Meet Archie! Archie is a 12 week old Australian Kelpie that weighs 15-pounds. He was found as a stray and is now thriving in foster care. This little guy is likely a herding breed mix, and he already shows the classic traits—high energy, sharp intelligence, and a strong bond with his people.Archie is very active and will do best with an adopter familiar with the needs of herding dogs. These breeds need more than just exercise—they need a purpose. A fenced-in yard would be ideal for Archie to safely burn off energy, explore, and play.In foster care, Archie is already showing signs of being wicked smart. He’s learning quickly and even goes to the door to let you know when he needs to go outside. He sleeps through the night in his crate without any issues. He`s also good with other dogs, though he hasn’t yet been exposed to cats, small pets, or children.As a young puppy, Archie will need continued support with basic obedience, leash training, and housetraining—but he’s eager to learn and full of potential.Archie is available through our Foster-to-Adopt Program, allowing you to foster him in your home while he completes his vetting which includes neuter, vaccinations, and microchipping. If you are interested in meeting Archie, please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and fill out a dog adoption application only. Archie’s adoption fee is $200.Please remember: Herding breeds are loyal, intelligent, and hardworking—but they’re not the right fit for every home. Archie will thrive in an active household that can provide the time, structure, and stimulation he needs to be his best self.
If you have any questions or would like to adopt Archie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
