About Orchid

Orchid is a 6-month-old Australian Shepherd mix with a shy streak that softens quickly around gentle voices and kindness. Dogs make her feel at ease, and she's likely to settle in with a cat after a proper introduction. For households, she’ll do best with older children who can respect her space. Leash walks are already a positive in her book, and she’s made a strong start at potty training. If you have a kiddie pool, expect her to claim it as her new favorite spot—she absolutely loves to splash! Orchid comes spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworm, and will head home with some essentials. Give her some patience, and she'll become a loyal buddy. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
