Be sure to read ALL information provided.
QUILLON was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas where dogs often have only 3 days to be saved. QUILLON is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, de-wormed, monthly preventatives and microchipped. At the time of rescue at the end of November 2020, he weighed around 18 pounds and has an estimated date of birth 10 September 2020
. We cannot say for sure what breed he is, so we expect families to do their own research on his look and size and decide what breed you think he is and if you have the lifestyle suitable for his needs. Being a puppy that is growing his weight will most likely not be accurate at the time of reading, we do not have weighing scales at the rescue so be sure to research size comparison with age.
At the time of writing Quillon has only been at the rescue a few days, so there is not much information that can be provided. Quillon did spend a short time with a foster family in Texas where he learned to adjust to a family life. It was clear he wasn't used to affection and was very independent, but by the time he was ready for transport to the rescue up in Maine, he enjoyed getting snuggles and being part of a family.
Quillon is a typical confident, vocal shepherd who has his own mind and does what he wants to do - or will if he can get away with it. We are looking for families with experience of Shepherds or working dog breeds to ensure they understand the importance and need of socialization, mental stimulation and exercise suitable to his age. He does have big paws and thick legs and so we can only imagine he is going to be a big handsome boy who will need to respect his family and not become a handful.
An active family with the knowledge of mental stimulation is what we are looking for to find this very sweet boys perfect family.
More pictures and possible video's can be found on his page on the rescue website.
We are not able to say how he will be around cats or livestock.
All dogs use dog doors to go out and do their business or to enjoy the cool, fresh weather in their dog runs or communal areas. We cannot say if a dog is house-trained, however, we expect families to understand that all dogs need a transition period and accidents could happen and training is most definitely needed.
All dogs are fed Rachael Ray Nutrish PEAK Natural Dry Dog Food, Grain Free Western Grasslands Recipe with Bison. Rachael Ray Nutrish Peak Dog Food receives the Dog Food Advisor’s second-highest tier rating of 4.5 stars.
QUILLON is available for adoption for an adoption fee of $550
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, general day to day cost of running a brick and mortar rescue and anything else that is needed. Canadian adopters need to know that customs charge 15% taxes when entering into Canada.
Due to borders being closed, it is up to families to call the US and Canadian borders to find the current details on border crossing. Animal Welfare is deemed essential in the US, but quarantine rules entering back into Canada must be followed.
If you feel that you have the heart and home to give this precious soul a wonderful life, please go to our website, under the ADOPTION INFO tab, complete, then submit the APPLICATION. Our process takes around 2-4 days, and ensuring your references are aware that we will be calling, could speed up the process.
