About Dusty
Hi! My name is Dusty, and I'm a 3-month-old German Shepherd x Border Collie boy with a heart as big as my paws.
“Dusty will need another dog to live with and learn from……he loves to play and wrestle.”
I wake up every day ready for cuddles, adventures and making everyone around me smile.
PERFECT HOME
As a German Shepherd x Border Collie, I'll grow into an intelligent, loyal and active dog. I'm looking for a family who understands that while I'm a pretty chilled-out puppy, I'll need ongoing training, enrichment and plenty of opportunities to use my clever brain as I grow.
My ideal home will be one where I'm included as part of the family, with people who are committed to continuing my training using kindness, patience and positive reinforcement. Like all puppies, I'll need guidance as I learn about the world, but I'm eager to please and love learning new things.
If you're looking for a loyal best friend to grow alongside your family, I might just be your perfect match.
ABOUT
If I had to describe myself, I'd say I'm mostly sweet and cuddly, with just the right amount of cheekiness to keep life interesting!
I absolutely love being around my people and am happiest when I'm snuggled up beside you or following you around to see what you're doing. I have a lovely calm nature for a young puppy, but I still enjoy a play and the occasional burst of puppy zoomies before settling down again.
I've also met some pretty cool animal friends along the way! I'm great with my chicken buddies, and I've even met my horse siblings—they're pretty cool too! I'm taking everything in my stride and enjoying learning about the big, exciting world around me.
I greet life with a wagging tail, a happy attitude and so much love to give.
TRAINING
I'm already off to a great start! I know how to sit and drop, and I'm becoming more confident with my crate training every day.
I'm also mostly toilet trained. Like any 3-month-old puppy, I still have the occasional accident, but that's simply because I'm still a baby who's learning. With a consistent routine and lots of encouragement, I'm sure I'll have it mastered in no time.
I'm a clever little boy who enjoys learning and building a bond with my people. With continued training and love, I'll grow into a wonderful companion who will reward you with a lifetime of loyalty, affection and plenty of cuddles.
Could I be the missing piece your family has been looking for?
I can't wait to meet my forever people.
