About North

Meet North! This sweet boy was found abandoned in a remote area, but he has really come out of his shell. North is a friendly mix of Australian Shepherd and perhaps Dachshund, sporting a unique Merle coat and beautiful blue eyes. At around 20 lbs, he's fully grown and ready for new adventures. North is incredibly affectionate and loves to play, with fetch being his absolute favorite game. He gets along well with other dogs, and having a dog buddy at home would be fantastic for him. While he’s still discovering the world, he is learning how to walk on a leash, though busy streets and loud noises can still startle him. Given time, he has become more trusting and sweet. Although we haven't seen him around cats or young children, kids over 10 would likely be fine. He thrives on attention and companionship. With plenty of energy, North would benefit from a yard to run and play in. He is currently working on potty training, so some ongoing training will be beneficial. North was previously starved and emaciated, which has made him quite food motivated. North is vaccinated, chipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $450. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
