About Crockett

Crockett landed at Big Dog Rescue Project after being found as a stray pup, but nobody stepped up to claim him. He's about 9 weeks old now and, based on the Aussie/Pyr mix guess plus his 13.8-pound puppy size, odds are he'll grow into a handsome 70-75 pound adult. Crockett's got double dews and that classic, fluffy mix look. Social comes naturally to him—he gets along great with dogs, cats, and kids. He’s gentle and sweet but still brings that fun, playful puppy energy to everything he does, especially with toys. Accidents in the house haven’t been an issue, and he's already comfortable in a crate. Vaccines, dewormer, and preventatives are done; he'll get another shot and his microchip in two weeks before making his way to NJ. A well-adjusted puppy like Crockett will slot perfectly into most families wanting an affectionate, adaptable buddy. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
