About Sheriff

Adoption Fee: $495
Australian Shepherd
Age: Young Puppy
Sex: Male

Sheriff is a 4.5 month old beautiful, loving, and curious Black-Tri standard male Aussie. Sheriff and his 3 brothers were born on a farm as an accidental litter, so before they came into foster homes, they didn't know much about living indoors. In the short few weeks that he's been living with his foster families, Sheriff is learning to be a wonderful house puppy! Sheriff loves to love and be loved: running to you and wagging his tail if you call his name, greeting you after his nap, or wanting to sit on your lap and cuddle when you're nearby. While he is sleeping through the night, Sheriff is having some intermittent anxiety about sleeping in his crate. He prefers to not spend the night in his crate and instead on the floor nearby the bed. He's still a bit spooked by going up and down stairs, but in the meantime, he doesn't mind getting a lift from his foster human when he needs it. Indoor stairs aside, he's a very confident puppy willing to try new things. Sheriff is easygoing and social - excited to interact with other dogs, has met children and done very well with them, but like your typical Aussie, keeps a close eye on his humans and prefers to be close by to them. And like any puppy, would benefit from continued positive reinforcement training and overall rules and structure in his new home. Sheriff would thrive in a home with humans that are looking for a devoted Aussie companion and will put in the work to make him the best dog he can be. He would welcome a home with other dogs (although he'd also do fine solo), would be fine with dog-savvy kids who want to be involved in his training, and will need further socialization to build his confidence and make him a well-rounded doggie citizen. If Sheriff seems like he would be the perfect fit for your home, apply to meet him soon! Sheriff is fostered in Pittsburgh, PA.
