Prince - (was Shaggy) and Eli were both surrendered to our rescue group because of family changes. Prince is a handsome sable and white male sheltie who is 7 years old, weighs 30 pounds, and stands 16 inches tall. He is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative. He recently had a dental cleaning.

Prince has a sweet and friendly personality, although he is cautious when he first meets people, especially males. He is a bit 'chatty' and will let you know when he sees a car, bird, etc. He gets along well with other dogs. He knows several commands including: sit, down, and wait. If you put a treat on his paw and tell him to 'wait', he will not take the treat until you tell him he can! He also knows how to use a doggie door and enjoys spending time in the back yard running and playing.

He is housebroken and has not had a single accident in his foster home. He likes to go on walks and is slowly learning how to walk on a leash without pulling.

He gets along well with children; however, there is a young girl at his foster home and he really doesn't interact much with her. So, we think he hasn't been around children much. His former family told us that both Prince and Eli had done some therapy work. However, we have not verified this.

Prince is healthy and ready for his "furever" home! He needs a home where his family can continue the work on his leash training, and spend time playing with him and loving him.

Buddy 3 - Buddy is back with Austin Sheltie Rescue through no fault of his own. Buddy is about 10 years old sheltie/cocker spaniel or springer spaniel mix. He is up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative. Since Buddy was adopted a few years ago he has gained a good bit of weight, he went from 25 pounds to over 50 pounds, so he is working on getting rid of those extra pounds. We have also found out that Buddy has low thyroid, and is on an inexpensive medicine twice a day. Buddy loves to be close to his family, enjoys playing with toys and other dogs, but does not do well with cats.
