Border Collie / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Get ready to fall in love with Owen! Owen is estimated to be 4 months old and is a little charmer who is quick to win you over with his big brown eyes and gentle demeanor. He is looking for an active family who can keep up with his curious and adventurous personality. Owen currently weighs about 20lbs, and we guess that he will be around 60lbs when fully grown. Owen and his brother, Alex, came to us from a Central California animal shelter after they ended up on the euthanasia list due to a lack of space. They were the last two from their litter to be adopted, and we knew we couldn't let them down and we are so grateful to find a foster family for them. These boys are looking for individual homes with large dog-savvy families so they can get the one-on-one training they need. Owen is the more shy and independent of the boys. While his brother could spend all day racing around, Owen appreciates lots of sunbathing in between wrestling matches. He loves to get pets and will paw you for more attention if you stop. He is still learning all of his basic manners and needs a family dedicated to continuing his training. He hasn't had much experience out and about and will need some confidence boosting to help him thrive. Owen has done great with other dogs and loves to play with the small dog in his foster home. We think he would do best with another playful dog in his home to help mentor him, and so he always has someone to wrestle with. Owen has done well living with dog-savvy cats with a slow introduction and proper supervision. Owen could make a wonderful addition to a family with kids 10 years and older. Owen is still working on his housetraining, and his new family should be patient with him and be consistent about taking him out often. He has been doing well with his crate training and is comfortable sleeping in there at night and during the day for a few hours at a time. He has always been with his brother, so he will need some time to slowly acclimate to being alone. Owen is such a darling boy, and we know he is going to make a great addition to a family dedicated to helping him learn and grow. If you think that might be you, submit an adoption application today!

The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit, foster home-based animal rescue organization and does not have a shelter. All our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm, started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations prior to adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to their age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption.
