About Raspberry

Raspberry is one of the delightful "Berries" looking for a loving home. This adorable pup is about 8 weeks old and currently weighs around 3-4 lbs. His charming personality combines the sweetness of an Australian Shepherd with a playful attitude. Since he has herding tendencies, he’d do best in a home with dog-savvy kids aged 8 and up. Raspberry is very friendly with other dogs and enjoys being around people. As he grows, we recommend providing him with training to help him blossom into a well-mannered adult. More details about his personality will be available as he settles into foster care. If you’re ready to bring a sweet pet into your home, Raspberry is waiting for you!
