About Huck

Adoption Fee: $390
Australian Shepherd
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

In Murfreesboro, TN - Huck is a high-energy, medium velro young chap who is ready to find his forever home (and he's hoping it comes with a canine buddy). He's a lean 50 lbs, Australian Shepherd ,about 1-2 years, housebroken, neutered and up to date on shots. Huck is great at follow the leader, he looks for direction from his foster brother for everything�'�| from play style to mischief and everything in between. He would do best in a home with another active dog who enjoys playing. Favorite games include chase, wrestle, keep away and tug. His herding instinct is prevalent during playtime, he will nip and herd to get his canine friends to engage. His face lights up with joy when they take the bait and play chase! Huck has yet to learn the meaning of a straight line on walks, finding nearly everything fascinating. He still has work to do on loose-leash walking; a no-pull harness has helped significantly. He's very interested in fast-moving objects, 10/10 would chase cars if he was able, so a confident leader is needed. Huck is primarily interested in canine friends, but is quick to cuddle when invited and would sleep in as long as possible! Huck is not a fan of being crated, though he can be enticed with a treat. He doesn't do well if left alone (as demonstrated by his expert demolition of a soft crate), but has proven he can be left home un-crated if supervised by his foster brother. He's super friendly with strangers however has not been tested with cats or kids. Mealtime is a highlight of the day; dogs are fed separately at his foster home and he does well, but has shown he's willing to protect any high-value food he may stumble across (like chicken). He's eager to learn for treats! Huck will be a fabulous addition to an active household with a canine buddy or pack he can join! His oversized paws will take up an oversized spot in your heart ? ?? Currently fostered in Murfreesboro, TN (if adopted in the area his foster brother would LOVE to have play dates).
