About Dayton

Dayton has his second birthday coming up soon (DOB 5/15/2023) and ALL he wants for his birthday is his furever home. Dayton is a mini Australian shepherd who weighs in at 28 pounds. Dayton came to ASF from a puppy mill. He is a sweet, busy, energetic boy. He wants to know what's going on in his world at all times. He loves people, and doesn't know a stranger. On walks, (he absolutely LOVES walks and will tremble with excitement and anticipation while waiting to get his harness on) he will 'beg' people he meets to pet him. (And he has the SOFTEST fur ever!!) He also LOVES the kids he has met on his walks, belly crawling up to them and rolling over for belly rubs. And giving soft, sweet kisses as a thank you. He also rides very well in a car so you can easily take him places to walk. Dayton's ideal home would have another, friendly, young, playful dog to run with and help burn off some of his boundless energy. His new home needs a physical fenced yard as he is still working on his recall (no electric fences for this boy). He would do best with someone who is home with him often to let him out to potty. Dayton can be vocal at times, so an apartment or townhome sharing walls with others would not be a good fit. A home with no cats (or other small animals) is a must. Although he is not aggressive with cats, he obsesses on them��%BD'��%BD| will stare at them and bark at them tirelessly. He focuses on them so intently, that he doesn't see or hear anything else, including his human. Dayton is housebroken but will need to be taken out on a regular schedule to keep him from having accidents in the house. He is also crate trained and will sleep in it quietly through the night. Dayton is UTD on his vaccines, is microchipped, and on HW and flea prevention. Dayton was born with his lower jaw shorter than his upper jaw. This doesn't seem to cause him any issues, one of his favorite things is to chew on a bone. If you think Dayton is the perfect pup for you, please fill out an application at https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application. There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to her new furever family. Dayton is currently located in Jackson, OH.
