To ensure Biscuit #2 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Biscuit #2 | 11 weeks | Australian Shepherd Mix with a playful heart Biscuit is an 12-week-old Australian Shepherd mix weighing about 15 pounds, and he’s every bit the happy, confident puppy you’d hope for. This light-brown little guy is playful, affectionate, and loves being close to his people. He enjoys toys, chew bones, and snuggling under the covers, and he has an endearing habit of hiding his toys and resting his head on you when it’s time to relax. Biscuit is very social, loves meeting new people of all ages, and is friendly and outgoing with other dogs. Biscuit is well on his way with house training and already knows to run to the back door when he needs to go outside. During the day he uses a doggie door and does great, with only occasional puppy accidents. Crate training is progressing nicely—he goes in with encouragement, especially since his meals are fed in his open crate, and while he may whine at first, he settles fairly quickly. Covering the crate with a blanket and leaving him a chew helps him feel secure when left alone for a few hours. Like most puppies his age, Biscuit is just beginning leash training and is still taking in the big wide world, preferring to stop and sniff everything along the way. He’s very smart, already knows cues like “sit,” “come,” and “no,” and is highly motivated by food, toys, and affection. He has classic puppy energy, loves to play hard, then happily curls up for cuddles. Biscuit is also in the teething stage, so continued guidance with play biting will be important. Biscuit would thrive in a home with another playful dog or an active family who can give him plenty of attention, structure, and ongoing training. He’s a sweet, snuggly, joyful puppy who is ready to grow up alongside a family committed to all the fun and learning that comes with raising a young dog.
