Sid Shepherd & Border Collie Mix Oklahoma City, OK

This adorable pup is Sid!

Sid is an approximately 7-month-old male Labrador/Shepherd mix and will weigh around 40-55 lbs. as an adult (best guess). He was rescued from the streets suffering from mange, a painful skin condition caused by mites. Sid has a clean bill of health and most of his hair has grown in nice and full.

Sid is a true puppy with lots of energy! He loves to be with people. He loves all things toys and not toys. He will try to steal the foster kid's toys. He really likes other dogs (a lot), but it might take a slow introduction. Once acquainted with them, they become his best buds! He is also good with children (even though he tries and steals their toys). He must meet all dogs in the home prior to adoption.

Being from the streets (and missing many meals), Sid is very food motivated and will do anything for food even try to steal it off the table so make sure all chairs are pushed in. He is told "no" several times a day, and he stops immediately and comes to you for reassurance that you love him.

Sid loves to go outside with his foster dog friends and burn his energy. He requires a very secure fenced yard to run and explore. He is always up for a game of chase the ball! And he will protect you from that nemesis, the vacuum cleaner. Such a fun-loving dog, he will keep you laughing at his antics.

He is crate-trained and will sleep through the night until about 6:00 a.m., when he needs a potty break. But he will go right back to bed and continue sleeping. He is doing very good on his house-training, but he does better if you go out with him. He is learning to go out on his own.

Sid is neutered, current on vaccines, on heartworm preventative, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $225.
