Description:
His Transport foster says he is an extremely easy keeper! : Gavin can sit, give paw, and lay down on command. We used a gentle-leader leash with him initially. He has gotten to be quite a pleasure to walk. He gets along well with other dogs, but he basically ignored my 6lb dogs. This was good though, because he didn't step on them or try to chase them. He is very well behaved in his crate and did not bark when he was in it. He was completely crate trained and never messed in it once. He always did all of his business outside. He enjoyed having his belly rubbed and ate dry food without any problems. He is very obedient and I believe he would make a good Rally dog or Therapy dog. He never had any problems with children but I do not know how he is around cats. He never tried to jump up either so nobody was ever knocked down by him. Thank You! *The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification! Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.
*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
