Dot (p) - Pug and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet Dot.

Dot is a one-of-a-kind mix of all the goodness you could ask for! He came to us after his family could no longer care for him and was surrendered to our Adoption & Emergency Placement Center in Long Island City.

Dot has a little bit of Pug attitude paired with the intelligence and smarts of an Aussie, and the result is one very special boy. He's bright, charming, full of personality, and has endless potential.

Dot is looking for someone who will take the time to understand him, nurture him, and give him the patience, consistency, and guidance he deserves. With the right person by his side, we know this boy can thrive and become an incredible companion.

Sometimes, all a dog needs is someone willing to believe in them.

An adoption bio is only a snapshot of who an animal is. For more information about Dot, including his personality, needs, and what type of home may be the best fit, please reach out to our Adoptions Team

All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.
