Neptune

My story

Sex: MaleBreed: Australian Shepherd xEstimated Date of Birth : 01/27/2023When beauty is combined with smarts you get Neptune! This sweet boy is stunning and has all the brains and fun you Aussie fans love about the breed. He’s high energy, enthusiastic and gorgeous! Definitely a winning combination for Pawsitive Change! This boy attended his 3 month training program at Tehachapi State Prison and is now looking for an active family willing to keep him challenged and enforce the boundaries he learned in prison.Neptune may be a familiar face. He was adopted last summer as a younger pup but unfortunately that family wasn’t his perfect fit. There was too much going on in the home and neighborhood and it was a bad environment for this boy. He had a chance to decompress at our ranch before going into Pawsitive Change and has done great! We have learned during his time with us that he has specific needs in a home environment and are committed to finding him the perfect fit. Neptune can be a very happy social boy, but he needs a strong leader that can set healthy boundaries with him. A home with a single person may be best. He seems to attach himself to the mother figure in the home and then guards that person. A strong handler will be able to navigate and redirect that behavior. Neptune is very affectionate and eager to please. He really just wants a job like all Aussies do. Do you like K9 sports? Looking for an agility partner? Want to learn a new hobby like dock diving? This boy would love all of those things and could be your new best friend! Have dogs? Neptune can be very social with other dogs but does sometimes take a minute to acclimate to a new dog. He enjoys other fun loving friends that he knows. If you’ve been looking for the perfect adventure buddy and have the leadership skills Neptune needs he just might be the perfect fit for you!
