Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Wake Forest, North Carolina

Campbell is a fun-loving, active pup who's happiest when he's outside soaking up the sunshine and zooming around with his toys. He especially enjoys a good game of chase with his canine buddies and has proven to be a social butterfly-getting along well with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities.

This affectionate boy is a total "hugger" and loves greeting his people by standing up on his back legs and wrapping himself around you for a big cuddle. If you sit on the floor, be prepared-Campbell will happily climb right into your lap for belly rubs and attention, which he absolutely adores.

Campbell is doing well with his manners and is currently working on leash skills. He tends to do best on walks when it's just one-on-one, as extra doggy distractions can make it harder for him to focus. True to his breed, he has an impressive "deer-dar" and seems to notice critters at any hour-always keeping a curious eye (and nose) on his surroundings!

For an Aussie, Campbell has shown himself to be quite well-mannered. He sleeps quietly in his crate through the night and appears to be house trained. He can be a bit nervous in the car and may look for ways to keep himself occupied, so having toys or chews on hand helps him settle in.

Campbell will let you know when he needs to go outside and may join in if other dogs start barking, but he's otherwise not overly vocal. He may have a touch of anxious energy, so a home that can provide plenty of enrichment, structure, and things to keep his mind busy will help him thrive.

While he enjoys the company of other dogs, it's unclear how he would do as a solo pup. He may benefit from a canine companion or an adopter who can provide lots of engagement and reassurance. With his affectionate nature, playful spirit, and loving personality, Campbell is sure to make a wonderful addition to the right home.
