About Langston

Langston, about five months old, comes with plenty of puppy spirit. He's most likely a mix of Australian Shepherd and Boston Terrier, which shines through in his playful and mischievous ways. Expect plenty of bouncing and bursts of energy—he is definitely in the rowdy phase of puppyhood. Langston isn’t house trained just yet and will need an adopter patient with basic obedience. There’s a plan for him to attend a prison handler training program starting May 25, 2026, which should help shape his manners. Langston enjoys the company of other dogs and could really thrive with a canine buddy at home. While he hasn’t been tested with cats or children at the shelter, his age suggests he’d likely learn to adapt well. Langston’s active streak means he’s a great match for someone wanting a lively companion who likes to move. Ready to meet a high-energy pup with a curious nature? What are you waiting for?
