About Isla

Isla's journey began a few years ago when she bravely dug a cave to protect her puppies. Rescued by a kind samaritan, she discovered the joys of a warm home and a loving environment. Now about 4 to 5 years old, this charming Australian Cattle Dog mix weighs 53 pounds and is eager to find a forever family that appreciates her gentle spirit. Isla is a true cuddle champion, with a knack for making her needs known; she'll gently place her paw on you, asking for pets and affection. A smart girl, she’s learning to feel secure when left alone, though she does best with companionship. After some playful zoomies in the yard, she’s happy to be a couch potato beside you. Fully potty trained, Isla walks beautifully on a leash, taking in the neighborhood’s scents at her own pace. Her crate is her cozy bedroom where she sleeps soundly. Isla adores children and is a friendly, loving companion looking for a family who can cherish her. With her adoption fee of $400 covering her vaccinations, spay, and microchip, Isla is ready to become part of your family. Ready to find your new best friend? Apply now!
