Hi guys, I thought I would give you an update on how I am doing!
I went to a new foster home about 2 weeks ago, my old foster mom said I needed help learning to socialize so she sent me to a new foster mom. My new foster mom works for Pawsitively Natural Daycare & Training Academy, so I get to go to work with her every day to learn and experience new things! All the folks that work there have helped me become better adjusted with people, small kids, other dogs and even cats! I don’t chase cats at all anymore… I prefer to just ignore them now. I love going to daycare, it’s helped me so much! Maybe my forever home will keep bringing me to Pawsitively Natural to continue my outstanding progress! I’m still a shy guy, but once you gain my trust I’ll be your buddy forever. I really hope to meet you soon!
Love, Baba

Hi, my name is Baba and I am just the sweetest boy ever!

I came to Misty Creek in the middle of March 2011 with my brothers and sisters. I am a 9 month old Australian Shepard cross. Currently I weigh around 50 pounds, but I have tons of beautiful fur that appears to add an extra 10 pounds.

I tend to be more of the submissive type, but recently I discovered that I don’t need to be a shy boy all the time. I have gained lots of confidence and I am ready to face the world! I have lots of foster doggy cousins and I love to play. I would be great in a home with or without another dog.







My foster sister Rosie has taught me how to play nice. I used to nip her ears when I wanted to play, but she didn’t like that much. Now I give her gentle licks to ask her to play.

I have learned to walk on leash really well, and in due time with practice I would be a great off-leash dog too. The thing is, my prey drive is pretty high with squirrels and birds, so I am unsure about this off-leash thing right now, as well as living in a household with a cat resident. I am learning to curb my natural instinct to hunt and herd, so I will keep you posted on my progress with that.

I have almost mastered my toilet training. I know it’s been about a month, but it’s been really hard learning how to hold it, especially when you are an apartment doggie dweller. So, in reality folks, I’m doing pretty good! Guess what? I am crate trained, and I am soooo good at it! While I don’t choose to hang out in my crate when my foster mom is home, I have no problems sleeping the day away in it when she is gone.

I can be super playful and cuddly, but I also like to chill out, chew on a bone, or just sit and watch my foster mom cook (I have tried begging for her food; she won’t give me any so I have resorted to giving her puppy dog eyes from across the room).








Sometimes my foster mom calls me Baba Black Sheep, like when I accidentally chewed her comforter instead of my toy; when I put my paws up on the counter to see if I can reach my treats, and let’s not forget the time when I chewed up the handle on my leash. But those incidents are few and, hey, I’m still a puppy and I’m still learning!

I am an amazing boy, and I promise to make a fantastic pet in your home! I am super happy and loving but not too needy. And most of all I am always smiling.
