Sugar #6 | 12 weeks | Aussie Mix with a sweet but spunky vibe

Sugar is an 12-week-old Aussie mix puppy who perfectly balances sweetness and spunk. Weighing around 15 pounds, this carmel colored girl with unique markings on her face is friendly, playful, and full of puppy enthusiasm. She loves toys and approaches new situations with confidence and curiosity. Sugar is quick to bounce back if things don’t go as planned and is always eager for her next adventure—or cuddle.

Sugar is starting from scratch with house training and basic manners, as expected for her age. She’s still learning that the crate is a safe place and may vocalize at first, especially when left alone. She has been crated for short stretches (around 3–4 hours) and is gradually improving. Like most puppies, she’s working through play biting and learning appropriate chew habits, and treats are a great way to keep her engaged and learning.

She has done very well with other dogs, including much larger ones, and would love a canine companion to play with. Sugar is also doing well with cats—she’s curious and playful and is learning boundaries with guidance. She hasn’t met kids yet but is generally social and affectionate with people of all kinds. Sugar will need an active home committed to continued training, exercise, and patience as she grows into her personality.

If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives!  A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. 

The adoption fee for this pet is $450 (includes a $50 refundable puppy training deposit). Our adoption fee covers the following:

Spay/neuter

Microchip

DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. 

Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.

Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.

Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here. Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process!
