0805 Rheba

My story

Rheba is fostered in Canton, MI.   Rheba is a young female Australian Shepherd / Red Heeler mix.  She was purchased by a family who ended up not having any time for her, then tossed in an outside pen.  She turned 1 year in April and weights about 30 lbs. She will continue to fill out a little over the next year.   Rheba is a tad shy upon initial meeting but she quickly warms up and will be in your lap within 5 minutes.  Rheba's former owner did not teach any manners, so upon entry to rescue, she went to a trainer who worked with her in her home.  Rheba now knows several commands:  Sit, No, Come (recall), Down.  Rheba is your typical "red head", as we like to lovingly refer to her.  She can be a little pushy with some of her mannerisms, but again, she is young and she is still learning.   Rheba is VERY playful and she is SUPER eager to please.  She is crate trained, house trained, and has some excellent house manners.  She uses her crate as her safe place. Rheba is a champion car rider and also does well for grooming.   Rheba would like an active home that is willing to continue her training, socialiazation and exercise routines.  She is a NO when it comes to kitties and chickens.  That prey drive is a bit too strong for her.  She would do best with another submissive dog in the home.   Rheba is spayed, microchipped, up to date on all vaccines, and receiving monthly preventatives.  If you are looking for a gorgeous female sidekick and a playful companion, Rheba is your girl.  She does require a committed adopter who is willing to devote 1 - 2 hours of mental and physical stimulation per day for this young, active pup.  Proof of heartworm prevention for all prior and current pets is required to adopt from our rescue.   NOTE:  All of our dogs live in foster homes with volunteers so we need an approved application on file to set up a meet with a dog you might have an interest in.  Please visit our website for more information on our adoption process, our adoption fees and a link to our adoption application.  We pride ourselves on matches that work for both the dog and your family.  MASR is here for your support, advice and safety net for our dogs for the remainder of their lives.  www.MidwestAustralianShepherdRescue.org ##2353834##
