Dustin is a sweet, shy guy who is feeling a bit overwhelmed in the shelter. He arrived there when he, his mom, and brother were found on a property in Alabama. It's likely they haven’t had the best experiences with people, which makes Dustin cautious yet eager to bond. This approximately ten-month-old Australian Shepherd mix needs a patient family willing to guide him through the essentials of puppyhood—basic commands, leash walking, and potty training. He'd thrive best in a home with another confident dog to help him come out of his shell. Currently in Alabama, he will be making his way to Maine this fall in search of a forever home. If adopting Dustin sounds like a good fit for your family, consider filling out an application on our website to get pre-approved.
