Meet Lady Australian Shepherd / Australian Cattle Dog Mix | Est. 1–2 Years Old If you've ever dreamed of having an Aussie or ACD but quietly hoped they'd be more into couch time than cattle wrangling, Lady is your girl. She has all the warm, clingy sweetness of an Australian Shepherd and exactly 0% cattle dog sass. Lady's idea of a perfect day involves being as physically close to you as possible, ideally horizontal, ideally on something soft. She is a champion cuddler, a devoted shadow, and a very enthusiastic napper. Lady has been in foster care since November, where she's been receiving treatment for heartworm. She has since completed treatment and tested negative - a huge milestone! Her new family will need to schedule a follow-up blood test in six months and keep her on monthly heartworm prevention, but otherwise she is healthy, spayed, fully vaccinated, and on flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. She is also fully house trained and crate trained. Lady’s ideal home would be generally quiet with a family who works from home. She is prone to anxiety and gets spooked by big noises. A fenced yard or a walkable neighborhood with a nearby park would also be ideal. Why? She gets nervous in the car and will bolt the moment a door opens, so she needs to be safely restrained or crated during any travel. A home that keeps driving to a minimum would make her very happy. While Lady currently lives with two dogs and three cats and manages just fine, she would love to be your one and only, or at least the undisputed center of attention. Despite being a bit of a nervous traveler, Lady has never once met a stranger. She loves all people immediately and without reservation. Kids, guests, neighbors on a walk — everyone is a potential new best friend as far as Lady is concerned. She is gentle, affectionate, and deeply loyal. If you're looking for a dog who will never, ever let you feel alone, Lady is ready to make you her full-time job. Contact: ACDRANicole@gmail.com Complete an Application: https://www.acdra.org/adoption
