SPLASH was saved from Texas where most shelters have to kill dogs for space after just 3 days. She is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. We post in other states and Canada where our dogs get adopted. 

SPLASH is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, de-wormed, heartworm & tick-disease tested (Snap 4dx) negative and micro-chipped.She weighs around 40 pounds and has an estimated date of birth of 3 November 2014. The shelter have her listed as a cattle dog/Australian Shepherd, however, she looks more like a Border Collie mix to me. Whatever she is, she is a working breed dog and will need a lot of mental and physical exercise.

SPLASH can be a bit nervous in new environments initially, but soon gains her confidence. She is great with other dogs although does show slight alpha tendencies. Once she has accepted her human she bonds very quickly and likes to be by their side as much as she can. She does play with the other dogs and is happy with both big and small dogs, but can get a little protective if they come near her human. She is very sweet and affectionate and will make a great family pet to an active family.
​
We do not have cats at the rescue so cannot comment how she would behave around them.

SPLASH would benefit from an active, fun family that has the time to work with her on her obedience and manners, who would take her on adventures and road trips and let her explore the sights, sounds and smells the world has to offer. She would benefit from a family that has the time to work with her on basic and advanced obedience training. By working together both SPLASH and her humans can learn each others body language and personality, expectations and boundaries can be set and with self-training a stronger bond formed.

We currently feed SPORTMIX Wholesomes Chicken Meal & Rice Formula, a 4* (a per www.dogfoodadvisor.com) GRAIN FREE food along with pro-bioitics and immune support supplements listed on the available dogs page!

SPLASH is available for adoption through Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $500. This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food and anything else that is needed.

SPLASH is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. We post in various states along the east coast and Canada where we have had lots of successful adoptions to enable more exposure for these beautiful saved souls. Families will need to be prepared to travel to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. There is a local hotel in Dover-Foxcroft that is pet-friendly (approx 6 miles) and several in Bangor (approx 45 miles). There are also lots of wonderful camp-sites for the more adventurous families and what a great way to get to know your new best friend. If there are options to arrange transport, we will work with you to make it happen.
