Everyone meet Bumper! Bumper is a 6-month- old BLIND Aussie boy with all the s***k and energy of typical Aussie puppy. No need to feel sorry for him though, he’s under the impression no one can see and is just as able as any other puppy and happy as a clam.
Bumper is a very smart boy and has learned a lot since joining his foster home. But with most puppies, needs daily reminders of his manners. Bumper loves working for treats and has most of his basic commands down, along with a few fun tricks. Although, he thinks this whole “stay” thing is for the birds.
Bumper LOVES walks and hikes and walks well on a leash but can pull when he’s excited (rightfully so) so he’s been learning how to heel on a leash, which is coming along nicely.
Bumper also enjoys car rides and meeting new people and dogs. He settles well when in public until there’s a new friend to meet and all bets are off. His energy level is on the medium to high side and he does require mental and physical exercise before laying calmly in the house - you just have to be a bit more creative to wear him out!
Bumper gets around houses and yards just fine and like any other Aussie, loves to get his energy out with zoomies (within his safe zones). Some of Bumper’s other favorite activities include wrestling with his foster sister, chasing bounces of a tennis ball, digging holes, and playing in the sprinkler (this boy loves water).
Bumper would do best in a home with a fence (so he can continue to safely enjoy his zoomies!), a playful and confident canine sibling, herding breed experience, and no young children.
Bumper is crate trained and knows how to ask to go outside for potty breaks if he’s familiar with the home. He is UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on preventatives. Bumper is currently fostered in Charlotte, NC. His adoption fee is $350 and an additional $200 neuter and training deposit that will be refunded upon proof of neuter and enrollment in a training class by one year old.
If you are interested in Bumper and ready to give an energetic, differently abled puppy all the love, attention, and training he deserves please visit our website for adoption procedures and application.
