Meet Slick! A handsome Australian Shepherd born 1/2023. He came to NDLB in April 2024 from a breeder release in Missouri. He is very scared and nervous of any human touch. But with time, he should come out of his shell. 

He enjoys watching the other dogs in the foster home, but hasn't interacted with them just yet. He hasn't met a cat, so unsure how he would be with that. He is nervous currently, so would recommend older kids at this time.

Being a breeder release, he hasn't received any sort of training or how to be "a dog". He is still getting used to being on a leash (he does flail around a bit still so we just go slow). I don't think he has been outside until NDLB as he is unsure what to do. So we are working on potty training. 

His fur may be in patches as he was going through demodex mange when he first arrived. This mange is the one that is NOT contagious to humans or any pets. He went through treatment of his foster home having to put two ointments on his skin twice a day. 

His eyes are two colored, or Heterochromia, where one is brown and the other is a sky blue. 

Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, dental, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $750.00
