About Crosby

Crosby is one of six irresistibly cute boys, born on March 23, 2026, and searching for a forever home. Thought to be Australian Shepherd mixes, these pups are lively, social, and just as fuzzy and playful as you’d hope. Their exact breed heritage is uncertain, so their adult size remains a bit of a mystery, but their zest for life is guaranteed. Crosby bounces through the day with curiosity, wrestling with his brothers, and soaking in affection from anyone willing to give it. He enjoys a good zoom around the yard followed by a nap in a sunny spot. Vaccinations are current, and he’ll be neutered when old enough. Crosby and his siblings are classic puppies—they’ll need plenty of patience, ongoing training, and socialization, but in return you’ll get a loyal, energetic companion who’s great with other dogs and children.
