Hi, my name is Scotch! I am a super smiley Australian Shepherd mix looking for my forever family! At a year and half old, I’m full grown and weigh in at 45 pounds. 

I’m a social guy - I’d love a home with another playful dog, but I wouldn’t mind having you all to myself either! I’ve spent some time with older kids and we got along great. As far as cats, I have yet to meet any, but I’m not sure if living with them is my style. I’m house and crate trained. I love car rides, walk well on a leash, and would make a great adventuring buddy! I’m also catching on quickly to commands - so far I know sit, shake, no, and I’ve got excellent recall. My foster mom is working with me to learn proper grown up manners so I’ll need someone who is willing to keep that up. I’m on the search for an active home with someone will give me walks, playtime, and some cuddles at the end of the day! Sound like I’m your new best friend? Fill out my application today!
