About Ivy

Ivy is a spirited 10-month-old Australian Shepherd mix weighing in at around 52 pounds. She has a lovely red and chestnut coat that complements her playful personality. Found as a puppy in Texas, Ivy was recently surrendered by her family who realized they couldn't keep up with her energy, especially with an older chi that doesn’t always play nice. Despite that, Ivy is respectful of other dogs' boundaries and is eager to engage in fun activities. Now in Boulder, CO, she’s ready for an active home where she can thrive. She’s good with both dogs and cats, and she’s been spayed and vaccinated, including being microchipped and cleared through her initial health testing. Ivy’s sweet demeanor and friendly nature make her an ideal companion for both new and experienced adopters. She is house trained and just looking for a loving family to join in on her adventures.
