Bob (Logan), STAR #1435

Bob, handsome red-tri male with super cute freckles, is now a part of the Bartlett family and we are so happy to welcome them to STAR.  This Aussie savvy family was ready to love on another and Bob will join Brodie (terrier) who has really been missing his Aussie buddy the family lost recently.  Thanks, D’Ann and Liane for the home visit and a big thanks to Deb for fostering and loving on this boy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bob is a handsome Red Tri Male, around 6 years old and 55lbs.  From his foster home:

Bob got to go to the vet this week and everyone in the office was his long lost-friend.  Loved by all!  He’s so friendly, he’ll never be a guard dog -haha…  Top 15 facts about Bob from his foster mom:

1) potty trained and crate trained.

2) sleeps on a mat on my bedroom floor but when no one is home he is crated.

3) Previous owner had said that he doesn’t understand personal space.  As we know, many and most Aussies have personal space issues!

4) Does some counter-surfing.  But only when no one else is in the room and he’ll investigate for treats.  On the bright side – he does not rummage through the trash can!

5) Mr. Vocal!  He is vocal which is different than barky.  He doesn’t bark at leaves blowing in the wind.  He whines and yips at you to get your attention like when he wants water (yes, he has told me when the water bowl is empty) or he wants a treat (which is typically what he wants).  He also makes a cute growly sound playing tug-of-war. This is not aggressive, this is play.

6) Gets along well with other dogs – My 40lb female is more aggressive than him.  He will drop the rope or ball when she gets bossy.

7) When outside he might dig in the flowerbed for fun – but he stops immediately when you tell him to stop.  Of course, he does not remember when he goes out next, so it is a bit of an endless cycle.

8) He loves toys of all types.  He will defluff and dequeak them rapidly!  He likes antlers and chewbones too.

9) Loves to fetch and play tug with you and other dogs.

11) Can be mouthy when I am rough housing with him.  These were times when he was already excited at play and I scratched his chest or tummy (i.e., putting my hand in reach).  He didn’t bite but he put his mouth on my hand.  Like he would a dog playmate.

12) Several times I have witnessed him wake with a startle response.  When this happens, he either whirls around to see what is getting him or he runs to one of us.

13) He has had some obedience training and is food (treat) motivated, so he is very easy to train.  He is smart and will sit nicely for a treat.

14) Loves to go.  When I took him the vet he got so excited to see the leash.  He was so happy and jumping, but he sat nicely to let me put the leash on him.

15) He walks nicely on leash – but he is a larger dog and can pull when excited.

If you are interested in Bob, please fill out and application!  His foster home is in China Springs (NW of Waco).
