About Sixx

Sixx is a handsome young dog full of life and personality. At 3 years old and weighing around 55 pounds, he's a delightful herding-breed mix with a mix of Border Collie and Australian Shepherd in him. This clever boy is house-trained, crate-trained, and up to date on his vaccinations. He’s learned commands like sit, stay, come, and drop, and he's even able to recognize and locate family members by name. Affectionate and social, Sixx warms up quickly to people, especially men. He thrives on interaction, whether playing fetch, romping in the yard, or curling up for some cuddle time. His playful nature makes him a great fit for an active family who enjoys outdoor adventures. He plays well with other dogs and has even interacted gently with ferrets; however, cats remain a mystery. Sixx is looking for a loving home that will let him be a part of the family, not just a pet in the yard. As he has a very energetic spirit, a family with older children would suit him well. His current owner unfortunately needs to move for a job that does not allow pets, making this a difficult choice. Sixx's hope is to find a new family that will cherish him just as much. Ready to bring home a joyful companion? Sixx is eager to meet you!
