Medium (25 – 60 lbs) Learn MoreMozart is a very cute, sweet, super smart 1-year-old Australian Shepherd mix pup! He enjoys adventures and exploring, meeting new people and dogs and, at training time, you can actually see him using his brain to figure out what you want – and, of course, how to get the treats! He loves playtime and is always happy for a quick game of tug or ball.
He gets up when his people get up and is happy to sleep in and join for morning stretches! His foster parents say he has had no accidents at home, and he’s good about alerting them when he needs to go out by sitting by the door! What a good boy!
Mozart is medium/high energy level and has already learned to relax in his foster home. He is quick to roll over on his back and ask for pets!
Mozart likes to play with a Kong or other puzzle toys between walks, loves ropes, tug toys, squeaky toys, and chasing tennis balls. He’s also a big fan of chew toys and puzzles, especially during the times when he needs to occupy himself for a while. His foster family has him going to doggy day camp from 10a.m-2p.m. which leaves him very happily snoozing in the evening.
Mozart would benefit from an active household with a yard where he could run and play fetch and work off his energy, which isn’t constant as long as he gets a few good 20–30-minute mental and/or physical workouts during the day — then he’s a happy, relaxed boy! Like all young, active dogs, Mozart requires daily walks, in addition to the aforementioned activities.
He is still learning and building his personality and would be a great match for a family (with dog savvy children 12+) that has the space and structure for him to continue to learn and explore the world with them!
Mozart would love to find his forever home and, if you are ready for the love, patience, time, and continued training of this sweet pup, please fill out an application and a volunteer will be in touch! (HD)
