Smucker D69703 - Australian Shepherd and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi, my name is Smucker and I am from Alabama!

My name definitely fits my personality. I'm as sweet as strawberry jam!

I'm not used to walking on a leash yet but I'm working on it. My foster mom makes be practice almost every day. I love running around in my fenced in back yard! I usually go potty outside right away, and love treats when I do. But I'm still learning so I will have some accidents for now.

So far I've been sleeping in my kennel during the night and I usually bark to wake up my family when I have to go potty. I'm still a little guy and can't make it all night yet without needing to go potty.

If you'd like a sweet guy like me, I'd love for you to take me home with you and be your best furry companion.

From the foster: A fenced in yard would be preferred, but not necessary. He does like to chase cars when they drive by, so he should be on a leash with a harness if there is not a fence.
