SHERLOCK - Paws Behind Bars Trained

SHERLOCK SHERLOCK is a 1-year-old male, cattle dog mix who weighs 40 lbs. We feel he is very close to his mature weight. We are guessing at his breed mix only because of his beautiful merle coat and his energy level. This guy is very friendly and very active. SHERLOCK is very outgoing, and he's good with other dogs. He came to us from a local shelter where he was picked up as a stray. More than likely, someone got him as a puppy and then was not able to provide the proper amount of exercise. Thanks to our volunteers, he'll get to go on long walks so we can get an idea of when he throttles it back a bit. Thanks to our Paws Behind Bars prison dog training program, we have the resources to help young, energetic dogs like Sherlock. We also know Sherlock needs a "job" and the inmate handlers are good at providing that also. Sherlock did very well in the program. He's smart and he learned quickly. He also mastered crate, leash and house training. His best friend in the prison was Graham, our big black Pyrenees mix (available for adoption also) To look at them, it was a Laurel & Hardy pair, but they complimented each other nicely. Sherlock's perfect family should be active. A good fenced in yard and another young dog to play with are also desired. IMPORTANT: Please Keep in mind both the age and life expectancy of Sherlock. Our guiding principle for adoptions is to seek the right fit for our rescues and the families, including a home that can stay committed to the animal for life. If interested in adopting SHERLOCK, our process begins with submission of our online application which can be found at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com. Additional FAQ's can be found here also. Meets will be set with approved applicants. Thank you!
