About Stein

Stein is a striking 2-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd, weighing around 25-30 pounds. His captivating blue eyes draw attention, but it's his lively personality that truly wins hearts. Stein found his way to us due to changes in his family’s situation, yet he remains spirited and ready for fun. This adventurous pup thrives on social interactions and is eager to make friends, whether they’re humans or dogs. As a herding breed, Stein has boundless energy and requires an adopter who understands the importance of exercise, mental challenges, and training. He excels in environments where he can explore, learn, and play. However, it’s worth noting that he has a tendency to herd cats, so a feline-free home may be best. Thankfully, this behavior is instinctual and not aggressive; he’s never harmed a cat, but it's a trait to keep in mind. When it’s time to unwind, Stein is a foodie at heart, always game for treats, especially if they come slowly. He enjoys his meals at a leisurely pace. If you're seeking an energetic, engaging partner brimming with charm, Stein is ready to become part of your adventures. Fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, Stein's adoption fee is $300. He is currently enrolled in the Paws in Prison program, where he receives basic obedience training and will graduate on 11/21/2026. These dogs are prepared to be wonderful family companions through dedicated training. His adoptive family will receive his training journal, providing insights into his progress. For those excited to bring Stein into their home, submitting an adoption application is the first step. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
