About Sailor

Sailor is a charming Mini Australian Shepherd with an abundance of love to share and a personality that lights up the room. Once part of a family of 15 dogs, she faced a big transition when her previous owner, a dedicated member of the rescue community, could no longer care for them due to health reasons. Despite the upheaval in her life, Sailor remains one of the most joyful dogs you’ll ever meet. She has a strong affection for people and doesn’t shy away from following you around, always wanting to be by your side. This intelligent girl has already mastered house training and crate training, and she eagerly learns new commands. Sailor gets along beautifully with other dogs, making her a great companion for a furry friend in the home. She knows how to sit and accepts treats with gentleness, showcasing her affectionate nature. Sailor thrives in a home that offers plenty of love and engagement. She’s looking for a family that will invite her into their daily lives and give her the attention she deserves. After knowing love in the past, Sailor seeks a permanent place where she can continue experiencing that warmth. If you’re ready for a loyal, happy companion, Sailor could be your ideal match. She is currently fostered in Houston, Texas, and is available for adoption nationwide with an adoption fee of $600, which includes transport. Sailor is fully vetted: vaccinated, spayed, and current on her preventatives. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
