Adopt Brady a Black - with Brown, Red, Golden, Orange or Chestnut Shepherd
Location:
Chiefland, FL
Description:
Brady came into rescue with his brother, Tebow. The boys showed up in a lady's yard after Hurricane Idalia came thru our area. She created a post and had them scanned to try to find their people but to no avail. She couldn't keep them long term so she asked us to take them. We did but figured that they had been spooked by the storm or the storm had caused some property damage, allowing them to escape and someone was looking for them. We also attempted to find their owner but had no luck either. After a month, we got them vetted and are now searching for new families for these handsome boys. They are, we believe,quite young (around 7 months but quite certainly under a year). They look to be shepherd mixes but have a strong shepherd appearance.They are both very sweet and friendly. Brady is the shyer and more timid/unsure of the two. He tends to look to his brother for guidance but would do fine on his own once he knew what was expected of him. He would benefit from getting out and about to socialize and build his confidence. Since the boys are young, they should adapt to most family situations. They seem to be good with kids and other dogs (proper introductions are always important though). We don't know about cats and other critters as we don't have them to test them with. We are fairly certain that they will need some training in the house and learning good manners. Brady doesn't walk really well on the leash. Probably due to his cautious approach to things. He walks with encouragement and will do some belly crawls and stop and go type of forward movement. He would probably benefit from a harness. We really have no idea what happened to them during that storm or what their life was like before they made their way to us but we hope that they find the safety, security and love of a forever home and family so that they can only continue to grow and become the perfect companion dogs they have the potential to be. Both boys will make wonderful additions to the family.Brady saw the vet on 10/18/23. He had no issues noted on his exam. He tested negative for heartworms but tested positive for erlichiosis, a tick borne disease. No treatment is necessary for erlichiosis unless a dog develops symptoms. Generally, a dog will always test positive once they have a positive result but may never develop the disease or any issues related to it. He has been started on Simparica Trio for monthly heartworm prevention/flea control. He did test positive for hookworms, whipworms, roundworms and coccidia on his fecal. We have never had a dog test positive for every intestinal parasite (except for tapeworms and its possible he has those too but they didnt show up on his fecal)We treated him with Drontal for the hooks, rounds, whips (and tapes as a precaution) and with toltrazuril for the coccidia. Overall, his general health is good and issues that he does have are minor and/or easily treatable. Brady weighed 51.7 pounds as of 10/18/23.If interested in giving Brady his forever home, please submit your interest and your adoption application via email or text ONLY to 352-215-XXXX (phone calls will not be answered or returned from this number). Brady's adoption fee will be $175 to help cover the cost of his vetting and daily care while with us. We will only consider applicants who complete the adoption application and will determine whether the applicant would be a good fit for Brady based on the info provided in the application. If we feel that you will be a good match for him, we will set up a meet and greet appointment with you.
