Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) - Leila~~pending Adoption~~ in Bay City, Michigan For Sale

Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) - Leila~~pending Adoption~~
Leila was returned to her foster mom. She did super well with the adopters, but due to unforeseen circumstances, they had to sadly bring her back. She got along very well with the children and even became a bit protective of the 9 month old; in that she would not allow anyone she did not know near him. She is a super girl, but does need someone who understands not just the Australian Cattle Dog, but the Siberian husky as well. She talks a lot! She loves to be close and be brushed. Her coat is beginning to grow out since she first came to us late last year. She needs someone who will be calm assertive with her and someone who will exercise her ? exercise is extremely important. She gets along with other dogs, pretty much ignores cats, and is not so sure about horses. She does try to help discipline the other dogs when on walks. For instance, if I correct one dog, she will look at me quickly then jump at the dog, nipping the heels or side. She herds them in the yard. If I call one dog, she will do the same thing ? just going for that particular animal to bring it to me. She absolutely needs a fenced in yard ? I would say minimum of 5 ft. The husky in her WILL run. Left to her own devices, she will dig out. She IS a house dog! She is very good, no destructive behavior at all. For more info, please contact us. Looking forward to meeting someone who will love this girl and keep her safe, happy and healthy for the rest of her life.
Adoption Fee is $ TBA tax deductible
Adoption fee covers for our Adoption Package for dogs which may include if over 6 months of age: heart worm checked, treated for any fleas and worms, microchipped, up to date rabies vaccination, spayed/neutered, DHLPP vaccinations. Discounted 30 days of health insurance, basic and problem solving training before and after adoption if needed. Full health records are provided to the adopters.
The Adoption fee we ask of adopters is not to pay for the dog. The dog itself is free! The Adoption fee is used merely to reimburse our rescue for veterinary expenses that any responsible owner would spend anyway when bringing a new dog into their home. Howeverever if there are any funds left over from one dogs adoption fee, it is used to help the next dog that comes along. Sometimes FSFH's veterinarian expenses on one animal will be less than this fee, but another dog might require several hundred additional dollars worth of care. Without being able to recover at least the minimal veterinarian expenses on our dogs, FSFH could not continue to rescue. FSFH's fee does not cover the general cost of keeping a dog in rescue (food, equipment, etc.). FSFH relies solely on donations to cover all other expenses related to caring for their rescued dogs. Thank you for understanding.
