❤️ Duke & Dodger ❤️

What’s better than a New Dog for a New Year? TWO NEW DOGS! Bonded brothers, boon companions, companions, playmates and less work for you!
No one can play with a young dog better than another young dog!

Darling Duke and Dodger are bonded brothers who are loving, playful, well-trained and adorable!

Both boys are 2 years old and standard-Aussie size at 45-48 lbs. Dodger is mixed Aussie with German Shepherd but just as smart and more laid-back. They know several commands and are housebroken with a doorbell they ring to go outside!

Both brothers are very sweet, smart, active, playful, affectionate, and love to cuddle.

When Duke & Dodger are not on their squirrel-chasing missions outside they love to interact with their people, playing fetch, chasing toys and all other fun outdoor activities.

Indoors they’ll snuggle with their people; 2 people give them each a cuddle-buddy. While napping on their bed or playing with each other they’ll gladly move into position for head scratches, booty pats and cuddling on the couch!

With new people they still get excited to greet and make a new friend; they could work on re-learning not to jump but this mainly started with the loss of consistent time with their beloved, current owners.

These Bonded Bros would do great in a home with
Aussie-Savvy or older kids; anywhere that can provide lots of activities, outside playtime, and inside sleeping arrangements would be a wonderful home. They like squeaky toys and lick-mats.

One reason we don’t recommend a doggie-door is that they LIKE to be outside in the cold and that should be monitored. Both prefer indoors on hot and/or rainy days.

The only training they could use is for leash-walks; they’ve always had a huge fenced backyard for exercise and play-time. They aren’t bad on leashes but they need consistent walks just for basics.

Together Duke and Dodger can stay inside for 6-8 hour stretches of no one else is home; they’re not destructive and are potty-trained.

Duke and Dodger have been loved, well treated and well-trained. The only reason for rehoming is their can’t spend adequate time with them due to recent changes in work hours.

We know we will find a fantastic new Family for Duke & Dodger!

General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city. Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities.

We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD.



 

Please READ ALL of our info below BEFORE SENDING APPLICATION.

Our goal is to help our puppies and dogs find FOREVER HOMES AND FAMILIES, NOT TO MAKE IT PROHIBITIVE FOR YOU TO ADOPT. However, once we review the application and contact you, we MEET TO ADOPT, so please let us know if you are ONLY APPLYING TO STAY ON FILE or THAT YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT, for the consideration of our puppies and dogs and families who know the time is right!

COVID-19 UPDATE: Due to the prohibitive nature of COVID-19 we are conducting ALL home checks via virtual appointments. We are also NOT allowing meet & greet appointments with puppies or dogs who are not completely up to date on vaccinations due to risk or exposure to outside contaminants. We REQUIRE ALL adopters to wear a mask & gloves when picking up their pet, to insure that everyone is protected from unknowing exposure to COVID-19.

THERE WILL BE ZERO ACCEPT IONS MADE.

Go meet their pets

We do not have a shelter - we accept online applications and either have individuals meet at foster homes or we will bring dogs to a safe, fenced neutral area - depends on situation.

More about this rescue

I am the Executive Director - I started DASH with a select group of co-rescuing friends and neighbors because we saw a need to rescue very adoptable dogs from Death Rows at municipal shelters and believe through foster care we can work with and train these dogs to be ideal family pets.
