About Crosby

Meet Crosby, a remarkable and playful boy who’s back at Fetch looking for his forever home. This herding mix has a personality that shines, even if he sometimes tests your patience. While he adores cuddling up when it’s calm, he turns into a little energy ball when it’s time to play, and he’s all about the fun. Crosby loves making friends with other dogs, especially those bigger than him. He delights in human attention, enjoys toys of all kinds, and treats are a definite favorite. Car rides and exploring the yard also make him especially happy. Crosby does have some special needs that potential adopters should consider. He experiences seizures and takes medication twice daily, plus he has anxiety and balance issues that can cause him to wobble or slip when he's excited. He doesn't do well when left alone, so he requires someone home most of the time. Ideally, he should have another playful dog buddy and a fenced yard to run around in. Potty training can be hit or miss, especially since he often has accidents when left alone. Despite these quirks, his charm and cuteness make him a delightful companion. If you think you can provide the love, care, and patience he needs, send in an adoption application for Crosby today! Every day is an adventure with this lovable guy!
