About Dune

When you first meet Dune, it's hard to believe this sweet and energetic boy had a tough start. Rescued from a hoarding situation, he fought through parvo and narrowly escaped euthanasia alongside five other puppies. Now, this little fighter is ready for his next chapter: finding a forever home. Dune was raised with his siblings, each displaying unique personalities but all sharing those lively herding breed traits—sharp, driven, and playful. His high food drive and love for toys make training enjoyable and engaging, especially as he continues to learn obedience. He's a confident pup who thrives on action and is eager to find out what’s next in life. With the right structure, consistency, and plenty of opportunities to burn off energy, Dune will flourish. He would thrive in activities like trick training, dog sports, jogging, and hiking. While he would benefit from socializing with a confident resident dog, it’s not a strict requirement. Dune is currently available for foster-to-adopt, as LTA sterilizes puppies at six months. Don’t wait too long; this affectionate pup is ready to bring joy into your life!
