I'll need a calm home environment that I can safely navigate and low-impact activities to keep me entertained. When I am feeling safe and comfortable, I love to lean in for snuggles and stay close to my person. My future family should also be prepared to partner with a veterinarian, share my medical records, and seek additional care if my needs change. I have so much love to give, and I’m hoping to find someone who will meet me with patience, understanding, and plenty of love. My adoption fee is $150. I'm spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

18. Music Man
Adult · Male · Cattle Dog / Shepherd / Mixed




Hi there! I'm Music Man. I’ve been the "Resident Rock Star" at the rescue for over a year now, and while I love my fans here, I’m officially ready to take my show on the road. My name might sound like a soft melody, but I’m a total metalhead at heart. My favorite lullabies are screaming guitar solos, and my energy is always dialed up to eleven!I’m a smart, high energy guy who needs a very specific home to feel safe and happy. Here is what I’m looking for in my forever home:- My perfect venue is a home with a fenced yard.- I am strictly a one-and-only pet. I want to be the center of your universe, and I’m not looking to share my stage with any other furry backup singers.- I’m looking for an adult-only home where things stay predictable and chill.- I love force-free training sessions just as much as I love splashing in water, chasing bubbles, playing with a flirt pole, or shredding a squeaky toy.If you’re a dedicated, experienced dog owner who loves having a dog with a massive personality, let’s get this show started!Please schedule your meet-and-greet with at least 24 hours' notice.
