About Huckleberry

Meet Huckleberry, one of our delightful "Berries"! She's an adorable 8-week-old Australian Shepherd mix, weighing around 3-4 lbs. These sweet pups might be small, but they pack a personality full of charm. Huckleberry loves people and is friendly with other dogs, though she can be a bit shy. Having another confident dog in the home will help her come out of her shell. Since she's still in her puppy phase, any children in the household should be at least 8 years old and dog-savvy due to her herding tendencies. Huckleberry and her siblings will flourish with training, which we encourage for all our pups. As a note, her size and breed are a best guess since she came into rescue without known parentage. Ready to welcome this sweet girl into your home? Don't forget to check back for more updates as she settles into her foster care!
