Australian Shepherd and Dachshund Dogs Available for Adoption in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Santos came in with his brother, mom, and possibly dad. He is only 13 lbs and 9 months old. He's definitely a small breed mix. Mom looks like a terrier dachshund and dad looks like a mini Aussie mix.

He needs a patient home. He is kennel trained but he seems to be a little skittish in new scenarios. This is common when people allow dogs to have litters and end up keeping puppies without exposing them to a typical routine and interactions. Nothing a little puppy training can't fix.

He is very sweet once he gets settled. He loves to get high-reward treats and will gently take them from your hand. He is also dog-friendly. He is still very young and easily handled if he doesn't quite understand what's being asked of him. His world was just very small and now he is learning about all sorts of new things.

If you're interested in providing a loving home to Santos, please complete our adoption application.
