Patience is bursting with energy and always ready to play, especially with toys. She’s a medium-sized, blue merle Australian Shepherd mix who will turn 4 on November 10th, 2026—making her a Scorpio, known for determination and curiosity. Patience does well with other dogs, though her play can be rough, so a dog friend with similar energy works best. Cats and chickens are not a good fit; she would chase them given the chance. She needs a home without small kids, since excitement sometimes makes her a little too bouncy, but older kids could be a good match. Patience listens especially well to men but is learning from female handlers every day. She’s smart and very trainable, just needs someone patient and consistent to guide her. House training is still a work in progress, so she’ll need someone willing to invest time and energy into her routine. Patience is looking for a committed person who can give her the structure she thrives on. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
