About Mavis

Mavis is a charming six-year-old, 55-pound herding dog mix with those distinct and adorable tan eyebrows. Initially thought to be an Australian Cattle Dog, her black, tan, and white fur—along with Kelpie-like markings—suggest she may have some Australian Kelpie in her lineage, possibly mixed with a hint of husky. Whatever the case, Mavis is a delightful companion. She thrives on human company and loves to trot alongside her favorite person during walks. While she enjoys calm interactions with other dogs when out and about, she can show some reactivity when behind a barrier like her kennel. This is normal behavior in shelter settings, and once she's outside, Mavis showcases her true calm demeanor. As a herding dog, Mavis has a natural instinct to work, and she flourishes in environments that give her mental stimulation and structure. She's ready to find her forever family who can appreciate her unique personality and engage her with opportunities for training and fun activities. Mavis's adoption fee is waived and includes her spay procedure, age-appropriate vaccinations, a microchip, and a complimentary wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital. Ready to meet Mavis?
