Secretariat is a sweet, spirited Australian Shepherd mix with a loyal heart and non-stop tail. Found as a puppy with his littermates along a quiet Texas road, Secretariat hasn't let his early rough start dull his joy for life or for the company of others. With a medium-length coat and bright eyes, he’s happiest sprawled beside you, soaking up belly rubs. Playtime takes top billing in his day—he loves romping in the yard and would be thrilled to have a doggy sibling for wrestling and snacks on the patio. He’s particularly social with other dogs and will thrive in a home that appreciates canine companionship. If you like daily walks, exploring, and being outside, Secretariat will be right there matching your energy. He hasn’t lived with cats before, and his rescuers recommend a home without them. He hasn’t been around very young children, so a family with kids 8 and up who understand puppy boundaries is ideal. Secretariat’s microchipped, fully vaccinated, and neutered, so he’s off to a healthy start and ready for his new chapter. Born February 15, Secretariat is an Aquarius, meaning he’s bound to keep you on your toes and fill your days with curiosity and charm. Start your journey together! Apply now.
