My husband and I adopted a 2-year old Heeler Mix thinking she would be a great companion for our 5-year Shepard. She has great potential but needs to be the ONLY pet in the home. She also needs a TON of exercise and a fenced in yard. I jog with her 4-5 days a week for about 35 minutes rain or shine! If you are a dog person and looking for a running buddy please consider her!

A few things....
We are going to be very thorough about making sure her new owners can handle her. We would like to do an overnight/weekend test to make sure she is a good fit. She will need training to be able to walk peacefully and be around other dogs (our daily walks have yielded NO progress). There was an incident today because she saw a dog in the window of a house as we were walking by! I'm so sad to have to re-home her, but she is very ADHD and attacks my other dog when he comes into the house. We are the second family to adopt her, so I want to be sure that whoever welcomes her into their home will not just dump her back at the Humane Society if things do not pan out! Poor thing has been through enough. I have contacted Friends of Noah, (no-kill foster program) to help us find her a good fit, but I thought maybe someone on here may be interested also! I would post pics, but I dont know how! I will make her my profile pic for the time being.

    Also try placing an ad on petfinder.com :) I unfortunately cannot take in a dog (live in the city), but hope you find her a great home!

    Well,I don't think I can do it! I love her too much, tonight a new trainer is coming so we are going to work with her on leash around the neighborhood. Hopefully we can take both dogs!
