Loki is an estimated four year old Australian shepherd mix.  He was originally brought into rescue several months ago when his owner was being evicted from the family ranch.  Loki is actually believed to be Kyla’s brother.  Kyla is also in our program.  Loki is a pretty rambunctious and strong young guy.  He is probably around 50 pounds.  He was adopted out by our rescue but Loki was returned as he was just too much for the older and small statured owners.  He pulls very strongly on walks and can be reactive towards other dogs and cats that he encounters.  Without aides such as a gentle leader he can pull over an inattentive walker.  With those that he knows he can be a very sweet boy and he has been good with dogs that he has been properly introduced to and lives with.  We would probably not recommend a cat family.  We think he would be good with older kids.  He can be a bit of a barker in the yard if not corrected. 

Loki has no known health issues, is neutered, microchipped, and current on shots. 

Meet Ranger our newest sheltie.  He is a handsome male, currently unneutered, three to five year old sheltie.  He was turned over to rescue by a person who spent four months trying to trap him in the Concho area.  He is reportedly originally from a backyard breeder of questionable quality.  As might be expected from such a background he is pretty shy and relatively unsocialized.  He currently avoids most human interaction.  He does well with other dogs, even playful with those so inclined, and has lived with a cat.  Ranger would do best in a quieter and secure household and a lot of activity would probably be stressful to him.  A household with another younger and more social dog would be great.  He would be considered a flight risk and needs a higher fence as he reportedly is a high jumper.  He currently avoids most human interaction.  We will be working to get him neutered.  He has been microchipped and received his rabies and distemper/parvo shots.
