Australian Shepherd and Husky Dogs Available for Adoption in South Bend, Indiana

Meredith is a 4 month old Aussie/husky that recently came in from Kentucky. She is so sweet and soft and wants so badly to just let her puppy side show. This litter seems to have had little to no human contact before arriving and although they are still quite scared, Meredith has been opening up the quickest. She will let you pet her, give her belly rubs and now will even climb up in your lap. Meredith will need time and patience while she continues to let her guard down and learn how to be a puppy. She is potty trained via a doggy door currently. She lives with her litter mates and another foster puppy and there are 2 larger dogs in the home that she has played with. Meredith has seen cats and doesn't seem to care either way about them. She likes kids but will likely be shy with them in the beginning. Despite the fear these pups have displayed, they have not shown an ounce of aggression. This girl just wants to be loved and be able to show love in return.
