My Story
MEGAN
Age 7 months
Location: Incline Village
female
Breed: border collie/Great Dane/Labrador (?) mix NOTE: we are guessing on the breed, but I have had her for two months now and have concluded that her lineage definitely includes Great Dane, probably border collie, certainly lab.
Weight: 40 lbs now, probably will reach 50 lbs or a little more
Healthy: healthy, spayed
Nexgarde, dewormed, vaccines, 4 DX, blood test
Energy: she has loving energy, always happy and playful, she gets along so easy with anyone.
Friends of dogs: she is friendly with the dogs once she gets to know them, at first greet and meet Megan is a little of an outsider and a little cautious but it doesn’t take much time until she feels comfortable.
She definitely needs a few minutes to settled into new
Environments, but it doesn’t take long.
Children’s friends: She is somewhat cautious when meeting new people, including children, but it doesn't take her long to warm up
Etiquette with leash: Yes, and is growing more confident every day. She walks well off leash and does not stray far. She looks back often, she does not want to lose you!.
Resource guarding:
MEGAN is a happy dog, always on the move, you notice her often
She happily shares toys and food. Maybe a little resource full on her food.
She is very obedient when she is spoken to but needs basic training.
Barking/loud: no
She whines and howls a bit when food is being prepared or when she is super excited. I have been working on this (I have roommates!) and she has gotten much better. She is learning to be quiet when I tell her to stop. She comes when called. She does not bark a lot. She is very enthusiastic about life.
When someone arrives at the house, they are received with great enthusiasm.
Megan is a sweet dog
She definitely will love the runs in the woods or lakes .
Domestic: Yes
Good in the car: Yes, calm down in the car. She might whine for a few minutes when we first set off, but she quickly calms down. She has ridden both in a crate in the car and out.
TEMPERAMENT:
MEGAN is an incredibly affectionate dog who loves you as soon you make contact with her .
Her energy is high
I have cats in the house and she gets a bit excited. She has already learned to mellow out about the cats. My cats have decided that she's OK.
She has been going to dog obedience class and has come a LONG way. She's not very good at heel but she is learning not to pull. She can walk off leash (in the forest, for example) and she will stay with you. She knows sit, lay, stay and knows not to jump on people or items in the house (although she sometimes does it anyway!)
Housetrained: She has not had a single accident in the two months I've had her. She definitely knows what to do.
Megan is going to be an exceptional dog. I might be hard pressed to give her up at this point, because I have put a lot of energy into turning her into the perfect dog. She will have to go to an exceptional home!
RESCUE STORY
Megan was born on the streets with 5 other siblings, 2 were run over by a car, 2 disappeared and we found Megan in a Gas station when still a puppy.
Our adoption fee helps to cover our expenses. We are willing to work with people to find the perfect fit.
