Flash is a beautiful and very sweet 2 year old neutered male, 1/2 Border Collie and 1/4 each Husky and German Shepherd. We have been fostering him since late Sept. His prior owners moved and were not able to take him with them. In his previous home he had another older dog and a 3 year old so he is comfortable with kids and other animals. In fact, we have three other dogs, and Flash took less than one day to get used to the crew. They play and relax well together.  He actually really thrives in the company of other dogs, and we think the dogs really helped him transition to a new home-he is very gentle with them, and I think he would be a great companion dog for another dog. He also has does well with our indoor/outdoor cats--very interested in them, but no aggression at all--just sniffs them more than they would like!  He is house trained, but if you don't want him on the couch, you will need to work with him, as he clearly is used to being up there.  He is smart though, and learns quickly.  He was not crate trained but by our third night with us he was fine with it. He is not a picky eater.  He does get nervous when first confronted with someone new and will bark at them-- he did this to my husband and son when he first met them; after they simply ignored him and went about their business, he finally approached them, and then relaxed.  We do have a large fenced yard in the country, and I think he would do best with a fenced yard --he is 67 lbs and needs room to run off steam. Outside of the fence, he walks well on a leash. I have included a video showing how gentle he is, and several pics, including one of him with all three of our other dogs to show how relaxed they feel with each other.  Flash is on the far right of that picture.  Flash is truly so very sweet. If it weren't that we already have three dogs, we would keep this boy!

This dogs adoption fee is  $175  which covers the following: spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing, dhp/p, rabies, bordatella (agre appropriate vaccines), deworming, and all the care he received while with CVRR.  All animals are on flea and tick and parasite prevention for the duration in fostercare. We are an volunteer group, who process the applications so please be patient and  understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks, follow-up questions.   You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone and email addresses for all your references.  Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have multiple applications in process .    We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible. When your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the dog  picks you too.  If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee and an adoption contract to be signed.  The adoption fees help cover a portion of the care provided to the animals. All dogs and cats are microchipped and all animals adopted out are spayed/neutered and fully vetted. **All of our animals have a lifetime commitment. If for any reason, the adoption does not work out, the cats and dogs are to come back to CVRR, which is a NO kill rescue.*** The foster family and the rescue volunteers will choose the new home based on the best fit for the dog/cat.
