Story

Scarlet is a 1-year-old 35lb Australian Shepherd Mix. She is a goofy, playful, & loving girl. Scarlet may be shy initially meeting a new person, but she warms up quick & is your best friend. Scarlet is a curious girl who loves the outdoors- she enjoys to run, bounce, and hop through a grassy backyard playing tag and is happy chasing or being chased. Scarlet would make a great addition into an active family who will play with her & make her feel loved. She does well with routines & calmer environments. Scarlet gets along well with other dogs & kids but would do better with older kids. She is affectionate & loves to gently hug you. Scarlet likes to play with toys & play fetch by herself. She has sweet spots & she’ll give you kisses back for scratching her. She is a loyal girl who will love her family endlessly. Scarlet would do best in a home without cats.

Story

Australian Shepherd mix, femaleWelcome Molly! Her beauty is unmatched and her spirit even lovelier. She doesn’t know a stranger and touch is her love language. Her fosters have taken some time to get to know her and here is what they have to report: Molly is 100% sweetheart. She loves her people to the Nth degree. Scratch that, she loves ALL people to the Nth degree. Arguably maybe too much sometimes. If you get down on the ground, you will have a dog right up in your face, and if you're not careful you're tripping on her. She's moderately treat motivated, but 100% affection motivated when it comes to training. She responds really well to gentle correction. Her paperwork says she's 1 Y, 40lbs but she acts like a big puppy. She's a little ornery, and very bouncy and goofy. She must have at least 10 lbs of 1980's crimped fur in that curled up tail alone. She’s working on leash and house manners and picking things up quickly. She’s bunked up with a few cats and the verdict is still out there as to whether or not we can say she’s bombproof with them. Doesn’t chase the indoor cat but outdoors it’s game on and by that we think she’s just trying to play. She curious and cautious around livestock and managed to be quite helpful to her foster dad in rounding up a stray cow. Molly is located in Templeton, CA. She is microchipped, spayed, and UTD on vaccines. She appears to be an Australian shepherd mix.
