About Aubrey

Aubrey is a 4-year-old, 26-pound Basenji/Terrier mix who thrives in quieter, suburban areas like Uniondale, NY, where she’s currently being fostered. Aubrey is spayed and fully vaccinated. She’s a gentle, soulful dog with a sensitive nature—loud noises and busy environments rattle her, so a calm home and a peaceful neighborhood would suit her best. Patience and a slow approach work wonders with Aubrey. She is shy at first with strangers but never aggressive; she just needs time to get comfortable, and once she builds trust, she’ll offer nuzzles and quiet affection. Her love for outdoor adventures is clear—she enjoys brisk walks (frequently up to five daily), running, and doesn’t mind going out in the rain. She’s not very food-motivated, except for peanut butter and bully sticks. Indoors, she’s calm, often curling up like a cinnamon roll on her bed, and appreciates mental stimulation. She does well with older children (12+), is house trained, and gets along with other dogs. She notices small animals like cats and squirrels but doesn’t chase or pull. Aubrey isn’t especially cuddly yet, but she enjoys gentle strokes and is beginning to seek out contact. She’s crate-comfortable, and separation anxiety is minimal—she settles after a few initial barks. Aubrey is working on leash skills and potty training and would flourish with access to a yard. While cheerful and playful outdoors, she keeps greetings calm and is not inclined to jump on people. Aubrey is available for foster-to-adopt or adoption through Social Tees Animal Rescue. Her journey so far has been about trust—she’s unfailingly sweet, and once she warms up, she’ll be your loyal companion for good. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
