ADOPTION APPLICATION
Meet Katea!
Katea is a beautiful, intelligent, and spirited 6-year-old bi-blue Shetland Sheepdog looking for her forever home. After losing her beloved owner of six years, Katea is adjusting to life in foster care and hoping to find a patient, understanding person to give her the stability and love she deserves.
True to her Sheltie nature, Katea is energetic, playful, and devoted to her people. She loves the outdoors, walks, the beach, and especially playing Frisbee! She is affectionate, house-trained, crate-trained, and happiest when she’s close to her person.
Katea’s Special Needs
Katea is sensitive to certain household noises, which can trigger barking and defensive reactions. She also exhibits some resource-guarding behaviors. She will need an experienced owner who understands dog behavior and is willing to continue working with her through patient, consistent training and positive guidance.
Her Ideal Home:
An only-dog home with no cats (she has not been cat-tested).
A home without young children. Older, dog-savvy children may be considered.
An experienced, patient owner familiar with herding breeds.
A calm environment with consistent routines and clear boundaries.
Someone who enjoys outdoor activities, exercise, and plenty of Frisbee time
ADOPTION APPLICATION
DASH who is quite Dashing is still available!
Dash is a one-year-old male, blue-eyed, bi-blue Sheltie.
He gets along well with other dogs, and is always looking for a canine playmate! He was trained as a gluten detector service dog for an individual with Celiac Disease. Unfortunately, that training did not include socialization.
Dash has made great progress in his foster home, but his new family will need to continue to fill in the “socialization gaps”. When confronted with something or someone new his default behavior is growling and barking.
He loves toys, balls, jumps and tunnels. He is fast and could make a fun agility companion! He is very affectionate once he knows and trusts his people, but he is uncertain about small children at this time. Time, space, and patience will continue to expand his confidence.
We often have a waiting list for our Shelties.
