My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Slinky is a spunky and sweet toy Australian shepherd puppy who is bursting with energy and charm. Whether he’s zipping around the yard with his epic zoomies or entertaining himself with his favorite toys, Slinky knows how to make every moment fun. But don’t be fooled—this little guy loves his human playtime just as much as his solo toy sessions.

Slinky loves all toys, but he is particularly fond of balls and crinkle toys. He’s working on fetch and seems like he’d have a blast with agility or dog sports. He’s such a quick learner and rapidly picked up “sit” and “stay” and is figuring out leash walking. He’s doing great with potty training and crate training.

Slinky is wonderful with dogs and would thrive in a home with a canine buddy to romp around with. While he can be independent, Slinky truly shines when he’s interacting with his people, so a family who can dedicate time to his playfulness and training will be perfect.

As a young herding breed, Slinky will need a home with a fenced yard where he can safely stretch his legs and run at full speed. His new family should understand the needs of herding breeds or be excited to learn about them. Slinky is still a puppy and shouldn’t be left alone for long periods—he’ll thrive best with a family who has time to guide him as he grows into the incredible dog he’s destined to be.

Slinky’s ideal family will continue supporting his training, give him the love and attention he deserves, and be ready to welcome a sweet, energetic, and smart puppy into their lives. Slinky is being fostered in the St. Louis area.
