Story
Georgie is an easy, well-mannered dog. She is perfect on leash, inside, in the car, and comes when called. She's very non-reactive to movement and events, and she doesn't startle. She's very calm, loving, and attentive. She currently sleeps in our bed and doesn't getting moved over - she is also comfortable in a crate for short times. She listens very well, comes when in the middle of anything, and it's very responsive. She's really the perfect dog...

She is very playful but also a little scared of everything. She has a chewing problem but is easily fixable. She loves being outdoors and also loves being around people. She doesn't bite. She like to act tough when there a fence in the way but end up like a little baby when there isn't a fence at all

Australian Cattle Dog Husky

Story
Layla is a beautiful mixed breed: 45% Husky, 47% Australian Cattle Dog, and 100% sweetheart. She weighs about 50 lbs and has the kindest eyes and the biggest heart. She’s full of energy, loves being around people, and absolutely lives for walks, fetch, adventures, and belly rubs. Layla knows basic commands like sit, lay down, stay, and leave it — and she really listens when there's a treat involved! She’s incredibly smart, loyal, and eager to please. With her energy and love for the outdoors, she’d be perfect for someone active, outdoorsy, and ready for a fun-loving companion. I’m hoping to find someone who will love her deeply and help her thrive. Ideally, I’d love to stay in touch or get occasional updates — maybe even visit if that’s ever possible (but not required). A small rehoming fee will apply, and I’d love to see where she’ll be living just to make sure it’s the right fit.
