Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie - Rex - Medium - Young - Male - Dog for sale in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie - Rex - Medium - Young - Male - Dog
Rex is about 3 years old. He's a tri color sheltie with a ton of energy. He loves to play fetch and would be a great agility dog. He gets so excited to go out to play, or for walks. He listens very well, is eager to please, and is very affectionate. He can jump over items 4 ft tall, so fence of at least 5' tall is required. He learns very fast too. Rex is a dietary special needs dog, because he has a food intolerance, which is what categorizes him as a "special needs" dog here on Petfinder. He has to eat Purina HA as he is incapable of digesting certain fats and proteins. We discovered that after he continued to loose weight, even though he was eating 4-5 cups of food a day, and was constantly hungry. He's now in top shape, up to a healthy weight and his coat is filling in nicely. He does bark at squirrels and cats. He's cautious around other dogs and he can be possessive over toys, water and food with some other dogs, but not all dogs - and never with people. He gets along with most of the dogs in our program and others he does not tolerate, so he'd probably do best in a home without another dog, to be sure there aren't any squabbles. He likes to snuggle and likes hugs and kisses. Rex would do well with someone that understands a high energy dog needs to be walked daily, or play frisbee or fetch every day - to keep from becoming bored and just barking at everything all the time out of boredom. The easiest thing is to play fetch and he just LOVES that! He can be a counter surfer, so keep food off the counter, or he may have a snack. An experienced Sheltie owner would be a great home for Rex, as he's also the stereotypical sheltie, that likes to fuss at the doorbell, vacuum, etc. He's crate trained, house trained, clicker trained to come in the house, and positive reinforcement trained. He's neutered, up to date on shots, heartworm and tick disease negative. We require at least a 5ft fence to ensure his safety. If you are interested in Rex, contact us via this website and we'll get started on the adoption approval process.
