Meg-Adopted!

Meg arrived at NCCR on 3/27/24, taken in when her family could no longer provide adequate care for her. She is an approximately 2-3-year-old female Australian Cattle Dog. Meg lived with several other dogs and got along fine with them, but likes to play a little rough and may be a bit of a bully toward timid or submissive dogs. She is a herding breed and will likely do best with a family that can give her plenty of exercise and a job to do, although she should do fine living in a smaller home, as she prefers to be wherever you are. She seems to be house trained, and loves attention and cuddles. She has a big voice and likes to announce herself wherever she goes!

Her foster mom (also a dog trainer!) had this to say: She’s done very well with people of all ages. Jumps some, but easily queued “off”. She may adjust well to cats in her future home, and is primarily curious. Relaxed well in the crate overnight, but didn’t get into anything overnight when left out of the crate. Tolerated bathing well. Travels calmly in the car, wears a seatbelt for restraint. Probably best meeting dogs when a leash doesn’t have to be involved, sometimes reactive to other dogs when on leash, overexcited/barking. She is affectionate and cuddly, loves people.  Meg is now back at the shelter, so you can stop in and meet her!

If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an  Adoption Application.  *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you.   If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.

We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.

*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.

Meg is sponsored by Donna Hazlett, Lenore Goold, Heath Forster, Roberta Gray, Victor and Gloria Armes, and Ann Odell. Thank you everyone!
