🚨A partner shelter is asking for our help🚨. This DingDong (okay, we didn’t name him that, but the shelter affectionately calls him that name) heeler mix is tired of the shelter life 💔. He is a breed that needs some exercise and to have a job, so being kenneled in a noisy shelter is stressing him out. He initially had happy tail, from wagging his tail and it hitting the sides of his kennel. The shelter got him in for surgery, but it was still too long, and it continues to be re-injured. Our vets would likely need to amputate his tail. Other than that, he was fully vetted at the shelter, including neutered and vaccinated! He is around 10 months old and is 40ish pounds.
A shelter staff member took him home for a couple of days to give him a break, and he was good with their kids, cats, and other dogs! Because of his breed, he may be mouthy, so he would be better in a foster 🏠 that had older kids.
This is what the shelter staff wrote about him: “He enjoys eating his food in a slow feeder or activity feeder. He also loves boxes with food and peanut butter and cheese on it that he can rip apart. He is super sweet, enjoys laying down with his people, knows sit and shake, and enjoys all the pets.”
📞 If you are interested in learning more about fostering him, please reach out to us ASAP. When fostering with Mazie’s Mission, we provide all his care! We provide food, toys, medical needs, a crate, etc!
