Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, I'm Whisper. I am a gentle, sweet Aussie Shepherd and Border Collie mix who has made wonderful progress in foster care. My name suits me because I am a quiet soul, but I am learning that people can be kind and safe. I now regularly approach for pats, sometimes give kisses, and I am very gentle with people and dogs.
I love dogs. They help me feel more confident and secure. I am very polite even with dogs that are not friendly, and I avoid conflict. With dogs that are kind to me, I form strong bonds and love to cuddle. I would do best in a home with another calm and friendly dog.
I am still shy and sensitive to movement and noises. I like to relax near my people when things are calm, but if someone gets up quickly I retreat to my safe space. My crate is my comfort zone, and I like having access to it at all times.
I enjoy quiet walks and have excellent leash manners when I am calm. I prefer quiet areas like Trout Lake and do best with short walks at night. I am still working on potty training, so I will need patience and consistency.
I should not live with cats. I was too interested in my foster's cat and chased her. A very confident cat might be okay, but a home without cats is best.
I am looking for a calm, predictable home with someone who understands sensitive dogs and is willing to move at my pace. I thrive with routine and gentle, positive reinforcement. I will need to stay on leash outside because I can startle easily.
If you have the patience and heart to help me continue to blossom, I will be a deeply rewarding companion.
Animal Services is here to support you every step of the way. When you adopt a dog through us, you can feel confident knowing we take great care in matching dogs with adopters, and most placements are successful. However, if things truly aren’t working out, you can bring the dog back to us - no pressure, no judgment. All adult dogs adopted from Animal Services receive veterinary health checks and are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and defleaed (if necessary) before going to their new homes.
