Meet the Alpine! an adorable Australian Shepherd mix ready to bring energy, laughs, and a whole lot of love into his forever home! Alpine is a funny guy
Typical puppy but also so good at settling with the other dogs either to chew his no-hide stick or sleep on the couch in funny positions. He is a little contortionist and loves to sleep upside down and really loves to cuddle up next to you or on you when he's snoozy.
He LOVES chewing on bones (no-hide chews, puppy teething rings) and doing food puzzles and enrichment. Hes a big fan of a stuffed Kong, an IQ ball, lick mats, and treats or kibble rolled up in a towel.
He loves to play and is super fearless and curious but has learned to listen to other dogs correcting and teaching him. Doing great with socialization, loud noises, etc.
We are working on crate training and he has been doing well so far, with some training still to go.
Hes also fully pee pad trained. Doing a great job at learning not to jump, demand food, or beg and is pretty close to mastering “sit” even at 10 weeks! He's VERY smart. He also loves watching TV and participating in FaceTime calls
He is great with kids, dog-friendly, social, and full of affectionate, goofy puppy charm. Because they're Aussie mixes, they will grow into active, intelligent dogs who thrive with regular exercise, enrichment, and families who want a true companion for adventures and everyday life. They'll do best in homes ready for training, playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation.
If you're looking for a loyal best friend with a playful spirit and a smart mind, he could be your perfect match — apply to adopt and come meet your new sidekick.
