Cheri is a 1-2 year old red-tri Aussie. She is on the small side, standing about 17 inches tall, with a thick coat, docked tail. She could use some grooming to remove mats. She was found as a stray in rural Iowa and taken to the Safe Haven Shelter in Williamsburg.
Protege evaluated her, and she is a very sweet girl, she loves, loves, loves human attention in any way possible. Once you start petting her, she flops over on her back for belly rubs & she can’t get enough belly rubs! You can touch her anywhere, it’s all good with her!
We would have taken Cheri into our rescue program but she does have 1 flaw, she does NOT get along with other dogs. She can coexist with a non-reactive dog peacefully in the kennel run next to her, but if she’s in their presence outside of the kennel she’d really like to start a fight, even with a submissive dog.
Cheri will need a home that can keep her from getting into trouble with other dogs, she will need to be managed on walks or in public places with other dogs. If you are interested in additional information please contact the Safe Haven Shelter directly via their Web site or by phone at (319) 325-0150, and they can tell you more about her.
