheldon is a 9-month-old herding dog mix? DNA test is pending!! (about 30 lbs) and he’s now been with us just over two months so we know him very well <br/><br/>Sheldon’s journey didn’t start easy. He was found abandoned in a house with another dog, severely underweight and covered in ticks. After that, he spent two long months waiting in an overcrowded shelter and was on his last 24 hours before we stepped up. Despite everything he’s been through, Sheldon has grown and learned so much with us.<br/><br/>Sheldon is now healthy and at a proper weight, he is a medium-high energy pup who is full of personality, he loves to snuggle and is wonderful with new people. With dogs, he does best once properly introduced — and then he’s all in for playtime!<br/><br/>His highlights:<br/>- Crate trained<br/>- House trained — lets you know when he needs to go out<br/>- Great on leash<br/>- Excellent in the car<br/>- Knows basic obedience, including a solid “middle” command<br/>- Extremely smart and highly treat-motivated<br/>- Loves scent games and has fantastic potential for dog sports or service-style training<br/><br/>Sheldon would thrive with someone who understands herding or working breeds so that he continues to grow into a confident and loving boy.<br/><br/>Watching Sheldon go from a scared, fragile puppy to a confident, playful dog has been incredible. He didn’t survive everything he went through just to be overlooked now. All he needs now is for someone to believe in him.<br/><br/>All POSO Dogs come with: <br/>- Spayed/Netuered<br/>- Basic Shots (age appropriate) <br/>- Fecal and 4dx testing <br/>- other medical concerns addressed before adoption <br/>- 2 Free one on one dog training sessions with a professional dog trainer <br/>- Training received in foster home <br/>- Basic things like some food, treats, leash and collar <br/>- PDFs of training material and local coupons and dog sitter recommendations
