Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Orchid is a delightful 5-month-old Australian Shepherd mix with a soft, medium build and a gentle demeanor. While she may be a bit shy at first, with patience, soft voices, and gentle handling, she blossoms into an affectionate cuddle bug. Orchid is dog-friendly and may do well with a cat if given a proper introduction. Because she is still learning about the world, a home with older children is recommended to foster her confidence and comfort. Orchid will be ready to join her forever family on May 8th, following her spay surgery. She will enter your life already microchipped, heartworm negative, and up to date on vaccines. Potty training is still a work in progress, so expect to guide her with encouragement and routine. Orchid’s adoption package includes her medical records, a collar, leash, a few days’ supply of food, a cozy blanket, and toys to help her settle in. She is waiting in the care of the Humane Society of Portage County, where she is getting lots of love while her perfect match is found. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
