Pogi - Australian Shepherd and Husky Dog for Adoption in Wasilla, Alaska

**LOCATED IN FAIRBANKS**
Pogi
One Year Old
Neutered Male
Australian Shepherd/Husky Mix
Vaccinated
Microchipped

This handsome young guy is full of energy and is ready for adventure! He has a solid foundation of training and knows several tricks. He will need a patient owner who can establish a good routine and reinforce the training he's already had. Pogi will also need a home that can give him plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. He has really been enjoying treat puzzles and long walks in the woods.

Pogi is friendly with other dogs and kids, though he needs work on polite introductions, otherwise he will bowl everyone over. A lot of dogs (and people) do not appreciate his enthusiasm, which includes a lot of jumping. Pogi is kennel trained, and mostly potty trained, though you will need to watch him like a hawk at first. He has been neutered so that should help. He rides beautifully in the car.
