My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi. Um—hi! I’m Echo. I just want to say that I’m very happy to meet you, even if my feet are doing that fast-pace thing again. I can’t always help it. My brain goes zoom and my legs follow. I’m a little nervous in new places (the shelter has been… a lot), but please don’t mistake that for not being fun—because oh wow, am I FUN. I just need a minute. Or maybe a few minutes. Okay, sometimes more than a few.

I’m a working/herding breed girl through and through, which means my heart is sweet but my energy is BIG. I used to have a large backyard and lots of room to move, and apartment life was… not my favorite chapter. I really need space, structure, and someone who understands dogs like me—dogs who need jobs, puzzles, training, and exercise to feel calm and happy. If you’re into agility, dog sports, or just doing cool stuff together every day? I will absolutely shine for you.

Once I warm up, I’m all wiggles and enthusiasm and “let’s do it again!” energy. I love engaging with my person and using my brain. I will need time to settle into a new home, and patience while I learn that the world is safe again. Oh—and full disclosure—I’m not a fan of having my feet touched, so that’s something we’ll need to work on together, gently and with snacks.

If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive, high-octane best friend who’s ready to learn, run, and grow with you (and maybe pace a little while doing it), I think we might be a really great team. I promise I’m worth the wait.
