Alexis

Description

APPLICATION REQUIRED from www.dashdog.org  Adoption Fee $450 - the fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE and is not specific for any dog or puppy; it goes to the expenses of the organization as a whole* OUR APPLICATION IS ON www.dashdog.org and must be completed in order to set up a meeting. Our listed dogs ARE READY IMMEDIATELY; we only meet with families WHO ARE READY TO ADOPT! IF YOU APPLY and if WE APPROVE YOU it means we are assuming when you meet any of our dogs and fall in love you're ready to ADOPT AND HIM OR HER HOME!   ADORABLE ALEXIS ALEXIS is a beautiful purebred tricolor Australian Shepherd - Mini American Shepherd puppy. She’s 8 weeks old in between 4 1/2 and 5 pounds. While we can’t completely project her adult weight, the vet who examined her thinks she will be 35 lbs or less, somewhere between a small standard Aussie and a Mini American But: who cares? She’s incredible! She’s so smart and she’s so inquisitive and very curious. As soon as her feet hit the ground Alexis is off exploring. If she could, she’ll cover every inch of the yard, sniffing plants, crawling in and out of shrubs and hiding in the monkey grass! And that’s when she was outside by herself! Alexis also loves other dogs and they hope to find her a home where she has a playmate. She’s currently Fostering in a home with a 45lb border collie-retriever mix and they’re playing chase, tumbling around and sharing every toy in the room. We’re hoping to find Alexis a home with Australian Shepherd or similar herding dog experience. She’s too young to be left alone for more than a couple of hours so the home must have an adult with the time and energy and a lot of affection to give since she is just a baby. As mentioned earlier, we love her to get to socialize and play with at least one other dog who’s equally energetic and playful.

Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities. We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD.
