Australian Shepherd and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption
VALENTINE
Australian Shepherd, Poodle
🇺🇸
Gorham, Maine
February 26th
male, small, young
DESCRIPTION
Valentine is an adorable young boy who lives up to his sweet name! This young pup is the perfect blend of playful energy and cuddle-bug charm. He loves snuggling in close whenever you're ready for downtime, but he's just as happy romping around the yard or playing with toys. Valentine gets along wonderfully with other dogs and has been very respectful and friendly with the cats in his foster home. He's extremely treat-motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding--he already walks nicely on a leash and would shine with a bit more basic training to help him reach his full potential. He is fully house trained and will go into his crate with a treat, though he may fuss a bit at first. Because he's still young and has some youthful energy, Valentine would likely be happiest in a home with a yard or more space to explore rather than an apartment. If you're looking for a loving, bright, eager-to-learn companion who will shower you with affection, Valentine may be your perfect match. He's ready to bring joy, laughter, and lots of snuggles to his forever family! Valentine is believed to be an Aussie Doodle and has a PIF fee of $550.
