About Binx

Binx is a year-old Aussie and Lab mix who was found after being abandoned with a severely injured leg. Her leg has healed, and she's bounced back with a sweet but high-energy personality. Binx has been DNA tested and shown to have both Australian Shepherd and Lab in her, giving her a playful spirit and clever mind. She does well on a leash, knows her basic commands, and is house trained. Binx thrives on active play and would fit right in with a family interested in agility training. A securely fenced yard is an absolute must for her. She loves to cuddle in bed at night and gets along well with dogs, cats, and children. Binx is spayed, up to date on all shots, heartworm negative, and currently on prevention. She gets a bit anxious in a crate but can settle with a good kong toy. Ready to meet your new best friend?
