Meet Joey! This wonderful guy is believed to be a soft, medium coat,
Border Collie/Springer Spaniel mix and at best guess 10 months old, but no possible way to know for sure. He will be a medium size dog (25 pounds at best
guess) when full grown. He's working on house breaking (he will tell you when he
wants out by going to the door) and crate training and is making progress. He
will need additional training with house breaking as well as plenty of chew toys
with him being a teething puppy. Joey is curious of cats, but respects them, and
plays well with his siblings. Joey will fit into just about any family. Joey LOVES
playing fetch and playing with toys they are his favorite things to do. I am his third foster home. Before me he got along great with children (I do not have any). He gets along wonderfully with my 60 pound shepard mix rescue. Right now Joey's personality is submissive,however if he does not want to play with our dog he will let her know by showing his teeth. He does not jump up on people that I've seen. He loves when we cook dinner, the smells make him very curious. He loves sitting at your feet at the table hoping for a scrap (which he
never gets). Joey loves chewing on his toys since he is a puppy, so he will need to be supervised when playing with toys that can easily be chewed up. He is
learning to walk on a leash, but will need additional work with that. But that is simple. Joey is located in Ft. Wayne Indiana. We are willing to drive a
reasonable distance (an hour or so) to meet half way, or to deliver him to you if
you are unable to come and pick him up.
Joey is a very quiet boy. He doesn't bark or growl much at all, only when he is
crated and we are leaving him by himself. He is your typical high energy border collie and needs to be kept busy all of the time. We are working on
tricks, but as of now he does not know any. He does however understand what no means and he minds very well.
Joey is current on all of his shots, flea prevention, and is neutered. The adoption fee is $200.00. This fee includes the cost of the spay or
neuter surgery. Current DHLPP, Kennel Cough, and Rabies (if old enough)
vaccinations. Heartworm test (if old enough), heartworm prevention, flea/tick
prevention treatment, and de-worming treatment. He will go home with a collar,
leash, ID tag, training DVD and his vaccination record. Please contact Adam and Sarah Schenkel (his foster Mom and Dad) at kschenkel2100@comcast.net
or Tammy Derickson at tlderickson@yahoo.com if you would like to adopt this wonderful little guy or have any questions. He will be a wonderful addition to any family.
