About Kandy

Kandy fits her name perfectly; she’s sweet and overflowing with personality. This lively Australian Cattle Dog is a bundle of joy, always eager to greet new faces. She loves being around people and is affectionate, leaning in for pets and relishing in butt scratches. Kandy shows enthusiasm during play, whether it’s with squeaky toys or chasing after balls. However, don't be surprised if she doesn’t always return the ball! Currently in foster care, Kandy is mastering her training and is motivated by treats. She's confident with commands like sit, down, and stay, though she does have a tendency to pull on the leash as she explores her surroundings. Kandy has been crate trained and is comfortable sleeping in her crate at night. She has a playful history with a cat indoors but becomes a somewhat excited chaser outside. With other dogs, Kandy displays a bit of nervousness, so a compatible canine companion will need to have a calm demeanor and proper introductions. Ideally, she should go to a home with structure and boundaries as she can be jumpy and exuberant. At about three years of age and weighing around 45 pounds, Kandy has a medium-length coat and a lively spirit. She's spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Though currently undergoing heartworm treatment, she's thriving and will be ready for her forever home soon. If you're looking for a fun-loving companion, Kandy could be the perfect match.
