About Ivy

Ivy brings a whirlwind of puppy energy and sweetness that’s hard to resist. At just 4 months old and already 18 lbs, this gorgeous girl is expected to grow to about 45 lbs. Rescued just in time from a high-kill shelter, she is a beautiful mix of Australian Cattle Dog and Labrador Retriever, sporting stunning black and cream markings that hint at her future soft, shiny coat. Playful and inquisitive, Ivy delights in cuddles and would happily curl up next to her favorite humans after an active day. She thrives on attention and would prefer a home where someone is around during the day—either with an active retired couple or a family working from home. Given her gregarious nature, she gets along well with other dogs and would love to have a gentle dog companion, although she doesn’t need one to be happy. Ivy enjoys being with people of all ages, but a home with older kids would be ideal, as they can help with her training and development. She's eager to learn and engage, showcasing the intelligence common in herding breeds. This sweet pup is up to date on vaccinations and will be spayed once she reaches one year of age—Farfel's will cover those expenses with a rescue vet. If you're searching for a furry companion who is ready to share adventures and love, Ivy might just be the perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
