SEQUOIA - STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER / AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Australian Shepherd / Mixed (short coat). Watch out, world - here comes Sequoia! Sequoia is estimated to be around 3 months old and is a playful and affectionate little girl. She is an active girl who is always down for some fun. She loves adventure and making new friends along the way. Sequoia currently weighs about 7-8lbs and we estimate she will be around 40-50lbs when fully grown. Sequoia is part of our National Park Puppies. She and her siblings came into an overcrowded Central California animal shelter with their mom while they were still nursing. After a month under the shelter's care, they were at risk of euthanasia, simply due to a lack of space. We were so grateful to be able to save all the puppies and their mom (adoptable Sienna). They are all thriving in foster care and are looking for individual homes so that they can get the one-on-one training they need. Their mom looks to be an Australian shepherd/German shepherd mix and weighs about 45lbs. We don't know who their dad is, but we guess that he is a staffie mix based on what the puppies look like. Sequoia is the active athlete of the group. She definitely seems to have inherited more of her mom's herding breed traits rather than her dad's staffie couch potato genes. She is a confident and curious girl who can't wait to be your new sidekick for whatever the day brings. She would love a family that will take her on lots of adventures and keep her busy mind and body occupied with lots of fun games and playtime. Sequoia is a stealer of shoelaces and the first to initiate a wrestling match among her siblings. She is very food-motivated and smart, and would very much enjoy puppy classes to help her to continue to learn all of her basic manners. Sequoia has done great living with other dogs, both big and small, and could do great with a playful dog sibling or as an only dog with lots of opportunities to socialize with other dogs. Sequoia has been doing well living with dog-savvy kitties and older kids. She could be a wonderful family dog for a family with kids 7 years and older. Sequoia is still working on her housetraining and will need a family committed to helping her learn. She has been doing well sleeping in a crate at night with two of her siblings and for short-periods during the day. She has never been completely alone, so she would need a family that can slowly acclimate her to being comfortable being home alone. Sequoia is such a fun puppy, and she is going to make a very lucky family very happy. If you think that might be you, submit an application today! Sequioa's adoption fee is $400.
