Rescue Me ID: 13-05-12-00189Batman (male)

Rottweiler Mix    Age: Puppy

Compatibility: Good with Most Dogs, Good with Adults (Not Kids) 
Personality: Average Energy, Somewhat Dominant 
Health: Neutered, Vaccinations Current 

    Batman is a great dog!! He's been with us almost 8 months. I know he's trainable, I just don't have the time. He spends a lot of time in his kennel while I'm at work. He's not great with small children - he hasn't bitten anyone, but does show aggression towards them. He wants to please us and is very lovable but he is more work than I have time for at this point. I want him to go to a good home where he can be the watch dog he wants to be and be able to run and play.

He will soon be neutered and is up to date on his vaccines. He is quite healthy and as far as we know, he is a pure Australian Cattle Dog, but we don't have papers for him. Cooper is house trained and good with all people and most dogs. He does have some seperation anxiety, ... (Read More)but this could be easily trained away when he has his own people to focus on him. His adopters must currently live in the Vermont - New Hampshire - Maine area. This would be a private adoption, but a phone interview, veterinarian reference, a meet and greet, and home visit will be required. We want Cooper to have the very best new home possible. (Less)

PIease Read Before Adopting a Dog in Vermont
    Dogs can make good pets in Vermont if they match your IifestyIe. Dogs have a reputation for being "man's best friend" for excellent reasons. Dogs are wonderful companions. Many breeds, in addition to being affectionate, devoted members of the family, are useful working dogs and guardians. Most dogs form tight bonds with their humans, and need to be cared for like the valuable family members they are. But sadly, some owners do not live up to the responsibility and involvement it takes to properly care for a dog throughout its life. Dogs can become the victims of neglect or active abuse. Some dogs receive tender, attentive care from their owners, but no longer have a home after their owner passes away or experiences a major life event that makes him unable to keep his dog. There are many more dogs than there are homes for dogs, and dogs that are not spayed or neutered can accidentally produce large numbers of puppies, exacerbating overpopulation. For this reason, three to four million dogs, many of them perfectly healthy and wonderful animals, are euthanized in the U.S. each year.

    Many people get excited about owning a new dog, decide to get a puppy, and then pick one out at a pet shop or visit a breeder with a new litter. However, there are so many wonderful, friendly dogs in need of adoption, including puppies and purebreds. Some of these dogs might even be a better fit for a family than a new puppy; for instance, some adult dogs in need of adoption are already housebroken and obedience trained. Adoption is typically much less expensive than purchasing a dog. People who adopt dogs find the experience extremely rewarding, bond very closely with their dogs, and have the added satisfaction of knowing that one less animal has to be euthanized. If your family is ready for a canine companion, please consider adopting a dog!

lnteresting Dog Trivia Low-Cost Vermont Spay & Neuter Clinics
    All dogs, even cute little lap dogs, are ultimately descended from domesticated wolves. There are hundreds of dog breeds with extremely varied characteristics and sizes, from the tiniest teacup Chihuahua to the hugest Mastiff, but all of these breeds make up just one species Canis lupus familiaris and can theoretically breed with one another (although there can be practical and health related constraints.) Dogs can hear much lower frequencies than humans, over twice as high as humans, and about four times as far as humans.
