Sheltie Rescue of Central Indiana

Archie is a delightful 6-year-old boy who loves people and loves to play.  His other loves include getting his belly rubs, rummaging through the dog toys (should be ‘hardy’ ones) and showing off his Sit and Shake commands for treats.  His favorite games are fetch and doing the zoomies/chase with other dogs. 

He was raised with a family and has perfect house manners, including housetraining. He adapts very quickly and is not shy about making himself at home on the sofa or bed.  But one caution, don’t leave the porcelain bowl lid up! LOL. He’s not picky where his drinks come from. He’s quiet in the house, but will alert in the yard to squirrels, raccoons, and other animals or strangers.  He has a good recall to his name and returns even faster if the word “Treat” is mentioned. He does get along well with other dogs.  It’s unknown how he’d be with cats.  On leash he’s a bit of a puller, but I suspect with consistent training this can be corrected.

Archie is 17” and tips the scales at 30 lbs.  He’s neutered, current on all vaccinations and negative for heart worms.  He recently completed a full dental work up with cleaning. He’s a gorgeous red sable with very little black.  While too much of a herding dog for families with small children, he would be a great fit for a family with grade schoolers and above and/or active adults.  He prefers not to be crated, but will settle down after several minutes in one.
