Adopt a Shepherd / Collie / Mixed (medium coat)

***?Please note: this puppy is required to go to a home with another confident dog. No Exceptions!***

Dear Potential Adopter,

My name is Duncan and I am a super cute, fluffy, playful Shepherd/Collie mix pup. I am about 3 1/2 months now and weigh 20lbs. As adorable as I look, I do have some quirks (don't we all), so my Adoption Coordinator is working hard to find me the right home. Right now, my best friends are foster Mommy, Godiva (8 yr old Aussie mix), Willy (4 yr old Ret. Mix), and Puff Daddy, the cat. They all are helping me learn that new situations and new people are ok. Spending time in the shelter as a young pup did a number on my confidence.

I will do best in a home with another playful and confident dog, a puppy friendly schedule, patience and kindness too. I have a lot of puppy energy and LOVE to be outside, so a fenced yard is a must, as well. I am learning how to ring a bell when I want to go outside. Did I forget to mention how very smart I am??!! I am also very food motivated, which will help with my training and continued socialization. I am doing well with crate training too. I do tend to like to jump and put my paws up on people, so young children and people who might not be steady on their feet, wont be a good fit as I will probably knock them over in my exuberance. Being part shepherd, I can also use my voice to communicate things. After spending time with me, you will know my language.

Because I am so darn handsome, I receive a number of applications. Sadly, many of the nice families who have applied for me are missing one of my important adoption criteria. They could be great adopters for another dog, but just not the right fit for me. The terrific volunteers at PetConnect Rescue want to find me a forever home where it will be a successful adoption placement, all are happy and I can thrive.

I know that my family is out there, so let's team up and find them.

Love and puppy kisses,

Duncan
