Pier - The "Water Boy's"! Australian Shepherd & Plott Hound Mix Dorchester, MA

Take a look at this dapper young fellow! His name is Pier! He and his brother, Levee, were found abandoned by a boat ramp as little puppies! Now fondly known as our "Water Boy's", these two lads are celebrating this Patricks Day in rescue, but hope they are lucky to find forever homes by this Spring!

He has been vetted, and he is ready to find their fur-ever family!

Here is what we know about Pier:
- He is about 16-17 weeks old now, and weighs approximately 25lbs!
- We did a DNA test on his brothers DNA, and it turns out he is 59% Aussie, 16% Plott Hound, 5% Mini American Shepherd, 4% Tree Walking Coonhound, & 3% Catahoula Leopard Dog.
- Since Pier is still so young, he should do okay with kids over 8 years and older, but parent should be aware and mindful of some puppy antics, like nibbling and jumping!
- He is good with dogs!
- We are not sure how he is with cats, but if the cat in his future home is dog savvy, he should do just fine!
- Pier would love an active home, One of his parents was likely full Aussie, which means he will likely be a more active dog, and would thrive on both mental and physical stimulation!
- Pier is not potty, crate or fully leash trained yet, so he will need a home that will help work on those things!

What we love about Pier: He is a fun, and happy puppy, who loves to play!

Is Pier the one for you? He's got his doggie bags packed and is ready to make his way home to you!
Their adoption fee is $500! That covers all his vetting and care up until the point of adoption.
