The 3 Amigos - Ricky Elliot, Augustus and Ricky were found wandering stray together in a rural area before a very kind family took them in and kept them safe. These boys have come a long way, but they are still learning that people can be trusted. They are very timid at first and need patient, understanding homes that will allow them time to decompress and build confidence at their own pace. Elliot is the bravest of the trio and now loves to climb onto the sofa to hang out with his people. Once he is used to his surroundings Elliot especially loves sleeping on the bed with his humans if they will let him! Gus is still more of an observer. He is curious about humans but not quite ready to jump into the mix. He has started to venture out more often and will occasionally join into the activities of the humans around him. Ricky is becoming more curious every day and wants to be part of the family activities but he is still gauging exactly how much he can trust humans compared to all the dogs around him that he loves. All three dogs absolutely love other dogs and thrive around canine companions. They are playful, energetic and happiest when romping around with their dog friends. Because they are currently fostering in a home with eight total dogs they can become overwhelmed so we know they would blossom much faster in calmer homes with more individual attention. They take treats more confidently and clearly thrive with love and affection — with continued patience, kindness, routine and another friendly dog to help show them the way, these sweet boys will be wonderful companions for both dog friends and humans! We are looking for homes with Australian Shepherd experience; we’d like mature homes without children, calm environments and people who have the time and patience to work with the dog. If you feel it, you’ll be a great match Please complete the application on our website below then text: Sara: 214-549-9905ANDKevin:469-623-3999 So we can check your application and get back to you! www.dashdog.org General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city.
