Story

Meet Wyoming – 10 weeks old and already stealing hearts left and right! Picture this: a delicate, pint-sized Miniature Australian Shepherd runt who’s the absolute cutest ball of fluffy, loving energy you’ve ever seen. With his sweet little eyes and soft coat, Wyoming starts off a little shy and fearful (totally normal for a sensitive little guy like him), but watch him blossom—every day he gets braver, more playful, and more confident! This sweet, observant, curious explorer is quick on his tiny paws, loves zooming after fetch toys, running adventures indoors and out, and soaking up the world around him. He’s incredibly intelligent, eager to please his humans, and learns so fast—especially when there’s an older pup around to show him the ropes (he’s already picked up so much from his elder dog mentor!). Wyoming thrives with patient, attentive, mature adult humans who understand his small size and gentle nature. He needs an active, loving family ready to provide plenty of positive reinforcement, mental puzzles, physical play, and endless gentle encouragement to help him grow into the confident, amazing dog he’s destined to be. Potty training is in progress (he’s a quick learner!), and when he’s tuckered out? Nothing beats curling up for the sweetest cuddles right next to you. Warning: This little charmer will worm his way into your heart in seconds—you’ve been warned! He’ll reward you with tail wags, playful zoomies, and that pure, unconditional love only a Mini Aussie can give. An older dog sibling would be the cherry on top—he pays such close attention to them and it helps him thrive even more. But puppies like Wyoming don’t stay available long—especially one this special and ready for his perfect match! If your heart is melting and you’re ready to give this tiny treasure the patient, stimulating, love-filled home he deserves, submit your application today!

One look and he’s smitten… and trust me, the feeling is 100% mutual! This chunky little champ is the super food-motivated (treats = instant best friend), and already a training superstar: • Tackling potty training like a pro—no accidents indoors since day 2 • Knows “sit” and LOVES doing it (for snacks ) • Crate-trained and sleeps like a dream • Lives for belly rubs, cuddles, fetch, yard adventures, and watching you cook (he’s basically your sous-chef-in-training) Energetic enough for playtime zoomies, calm enough to snuggle on the couch—he’s got that rare Mini Aussie balance that makes him an absolute dream companion in a more compact, apartment-friendly package. Dakota isn’t just a puppy… he’s the one. The one who’ll make every day brighter, sillier, and fuller of love. But pups like this don’t last—sweet boys like Dakota get snapped up FAST!

The first thing you should know about me is that I’m a total lover. I’m still new to the big, wide world outside of the shelter, so I might seem a bit skittish when meeting new people, but if you’ll take a minute to sit down with me on a bed or couch, I’ll be stretching into your lap and demanding belly rubs in no time. At any given point in time, there’s a 90% chance I’m sprawled over some furniture, and the only thing that could make it better would be if you joined me. You’ll also be glad to hear that I’m all about manners. I’m potty-trained, so my foster family hasn’t had to worry about any accidents in the house. I’ve been sleeping through the night, and I have a really good relationship with my crate; I’m perfectly content to chill out if you need to leave me alone for a few hours, and I might choose to rest in my crate even if you are home. It’s a safe space for me, but I do confess to preferring a bigger, wire crate with room to splay out. I’m great on walks with my foster brother leading the way — I can be a little timid when walking on my own, but I’m not a leash-puller, which is a great start. I’m also extremely food-motivated and eager to continue learning! Speaking of my foster brother, you should know that other dogs are the key to my heart. My foster brother has really helped me blossom in my foster home; he’s teaching me how to beg for dinner, play tug-of-war, demand pets from the humans, steal the warm spot on the couch when you stand up to get something, bounce around like a fox when we’re wrestling, and find the most interesting piles of leaves to sniff when we’re on walks. I would love to live with another confident dog who can continue to show me the ropes, but I’m also a human-lover, and I would be just as thrilled to find a loving family who wants to watch me come out of my shell as their one-and-only. If you bring me home, I promise to repay you in laughs, cuddles, and my undying loyalty. If you’re seeking an affectionate companion who’s got the basics down and is just yearning to find a permanent, comfortable spot to land, I’m your girl — and I can’t wait to meet you. Love, Moof ##2654822##
