Cracker Jack (we call him Jackie Jack) and his friends were surrendered by an owner who didn't have time for all the dogs they were breeding.
He is very shy especially with strangers. He has ZERO recall, so we keep him on leash in the yard. He has gotten to where he loves walks and following his foster parents in the yard. There are signs of his previous life where he wasn't properly trained or simply ignored. He has strong verbal reactions to many common everyday items (sweeping, squirt bottles, aluminum foil) and occurrences (people walking by, loud trucks.). His foster parents are working on desensitizing that. But if you want a mostly quiet, affectionate (on his terms) handsome boy, he will make a good pet. He is highly food motivated.
Height 16 inches, Weight 25 pounds, DOB 07/21/16
Cracker Jack has been neutered. He is microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations, flea and heartworm preventive, and has recently been groomed. His adoption fee is $400.
Sheltie Rescue of GA, Inc. does not have a shelter. Our dogs are safely housed in foster homes all around the state.
Please note, Sheltie Rescue of GA, Inc. does not do out-of-state adoptions, and a TALL fenced yard is required. This boy can JUMP!
