Hound and Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Columbia, Maryland

Poochy - Male - Aussie Mix - White & Merle - 10 Months Old - 38 Pounds .
Fine w/dogs - sharing a kennel w/Lucy. Interested in cats but not so sure of them.
Poochy is a fun-loving young guy with the perfect mix of playful energy and sweet affection! This handsome Aussie mix loves being close to his people and is always ready to hand out kisses and cuddles. He came to us as a stray give up. Supposedly he showed up as a stray 5 days ago and the 'finder' couldn't locate an owner, so he surrendered him to us.

He knows sit, takes treats VERY gently, and has an eager-to-please personality that makes him enjoyable to work with. Punchy can be a little unsure on leash at times and would benefit from continued confidence building and positive experiences while out exploring the world.

Poochy is an active young dog who would love a home ready for adventures, playtime, and plenty of affection at the end of the day.
