Australian Shepard puppy needs a good home

FREE Puppy to a Good Home!

Location: [Ventura County]

Description:
We have a 8-week-old Australian Shepherd puppy named Pippin looking for a loving home. Pippin is energetic, playful, and full of life. He’s already learning to use a pee pad and loves to play and nap. Due to living circumstances we are unable to continue to care for the little guy.

Health:
Pippin recently visited the vet and was found to have giardia antigen, Cystoisospora antigen, and flea tapeworm. He’s currently on medication and is showing improvement.

Personality:
• Loves to play and be active.
• Can be a bit nippy, so he’ll need someone patient and experienced with puppies.
• Not very food-driven, so training might require some creativity.

Requirements:
• A home where someone can spend time training and playing with him.
• Preferably a family familiar with puppy care and medical needs.
