"Bogue" Fostered in Swanton, OH
New to rescue 4/10/08 from a southern Ohio shelter:
Bogus aka "Bogue", was pulled along with his littermate Zane. Bogue is around 10-11 weeks old. He is very outgoing, friendly and full of himself. He needs guidance to direct his ornery-ness into good things. Bogue was very wormy, had a harsh haircoat, and was terribly underweight for one so young. We will continue to feed him a premium puppy food, crate train, house break, and teach him basic obedience skills. Bogue is neutered, had his first round of shots, and worming. He will get his second round of shots by the end of April. If his health and social skills continue to improve he will be ready for adoption towards the beginning of May.
UPDATE 4-24-08 - Bogus is in foster care in Swanton OH. He has had his second round of shots and worming. He is living with 2 resident Stumpy Tail ACD's, and foster pup Peach. He is crate trained and nearly housebroken.
Bogus Update 5/08 – Bogus has been at his foster home almost a month now. He lives with two resident Stumpy Tail Cattle Dogs, but Peach, a foster, was adopted. It took him a few days to get over losing Peach but he is back in action now. Bogus loves to play and ruff house with the two resident cattle dogs, the neighboring lab, and his people. Bogus is growing like a weed and now weighs more then 15 lbs. He loves to go on walks down the road and in the parks. He has even given swimming a try. He is good on a leash, is learning about clicker training, and is almost fully potty trained.. Bogus can now make it over 6 hours at night in his crate before needing be let out. Last week Bogus went to agility class as a spectator and stole the show. He has a bold personality that makes it easy for him to approach new dogs and people. He already shows the characteristic cattle dog velcro-ness. He will follow his people everywhere and has never offered to run off. Bogus, like most ACD's, is an active guy and needs daily exercise to be happy. He likes to play with any toy he can chase or chew on and is always up for a game of tug. Bogus (named after Idaho's famous Bogus Basin ski resort) is a gorgeous Australian shepherded x Cattle Dog mix. It looks like he was going to be an ACD, but got a white top coat. You can see his tan points and black body through the white, but he is getting less white as his puppy coat sheds. His prettiest feature is his blue merle full mask and long tip ears. This guy will make a great companion that is sure to get noticed.
