FALCON

BreedQueensland HeelerSexMaleSizeLargeAgeSenior

Meet FALCONQuiet gentle Falcon is part of a bonded pair with Olsa, who is most likely his daughter. They were left behind when the family moved away, and found themselves in our shelter, sad and confused. But they have each other and that seems to make all the difference! They have been in foster care for several months and are doing very well there.Falcon is about ten years old and about 53 pounds. He is a sweet gentle soul who doesn't wanna cause any trouble. He loves going on walks around the neighborhood but otherwise is just happy to hang out. He is not fit enough for hikes or long walks however.The two of them are so easy that anybody who wants dogs that make few demands but are good company would be lucky to have these two. They are crate trained and love going on car rides as well and of course they are housebroken. They do great with other dogs and seemed scared when they met a cat. They are gentle with children.Falcon is extremely shy when he first meets people so you need to give him a chance to warm up to you. He will need multiple meetings and a patient person to give him time to build trust, and would need a gradual transition to a new home. Once he does, he will worship you and give you his absolute loyalty, seeking you out for affection and attention. He walks gently on leash but can be frightened by strangers approaching so he would need to be allowed to keep his distance.Olsa and Falcon are very attached to each other, and need to go together to a home with a secure yard and a patient family who will let them settle in and build trust at their own pace. The reward is two dogs who are affectionate, obedient, quiet, and easy to have around!
