Male Dog, Australian Shepherd
Australian Shepherd
Description:
Foster is currently in Texas and available for preadoption ONLY at this time. He will be ready to go to his forever home on February 23. Foster is a 1-year-old Mini Aussie with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and knows his basic commands—with an eager-to-learn attitude that makes training fun and rewarding.Foster absolutely loves other dogs and does great with pups of all ages and sizes with proper introductions. He’s happiest when he has a canine companion to play with and would thrive in a home with another dog. He walks well on a leash and enjoys getting out and about with his person.When it comes to people, Foster can be a little cautious at first, but once he bonds, he bonds deeply. He’s incredibly lovable, intelligent, and playful, and he tends to become very attached to his person. Because of this, he will do best with a confident, dog-savvy adopter who can provide clear boundaries, continued training, and guidance to help him feel secure and successful.Foster hasn’t met cats yet, so that’s still an unknown.If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and affectionate companion—and you have the experience to help a sensitive, devoted dog shine—Foster could be your perfect match. This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (Please note: Puppies under 3 months old may not be sterilized prior to adoption. If this is the case, your adoption coordinator will provide guidance on the process.) To adopt or learn more about this dog, you must complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com. PLEASE READ: • If a dog or puppy is listed, they are currently available for adoption. However, they may already be pending an adoption, and their profile may not yet reflect this. • All information is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the posting date. • Unless explicitly stated, Sandy Paws Rescue does not guarantee the breed of any dog. Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments. Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well. Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation. For information on adoption fees, procedures, or FAQs, visit our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com. The FIRST step in adopting from Sandy Paws Rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.
