About Dwayne

Meet Dwayne! He's 3-1/2 months old and an 11 lb bundle of fuzzy, brindle cuteness. We think he's an Australian Shepherd mix and he packs an added bonus of having 'stubby' legs, which makes him extra adorable and so much fun to watch play. He loves to run and hop and chase after a toy and will even fetch more times than not! Dwayne has lots of puppy energy but will also entertain himself with his toys. He has a 'big boy' voice and doesn't hesitate to vocalize when he wants out of the crate or pen in the morning or sometimes during play. He will need someone who will train him in all things puppy so he can grow to be the best companion ever! This includes not barking and not putting his mouth on hands, shoes and pants. When he's told 'off' (stop biting) he will sit and wait for a treat. He knows 'sit' and 'down' and will learn much more with training as he's a smart little dude. Now that he's allowed outdoors, he's having a blast playing with the 'big' dogs and running around the yard! Exercise has also helped with the biting because he's not so bored and he's tires himself out!
