🌟 Meet Beth, the beautiful black tri-colored Australian Shepherd mix, who is looking for her forever home! This lovely lady found herself in quite a predicament after being dropped off at a shelter in Long Island, NY by someone who claimed she was just a stray. But folks, deep down, we all know she was someone's cherished companion. Now, after spending too much time in a noisy, bustling shelter that left her anxious and scared, Beth was rescued by a wonderful organization. Can you believe this? 😢 Beth is around 5 years young and weighs about 42 pounds of pure love. With her adorable curls and a cutesy nub tail, she’s ready to find that special someone who understands her needs. This girl has been through the wringer; her anxiety was so severe that she required daily sedatives just to cope in the chaotic shelter environment. But don't pity her—celebrate her spirit! 🌈 The GOOD news is that Beth is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and heartworm negative! 🙌 She's also potty trained and crate trained. When she's not snuggling up on the couch (she loves those cuddle sessions 😍), you can find her adventuring outside for some exhilarating ZOOMIES or playing fetch with her favorite tennis balls. 🥳 She warms up to new people and is great with other dogs, provided they take it slow. Oh, and she knows commands like SIT and DOWN—smart cookie! 🍪 Now let’s talk about the Beth CHALLENGE. Her protective instincts kick in at the sight of dogs on TV as she barks and growls, but don’t worry—desensitization training is already in progress! She thrives in a peaceful environment, so a home with minimal activity is what she truly craves. Teenage kids (or older!) who respect her space are ideal companions. But don’t fret—this gal is learning to build her confidence, and experience with positive training is a must for her human! 🏠 Beth just wants a loving family that truly gets her, someone who can be her guiding light after a rocky past. She will arrive home with her sedatives if needed, and she can get buddy-buddy with one or two dog pals. Who knows? Cats might even be on the menu—but let’s negotiate! If you're ready to be an integral part of her journey and help her flourish, you must apply through the Buddy App to make this sweet girl part of your family! 💖🏃‍♂️ So let’s bring Beth home, shall we? 🌟🙌 Apply now through the Buddy App!
