Meet Tengu!
7 mos./35 lb./Male/Aussie Mix
Name: Tengu
Age: 7 months
Weight: 35 lbs
Breed: Aussie Mix
Status: Fluffy heartthrob seeking adventure partner (and full-time cuddle rights)
About Me: Hi, I’m Tengu — part athlete, part cuddle bug, and full-time scene stealer. At 7 months old and 35 lbs, I’m right in that “awkwardly adorable teen” phase… long legs, soulful eyes, and just enough confidence to know I look good. I’ve got that classic Aussie mix brain — smart, observant, and always ready to learn something new. I love to play, explore, and be where the action is… but I also melt into you when it’s time to relax. I’m gentle, affectionate, and absolutely convinced that being held is still appropriate at my size. (I will climb into your lap. This is not a suggestion.) I have an “I’m innocent” face that I use strategically. Sometimes I’m planning fun.... Sometimes I’m planning mischief. Either way, I’m very charming about it.
Best Qualities:
• Smart and eager to please
• Playful but gentle with a sweet nature
• Great with other dogs
• Athletic build = future hiking buddy
• Gives “look at him!” energy everywhere he goes
My Ideal Match:
• An active home ready for walks, play, and training
• Someone who appreciates a clever, engaging dog
• A family excited to guide a young pup into his glow-up era
• Humans who don’t mind a 35 lb lap dog
Deal Breakers:
• Boring routines
• Homes that don’t want to engage my brain
• People who pretend they don’t love a little harmless puppy mischief
Fun Fact: I have perfected the “I didn’t do it” face… even when I absolutely did.
