Here's what the humans have to say about me:
⭐️ Meet Kringle — Your New Adventure Buddy
Mini Aussie • ~4 years • 30 lbs • Fully Vetted • Leash Pro • Potty & House Trained
Good with Kids (13+) • Good with Dogs • Affectionate • Athletic • Playful • Snuggly
Kringle is the full package: gorgeous, energetic, and secretly a huge softie. When he first arrived, he thought his foster home was a dog-only commune — it took him a whole day to realize there were humans in the house too. Once he discovered them? GAME OVER. Snuggles unlocked. Cuddle mode activated. 💙
This boy loves:
✨ Long walks
✨ Playing outside with his 2-year-old foster sister
✨ Being part of the pack
✨ Checking on everyone like the neighborhood hall monitor
More Kringle vibes:
🌀 High-energy but settles beautifully after playtime
🌀 Walks AMAZING on leash — checks on his pack constantly
🌀 Greets dogs on walks better than most of our own dogs (humbling tbh)
🌀 Doesn’t care about squirrels → might be cool with cats
🌀 Brave boy — not bothered by men, vacuums, leaf blowers, nothing
🌀 Rides in the car like a perfect angel
🌀 Only one accident (a little “hey, new place!” mark)
🌀 Learned the dog door immediately
Training has been a slow burn only because Kringle had zero idea what treats were. Now that he’s discovered snacks?? We’re seeing those little gears turn. Basic commands are coming along nicely. 🧠✨
Crate vibes:
🌙 Nighttime: runs straight in, sleeps silently
🌞 Daytime: “UM EXCUSE ME I NEED MY PACK???” — so we’re working on that
Toys? He’s still trying to figure out what the heck those are. He’ll pick them up, drop them, and watch the other dogs chew like he’s observing a new species.
Kringle is high-energy, good-natured, affectionate, and just an overall lovable dude.
If you’re looking for a fun, loyal companion who’s down for adventures and couch snuggles, Kringle is your guy.
