My story

　　Mischief is an 18 month old Border Collie / German Shepherd mix.

　　He is a medium size dog about 55 pounds.

　　He is a very active dog and would do best in a home with a large yard and time to exercise him daily.

　　Mischief does like to play with other dogs, but he also likes his space in his kennel if he gets too excited. Mischief has been working with a dog trainer to be better socialized and has gone on field trips to the park to be better around strange people, dogs, and squirrels. He knows basic commands of sit, stay, lay down, settle, touch (nose to hand), spin, and crate up. His current owners have also been working with the dog trainer on loose leash walking, recall, leave it and jumping. Mischief has some anxiety and is on daily medication to help. His anxiety can manifest as food aggression, nervousness around small children, and can be territorial.

　　He does tend to destroy small toys if they are left unattended.

　　Mischief loves adventure and has fun camping and being outdoors, even in the snow! He has a fun personality and is excited to experience the world. He is a great companion to the work at home lifestyle, but he can also be content in his kennel if duty calls. If you are interested in adopting the first step is to fill out an adoption application on our website aaanimalrescue.org. We are currently very busy! We do have a lot of inquiries on a daily basis and also have approved applications on file.. Please reach out to [email protected] if you have an approved application on file! Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time! We are on a mission to find everyone companions, we will continue to rescue dogs weekly! We update our page every Monday evening. We are not currently hosting any Petco adoption events for the public. We will be hosting meet/greet adoptions.Breed and size disclosure: As a rescue all of our dogs come to us from high-kill shelters or other rescues, so we do not get a lot of background or information on these dogs. We occasionally receive the mother with the puppies, but in most cases both parents are unknown. Because of this we do not know the full breeding of the dogs. We are required to list the dogs based on the breeds provided to us on their records, but they are all mixed breeds as far as we know, and we cannot guarantee the actual breeds of any of these dogs. Since the full breeding of the dogs is unknown we can also only give you an educated guess on the full-grown size of the dogs. All of the current information we have on the dogs is listed in their bio above. More information may be available at our adoption event, since a lot of the fosters turn in report cards on how the dog has done in their care when they drop them off. Adoption Process: If you are interested in adopting from us, the first step of our adoption process is to fill out an application online at http://aaanimalrescue.org/adoption_app.html. It takes us 24-48 hours to process your application and get back to you, via email. Applications turned in Friday afternoon or Saturday morning will not be processed since we are preparing for or at our adoption event. We do have applications on site at our events, but are not always able to approve them at that time and many of the dogs will already have holds on them, so we suggest you fill out an application prior to attending an adoption event. We can place a hold on one dog per approved applicant after a deposit fee has been received, please do not ask to hold a dog if you have not turned in

　　an application and been approved, for the first hour of our adoption event, so that they can get the first chance to meet and hopefully adopt that dog. After the first hour of the event all dogs are available on a first come, first serve basis. If you already have an approved application on file, there will just be more paperwork and the adoption fee at the event, but you will be able to take home the dog/puppy that day. Since we are foster based and do not have a location, our dogs are only available to meet at our events, unless otherwise noted.

　　If you have any questions or would like to adopt Mischief, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
