About Sally

Meet Sally! This sweet and affectionate Corgi/Australian Shepherd mix has a clever mind and a zest for life. Sally came to Central Virginia Regional Rescue after her herding instincts led her to nip at a toddler, so she requires a home without young children. Her ideal family will understand her mixes' traits and provide her the calm, consistent guidance she needs. Sally is house trained and crate trained. Since entering foster care, she's learned some commands like 'sit' and 'leave it', especially while interacting with the resident cat. However, she will need continued training to master basic commands as her high energy makes her easily distracted. A confident and patient owner who sets clear boundaries will help her thrive. At under two, Sally still embodies her puppy spirit and enjoys the company of other dogs, especially those who can match her playfulness. As an enthusiastic chewer, she needs durable toys to keep her occupied, and she loves a good game of tug, even with bigger dogs. Cat introductions should be handled carefully due to her playful nature. The right home for Sally includes experienced herding breed owners who can offer structure, continued training, and an understanding of her natural instincts. She thrives with dog friends who enjoy her lively personality. Sally has plenty of love and personality to share. Are you ready to welcome a little adventure into your home? What are you waiting for?
