About Ember

Ember is a stunning Australian Shepherd looking for her forever home. At about 4 years old and weighing around 40 lbs, she has a merle red coat that complements her gentle spirit. Having come to us when her family relocated overseas, Ember is a sweet yet timid girl who thrives in calm environments. A securely fenced yard is essential for her, as she can be nervous and might try to escape if startled by sudden movements or loud noises. Ideal adopters would be active adults or older children who understand her needs. Ember gets along well with respectful children, dogs, and even cats. She's a quick learner, though she will need patience to build trust. Once she feels secure, she loves to be by your side and will engage in outdoor activities, making a great hiking companion. Just keep an eye on your counters—she's known to steal snacks if they’re within reach! If you’re patient and ready to help Ember feel secure in her new home, complete an application on our website, and we'll arrange a meet and greet. PA#5506
