About Turbo

Turbo is a few years old Mini Australian Shepherd who is just starting to explore life outside of a breeding environment. He’s still wary, especially around people, but shows a preference for the company of animals. Currently, he’s most at ease in his kennel, as he is primarily kennel trained. Though he barks occasionally and may have accidents, he’s learning to adapt. Turbo is housebroken for short periods but requires a patience from his future home, as accidents happen during the learning phase. His fear of strangers affects his walks, and he doesn’t yet navigate leashes well, so a secure, fenced backyard is a must for him. Positive leash training will help him build confidence over time. While people can feel threatening, Turbo thrives around confident dogs; they help him navigate his fears. He has formed a beautiful bond with his foster mom, often seeking her lap during quiet moments. This sensitive, gentle soul needs a nurturing environment filled with kindness and structure, but in the right home, he will grow into a loving companion. If you're ready to put in the time and patience for a sweet pup like Turbo, apply to adopt him!
