About Sakari

Sakari is looking for a home with someone familiar with Australian Shepherds who can keep building her skills as a good canine citizen. She’s crate and house trained, and walks well on a leash. Car rides aren’t her thing—she gets carsick, so travel will need to be minimal. Meeting new people can make her uneasy; Sakari tends to growl at first and needs space and time to feel comfortable. She isn’t suitable for homes with children, as she will nip and try to herd them. She’s best suited for an adult-only household that wants a loyal, trainable companion with some herding instincts.
