In the shelter’s words

Chevy is an approx 20 mos old 45# Australian Shepherd. He some how ended up in a small rural TX shelter. They try their best to find rescues for dogs there but since no one had stepped up, Chevy went on their euthanasia list for space. There was no light left in his eyes, then one of our rescue partners stepped in to get him out and ready to come to CO. Chevy is a big goof and completely sweet but doesn’t have the confidence to approach people he doesn’t know yet so another well balanced, playful dog or dogs in his new home is a must as well as a female caregiver. Chevy will now approach his foster for pets and to gently nibble her fingers or pockets for cookie crumbs. Once he comes out of his shell, it’s game on! He likes thrashing plush toys, counter surfing, and stealing blankets from his foster siblings. Chevy can be a little awkward reading doggie body language but he’s slowly learning and just wants another dog to play with him. He loves kongs, puzzle toys, anything that hides a treat inside, and is very food motivated. A crate is his safe space and where he sleeps. He has learned that walkies are fun esp on a long line where he can sniff and pee. He is potty trained when let out often but will need to be closely supervised at first so he doesn’t lift his leg in a new environment. He’d likely do best in a quiet suburban, rural, or mountainous environment rather than with busy city and traffic noises. Watching Chevy’s personality emerge is truly rewarding and he will continue to blossom in a patient and loving home. Chevy is looking for someone experienced with undersocialized, shy pups. Big movements frighten him but he might be ok with a calm, respectful, dog savvy child 12+. We have not cat tested him but he was ok with a barn cat in his previous foster home in TX. He requires a secure fenced yard, preferably with 5-6’ fence and humans who aren’t gone long hours. We do consider him a moderate flight risk until he understands that he’s home and safe. If you’re interested in meeting Chevy, please complete a meet and greet application at https://www.corgisandfriends.com/forms as the first step. We require the application, home and reference check, and meet with everyone in the home. Chevy is neutered, utd on vaccs, chipped, and HW-. His adoption fee is $400 and we do not adopt outside of Colorado.
