Meet Brioche, one of the four handsome boys in our Bakery Litter! Brioche flew all the way from Oklahoma to Minnesota on a tiny airplane and is now looking for a family to call his own.

This fluffy Australian Shepherd mix (possibly with a little Anatolian Shepherd, too) is as sweet as his name. Brioche loves to cuddle after playtime and is always ready for the next adventure with his brothers and sister. If there aren't any toys nearby, he'll happily wrestle with puppy tails and nibble on tiny toes instead!

Brioche adores the two resident adult dogs in his foster home and follows them everywhere, soaking up everything they have to teach him. He's already sleeping quietly through the night like a champ. He's still just a baby, so he isn't potty trained yet, but he's smart and eager to learn with a family who will help him grow into the amazing dog he's meant to be.

Adoption fee: $625
