Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Barnstable, Massachusetts

Meet Stubby! This sensitive sweetheart was living in a bubble in his previous home, meaning he wasn't meeting a lot of new people or animals, and wasn't going to a lot of new places. As such, he'll need a patient adopter who can help him settle in and learn how to be successful in a home at his own pace. New people and environments can sometimes be a bit scary for Stubby, so he would do best in a low-traffic home and quiet neighborhood that he can explore as he grows more comfortable. Stubby could potentially live with cats and older children who are well-versed in shy dog skills, but he'd prefer to be the only dog in your life right now!
