Terrier and Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in South Bend, Indiana

Colston is a 3.5-4 month old terrier/aussie mix that is a recent intake from Kentucky. He's an extra friendly pup that loves everyone. He lives with 4 other dogs and his foster has 2 larger dogs in the house. Colston loves kids and every person he's met. He's an all around sweet guy that is just happy to be here and always wanting to climb into your lap. He is potty trained via a doggy door and working on leash walking, but it's very clearly a new concept to him. He loves to lay out in the yard and soak up the sun. If you're looking for a dog to be your best friend, Colston's your guy. Photo of his mom attached, she's an Australian shepherd.
