Meet Spud
Meet Spud, he is a small blue healer approx just over 2 years old. Fixed and microchipped. He is such a good boy and would work very well as an only dog due to needing one on one hands on work to be continued. But we do have 2 other dogs that he does good with as well.
He came to us not treated correctly, we believe that he was beaten/miss treated by a man, he was terrified of my husband and any man to come over. We where told he was crate trained but he was not, he will go into a kennel great and be good in it but will not stop using it as a bathroom (I’ve contacted a trainer on that part and no luck) He was terrified of collars and leashes, would harness “ok”. He digs out of kennels without a bottom, likes to chase chipmunks and if fences has weak spots will find them and push out. But won’t break out of things.
Currently with a lot of love and work we have gotten him to play fetch with anyone, be great around men and people he doesn’t know. He sits, stays and listens very well. We have not been able to get him to stop using the crate as the bathroom unfortunately that’s one of a couple things we haven’t gotten him out of. He is used to being outside due to the crate issues so inside house broke is mostly but has accidents at times. He doesn’t mind cats, good with kids and other animals. He may chase chickens upon opportunity.
We hate to rehome but just don’t have the last bit of work for him and I feel it’s best to give him a better chance with someone that works with them more. We’ve done so much work with him and he’s come soooo far he has just stopped progress and we believe someone might be able to do more for him.
If you can give Spud the right home, please reach out to Briauna Smith at 541-668-3771.
