About Dusty

Meet Dusty, one of the charming "Three Amigos"! This adorable 8-week-old mixed-breed puppy is ready to find a family of his own. With a mama who's an Australian Cattle Dog mix, Dusty has plenty of enthusiasm and is eager to learn. He'll need a patient family to guide him through potty training, crate training, and puppy challenges like chewing and settling down. Consistent routines and playtime will help him thrive. Support is available every step of the way. Dusty is part of the Ozzie Albies Foundation’s Best Chance Program, which includes three required training sessions focused on crate training and establishing good habits. You’ll also get free access to an online training community where you can ask questions and connect with other dog owners. We're searching for a committed adopter who will attend training sessions and follow through with practice at home. Dusty’s adoption fee is waived, and his neuter surgery will be covered by the foundation when he's old enough. Puppyhood requires time and dedication, and Dusty deserves a family ready to support him along the way. If that sounds like you, complete the adoption application today!
