Kepler is a 9-month-old, approximately 35-pound Australian Shepherd mix puppy who absolutely adores belly rubs and kisses! He's a super cuddle bug who loves to play with all sorts of dog toys, with tennis balls and squeaky toys being his absolute favorites. Kepler is happy to entertain himself or play with another dog. He also enjoys playing fetch with his humans, though he doesn't always bring the ball back! Kepler is highly food-motivated, which makes training a breeze – he'll do almost anything for a tasty treat. While he can be a little nervous on leash walks, he truly loves to run and play in the yard. He has about a 50% success rate when going potty in the yard and uses a pee pad when he needs to go inside. After a day of play, Kepler's favorite activity is snuggling on the couch for neck scratches. He sleeps soundly on a dog bed in the bedroom. If you're searching for a playful and devoted companion, Kepler is ready to meet you!
