Sean

Sean is an adorable Australian Shepherd mix puppy with a lifetime of adventures ahead of him. Like all puppies, he's playful, curious, and learning about the world-but his breed mix means he'll need far more than a cute face and a backyard.

Please read carefully:

Australian Shepherd mixes are highly intelligent, energetic dogs who thrive when they have both physical exercise and mental enrichment every single day. They are happiest with families who enjoy an active lifestyle and are committed to training, socialization, and giving their dog a job to do. Without enough structure and activity, these dogs can become bored and develop unwanted behaviors.

Sean is looking for adopters who understand that raising a puppy is a long-term commitment. The first year requires patience, consistency, house training, leash training, continued socialization, and plenty of positive reinforcement. As he grows, his exercise and enrichment needs will only increase.

This is not a puppy for someone looking for a calm, low-maintenance companion or a dog who will be content spending long hours alone. Brian will flourish with people who are ready to invest the time and energy needed to help him become the wonderful adult dog he's meant to be.

Adopters must be home every 2 hours during this important developmental stage.

If you're excited by the idea of an active, intelligent partner to join you on life's adventures-and you're prepared for the commitment that comes with raising a working-breed mix-Sean may be the perfect match for you. (HH)

Estimated adult weight is about 40 to 50 pounds, with no guarantees.
