Story
🐾 Meet Ebony 🖤
Name: Ebony
Age: Estimated 1.5–2 years
Weight: 46 lbs
Guessed Breed: Australian Cattle Dog mix
🌟 Personality Snapshot
Ebony loves big and plays even bigger! She’s a joyful, enthusiastic girl who adores toys (yes… all of them) and can happily entertain herself with a squeaky when needed. She has a people-pleasing heart, a happy spirit, and a whole lot of fun packed into 46 pounds.
🥰 Cute Quirk
Every morning when Ebony is let out of her crate, she starts with a big stretch… then gently reaches up for the sweetest, most careful “good morning” hug you’ve ever experienced. After that? Zoomies.
She immediately begs for her toys (she knows exactly where they’re kept), and once she’s armed with them, it’s outside she goes — because, you know… potty first. 😉
🎓 Training & Manners
✔️ Knows Sit and Shake
✔️ Great leash skills
✔️ Crate trained (does wonderfully in her home kennel)
✔️ House trained
✔️ Good recall — and if she’s mid-play, a gentle shake of the treat jar works instantly
🏡 Home Habits
House Trained: Yes
Crate Manners: Excellent
Door Dasher: No
Jumper: Not typically — she may gently place her front paws on your waist if she wants a hug or if you’re holding her baby (toy) and forgot to hand it over
Counter Surfer: No — but she will place her paws up to check if her toys are still there and then stare at you until you laugh, compliment her intelligence, and hand them over 🥰
⚡ Energy Level
Moderate to high bursts — Ebony loves her zoomies but settles nicely once she gets them out.
🍖 Motivation
Ebony lives to please and is highly motivated by food, treats, praise, and hugs.
🐕 Social Skills
Dog-Friendly: Does great with dogs her size or larger. She’s unsure around small dogs and tends to avoid them.
With New People: Extremely friendly — she truly does not meet a stranger.
🚗 Car Manners
Ebony loves car rides and does great loading, unloading, and riding freely.
She does not like being crated in a vehicle and appears fearful of that setup, though she is perfectly comfortable in her home crate.
🧸 Favorite Things
🧸 All toys — especially fuzzy squeakies
🦴 Benebones during kennel time
🏡 Best Home Scenario
Ebony would thrive with:
✔️ An active family
✔️ Plenty of space to run
✔️ Daily walks, runs, or structured activity
A physical fence is not required, as Ebony prefers to stay close to her people. A home committed to daily exercise and continued recall work would be ideal.

Please also take a moment to read our requirements located in the application.
Please note:
The dog you’re applying for might already have a meet-and-greet scheduled, be on a trial with another family, or has been offered to another rescue within our network. Don’t worry though — we’re always happy to help you find another great match if that happens! Our goal is to make sure every pup ends up in the best home for their needs (and yours too!).
