Meet the fabulous Ivy! 🌟 This spunky 8-year-old Australian Cattle Dog (ACD) is a whirlwind of joy and energy, and she truly lives by her motto: "can't stop, won't stop!" She's a vibrant little dynamo whose excitement for life means she’s always got her paws busy—and that’s exactly how she likes it! 🎾 Ivy is your classic food lover, making her a breeze to train, especially when there's a squeaky ball involved! The more bounciness and squeakiness, the better! But hold on—be prepared, because Ivy’s impulse control can get a little fuzzy with all that excitement, and sometimes, her listening ears decide to take a vacation! 😅 For her safety and happiness, Ivy needs a home that can keep her on a leash or behind a securely fenced yard. While she is dog friendly, Ivy does carry a certain energy that can be a bit overwhelming for some furry friends. Imagine an overenthusiastic party guest who thinks everyone wants to dance! 🕺🏽 Once, she shared her life with another dog who had to teach her some tough love—so it’s crucial that any future housemates accept her free-spirited approach to life. Ivy doesn't believe in personal space; after all, every moving animal is just asking to be chased or nibbled on! 🐾 Currently, Ivy is living the farm life, but don’t let that fool you—she's definitely not a farm-friendly dog! She thinks chickens are on the menu for a delightful snack! If she had her way, her taste-testing adventures would take her into quite a bit of mischief with all the other barnyard buddies. 🐔 When she needs a break from her busy schedule, Ivy shows her classy side! She's crate trained and knows how to unwind with a good chewy bone, a snappy carrot, or her beloved stuffed kong. However, she’s a curious little troublemaker when left unattended. Consider her a quality control expert for couches and bed sheets, and you best believe she’ll want to inspect their inner workings! 😜 Ivy currently lives with kids, but let's be real—she’s selective when it comes to humans of all sizes! She needs folks who understand her quirks and can manage her environments to ensure she's happy and safe—and they can handle her big personality. 🥳 This dazzling girl will thrive best in a home that knows the inner workings of herding dogs, especially ACDs, as she’s had a colorful past filled with ups and downs! A calm, gentle leader who can set fair expectations will make a world of difference in Ivy's life. And trust me, this girl is a real chatterbox—when she's happy, you’ll hear her yips ringing in the air, and she’s got a whine that says, "Hey, I'm worried!" 🎉 If you’re up for a commitment that includes slobbery kisses, head-butts, snoot-boops, and endless play—then Ivy is your gal! She's not just looking for a home; she's searching for a lifetime partner who understands her adventurous heart. 🌈 To experience the joy of sharing your life with this exuberant soul, be sure to *apply through the Buddy App*!
