For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Awesome Woofy (also known as Woofy) is a 2-year-old, 35 pound male who is a mini-Australian Shepherd mix seeking a forever home. Woofy’s birthday is July 4th, 2022 and he is up to date on vaccines and heartworm and flea preventative. He is also neutered.
The owners' lives have changed recently, and they feel Woofy will be able to thrive in a safer and quieter home. His current home life includes other dogs, cats and chickens, and he just wants to play with them, like a puppy. He has been with older children occasionally with good behavior, walking with them on a leash.
Woofy is a little shy at first when meeting new people since he hasn't had a lot of world experience beyond his home at a mini-farm and will warm up with as he spends more time with his potential new family.
Based on the successful adoption of three of his siblings, Woofy will be a very loyal and loving companion when given just a little time to adjust. He will do very well with someone who can be patient while this smart boy figures it all out and bonds with his new family (recommend children over 10 who understand how to live with dogs).
His favorite things to do at his home are running and playing with toys, getting treats, splashing in water, sitting and "talking" with you, and taking short rides in the car to get treats and of course he loves meal times!
Woofy is very intelligent, alert and easily trained using yummy treats. He already knows several commands..."come", " back", 'sit", "wait", "no", "yes/good boy", "kennel up' and 'go get it"...and presently working on "easy" and "stay close".
Like any young adult dog, Woofy and his adopting family can quickly bond by doing regular daily exercise and training activities - he is a very quick learner! During walks, he can continue to learn new commands and get to know a whole new world out there! For inside activities to stimulate him mentally, hard rubber chew toys, soft toys, puzzle toys, KONGS with goodies inside, LickiMats, are all great toys for his level of intelligence.
Leash-trained and crate-trained already which will really benefit Woofy so he can quickly learn where to potty outside – a fenced area is not required but would be ideal to let him enjoy the freedom!
Woofy is in the Asheville, NC area and transportation to surrounding areas can be arranged for the perfect home for Woofy if needed.
Adoption Fee: $350
